It's sad that we've gotten to the point that $3.49 sounds cheap!

Firethorn55, that is the way it used to be back in the day. all stations don't buy gas at same time so prices should vary, but it seems today their is price fixing going on. I don't want 2.49 gas.....I want 1.50 gas, arabs, african, south american, mexican and russian govt getting rich and we are stupid enought to not drill our own oil in US or build new refineries thanks to greenies and our govt so WE THE PEOPLE pay... vote those in congress out in favor of ones who believe in they work for US and not themselves, it is OUR govt.

Oh, I can get it for 3.72 for premium here(91 RON)

Notice the trend people. Gas hit 1.89 then dropped to 1.40ish. Gas hit 2.89 then dropped to 2.40ish. Gas hit 4.60ish and dropped to 3.89ish. There is no end in sight. This is merely temporary. Enjoy it while it lasts.
