1.89 in KY.

I just hope gas can stay down this low: I paid 1.89/gal just outside Paducah today.
When its cheaper it sure helps the economy, I never thought Id call 1.89 cheap, but its much better then $4 + /gal.

Yeah, opec won't sell much oil if they bankrupt the world. They will sell more oil if they keep it afordable. If they price it out of reach, they will have to drink it as people won't be able to aford it. They were also playing havic with economies a round the world. At a round 2.00$ a gallon, they can still make a good profit and we can still aford to buy it. I filled up my 4x4 ranger today for 14.50$, of course it wasn't empty, but it felt better than 32.00$ like it was costing.

well the prices in my area seemed to have leveled out so far, the local bp and shell stations on the corner by my house have been at 2.27 for the past 3 days. but if you drive 2 towns over west its 2.09 and towards iowa its around 1.89-1.95!
