$1.91 for the cheap stuff this morning!

$1.97 down the street. First time in quite awhile under $2, been hovering around $2.05-2.10 for a week or so.

Funny Thing is:

The funny thing is: Every time the gov starts to probe the profits of the oil companies, the prices go down.

Shouldn't we have somebody watch over them constantly?

Thank NY state taxes, but we're still $2.30's here. Quick to hike it up, slow to drop it down.

About a month ago one of the local convenience stores (Circle K) started "Customer Appreciation Day" (which quickly turned into every day), and sold mid-grade for the same price as the low-grade.

Yesterday I noted 2 of the local brand-name stations (Sunoco and Philips 66) offering mid-grade for the same price as the low-grade ($1.97). So I now have a full tank of $1.97 Sunoco mid-grade, and in the 3 miles that I've driven the car since, I'm positive that it likes this new cheaper gas better than that old $3+ a gallon stuff.

We are also at $1.97 here in town, got some last night. Out on by-pass, 4 block away it is $2.03.

A few days ago there were a few comments about the media doing a poor job of reporting on gasoline. Here is a perfect example. USA Today had a story today that talks about Thanksgiving trips being costly this year compared to last year and how it will affect trips. (No comments on the source since it is more widely read than many reputable papers and probably will get widely reported by television tonight.)

They reported that gasoline was 25 cents a gallon higher. AAA described the average trip as 100 miles round trip. At a very low 15 mpg, the average driver would use 6.66 gallons at an additional cost of $1.67 compared to last year.

I don't think you want to tell Grandma you are not visiting this year to save the money unless you are really cheap.

I was going to suggest staying home and sending Grandma a card, but even that would cost more than $1.67.
