v-power only $2.65 per gallon in my area....

V8MAN · 10-30-2008, 02:28 PM

seems like it was only yesterday when I was paying $4+ per gallon for gas. I just got back from my local shell station and filled up with V-power for $2.65 a gallon!!!

I never thought I would see prices below $3 a gallon for premium gas again, great timing!

I saw it for 2.29 in my area. I even saw 1.99 regular at another gas station.

its getting cheaper by the day up here in Canada too. About a month ago i was lucky if i could get v-power for under $1.40 a liter. and then a few weeks ago it felt like christmas when i filled up for $1.16! and today its at $1.049!!!

pittsy · 10-30-2008, 03:13 PM

It is still 3.49 for Chevron down here in S. Calif

drvai · 10-30-2008, 04:30 PM

Is really the price of Shell justified???
In my area is like 50 cents more than for example amoco or chevron

i fill up at quiktrip near my buddy's house, my last fill up was only 2.39 i think. btw, quiktrip is top tier gas for cheap! that gas station has gas wars with the racetrac a couple blocks away...gas wars = good for the little guy

2.80 in Las Vegas

Perpetrator · 10-30-2008, 05:12 PM

This morning was $3.15 for Socal area.

mdrobc13 · 10-30-2008, 05:15 PM

Enjoy it while it lasts...I'd personally like to fill up about 100 barrels worth at these prices and just hide it in my back yard or something... something tells me that it'll be back at $3.50 by early spring or summer again! Exon just released their quarterly profits $13 billion wasn't it? That's gotta get someones attention and motivation for prices to continue at their ah previous levels...not to mention the retooling of the US automotive industry for smaller and fuel efficent cars!

Herms · 10-30-2008, 05:33 PM

still well above $3 in socal sadly, much still much cheaper than just a few months ago.

V8MAN · 10-30-2008, 05:39 PM

yea I wouldn't be surprised by it going back up into the mid $3's by next summer

And Exxon...they actually only made $14.8 billion in profit last qtr, bastards

Not in all parts of So.Cal! I saw $3.03 for premium yesterday in Ontario, California. It should be under $3 by next week.

M2381 · 10-30-2008, 06:07 PM

Filled up couple of days ago and it was 2.37 for Shell V-power

I thought I needed new contacts at first..no joke

yes but isn't that what is driving the price down? Demand is diminishing?
as more people buy nonsense hybrids and civics, and escalades sit on the lots, we are actually using less gas as time goes on therefore the price goes down? supply and demand right?
perhaps the dollars slightly getting stronger is helping too, remember oil is traded in Euros and one main reason for the price going crazy here over the last year is the dollars lost value against the euro.

whatever it is, now that i've had my m3 for a week, it sure does demand lots of gas, seems like every day I fill up

glad its in the high $2's, not $4.00 lmao....

endofanera7 · 10-30-2008, 08:01 PM

God! Premium barely go below 3.50 here!!! 3.56 today!
