Default Cheap Gas??

Well gas dropped 20 cents a gallon over night here in Rockwall. It's currently $2.41 for low grade and $2.61 for Premium. What's the prices like where your filling up the cars?

I just got Premium 93 at Citgo yesterday for $2.99. This is down like you said about 20 cents...Citgo around here is usually the lowest in town...I have seen 93 as high as $3.39 in some gas stations Something I will never understand- I live approx 5 miles from one of the largest seaports in th State for FUEL!

A low of $2.43 for off brand regular to $2.67 for some of the name brand stations that are not dropping as quickly. Premium is consistently 20 cents higher. Blessed relief!

Funny, isn't it, how they all go up at the same exact time.... but some hang on to the higher prices for days when the price actually goes down.

Default Shell gas

Filled up the DD with regular yesterday for $2.69.
Noticed that premium (93) was at $2.99.
Seems to always be a little higher here than most places.
Interesting since the refineries are visible to the north and south.

We have been trained well. Sad when we think that $2.50 per gallon is cheap.

Of course, it is 20% less than we had been paying.
