I'm south of D.C. and very close to the Northern neck of Virgina, I **** you not!!! And from my home county to the county I work in gas dropped 10-15 cents due to anti-pollution additives!

Unhappy im sorry

Really guys my heart bleeds for you. Its only 2.55 if your lucky enough to find it that low out here in San Diego! I think it went down from like 2.58 to 2.57. Thats a whole penny, Gas dropping like 10 or 15 cents in a day or even a week is unheard of out here. Thanks for letting me vent, guys!

mr clean, where do you gas up? i normally go anywhere, because even with a 0.10 difference, you are saving less than 2.50 on a whole tank. actually, 3 bucks for your long bed and 30 gallon tank.

So far i've found that the chevron and "generic" gas station on poway rd. are cheap, and the arco on poway road, right near the good 'ol alvaros.

$1.95 in Oxford, OH. Too bad the day before I had filled up with $1.99, but I topped it off anyway. Rumors around here are that gas is expected to drop .25 cents per gallon, I will believe it when I see it.

I Our Dreams

I actually saw gas for .75 cents a gallon the other day driving down the road, but then I realized I had pigs flying out of my @$$ and I was late to work.
All kidding aside, I dont think it will ever get any better, the only solution would be to put a gas pump in at your house and but it in bulk so you got a discount. It would kind of be like shopping at cosco.

costco gas station are typically the lowest in town. But you have to have membership.

I just say hey, even $0.10 per gallon only saves me about $2.15 per tank, i figure i usually put 21.5 gallons in her.

I could even justify using 91 octane (that's as high as premium gets in SD) at $0.20 more per gallon, that's about 4 bucks extra.
