I saw it for that price on the way home from work tonight from Norwood to Wrentham at about 6 stations
basswipe 11-09-2005, 06:43 PM Its amazing what we'll settle for.
A little more than a year and a half ago we all were bitchin' about gas being a
buck seventy something.Hell I can remember Joe's on the Fall Riv/Tiverton line having gas for around a 1.40-1.50 a few times.
jbuck 11-09-2005, 06:53 PM All the big wigs were in front of the senate today. They were trying to dafend themselves for having record profits in the third quarter of this year.

CJ Johnson 11-09-2005, 07:38 PM Gas station in Medford is selling at .99 a gal. The city has been doing road work in front of his stationand were preventing customers from getting in, so he decided to drop his price to draw in the crowds. From what I saw on the news he had so many cars waiting to get in the road crew could not work . Think the city threaten to shut him down for causing a road hazard.
its bush's... oh never mind.
i believe it droped so quickly because the refineries were down which made a large surplus of oil. now the refineries are back up and pumping out product. They'll go up again :(
spence 11-09-2005, 07:44 PM It probably dropped so quickly for a few reasons.
1) Speculation that the hurricanes would do tremendous damage to the refinery and distribution infrastructure caused it to spike, but damage was less than expected.
2) The oil industry realized it had a massive PR problem and worked prices down quickly so as to avert political disaster.

hunan 11-10-2005, 09:47 AM people tend to stay home more in the winter so gas goes down and home heating oil goes up. :mad:

JohnR 11-10-2005, 10:00 AM I almost got under $50 for a full tank yesterday at Hess, Airport Rd, Warwick... $2.15 per gallon. My problem is that I fill up every 4-5 days...
Diamond Tackle 11-10-2005, 10:02 AM Ronnie, Im 45 I was just thinking I remember about .57cents a gal. Back then a penny or 2 was a big deal.Drove my first station wagon that got about 8 mpg .
Lowest I've see here in nj is $2.14, but there is a stretch on rt 9 south of here that always has the LOWEST prices in nj,and sometimes the east coast by approx 20 cents/gal. There are 2 gas stations on every single block for what seems like a 10 mile stretch. ill have to check there, as someone may very well have broken the $2 barrier already. I reallly think we may see $1.89 again, one can only hope.
Steve K 11-10-2005, 10:29 AM Paid $2.099 this morning in MA.
MoroneSaxatilis 11-10-2005, 05:56 PM Not to get everyone sick but , Have you seen the price of food at your local supermarket !!!!!!

Any kind of pure fruit juice other than apple: Often over $5.00/Gal
Orajel: Over $600.00/LB

TheRattBoy 11-10-2005, 07:25 PM 2.29 - 2.49 in Hudson today...
Karl F 11-10-2005, 07:37 PM the fluctuations is what frosts my cookies... 2.46,2.49 Eastham/Orleans... 2.22, 2.25 Chatham/Harwich... what really burns me is Cumbys/Gulf, they are all owned by one company, not independent... 2.46 in Orleans, short ride over to Chatham, 2.25 :af: 3, 4 cents a gallon, I don't look twice, but 20 cents!, thats friggen gougin'.. was the same when it was up high, even worse, at one point there was a 30 cent spread between the 2... if I need a fill-up, 25-30 gallons, it's worth the trip, and time...
I remember when I worked pumping gas as a kid... when it hit 35 cents a gallon, people threw a freakin' fit... couple years later, it was 65-70 cents, and Pinto's and Vega's were all the rage....
ahhh Vega's.. real sleeper once ya stuffed a 350 under the hood :devil2:
Squid kids Dad 11-10-2005, 07:50 PM Down to $2.03 today at Cumbys
Raider Ronnie 11-10-2005, 07:58 PM Pinto's and Vega's were all the rage....

gf2020 11-13-2005, 08:00 PM I filled up on Friday for $1.99 per gallon at the Mobil station on Route 60 in Revere opposite the Northgate Mall.
I saw $2.04 at the Shell station on Cambridge Street in Cambridge on Saturday morning and I paid $2.37 in Newburgh, NY this morning. It's still $2.35 at the Exxons & Mobils on the Mass Pike, which is clearly price gouging.

They have been gouging us all along. Or are they trying to tell us that they are Losing $ now?! Lowest here is $2.04. Curious if anyone has seen $1.99 yet?Its coming.
Whats really pi$$ing me off is Diesel still at $2.69+, Bastards!.Cant wait til I convert to SVO.
BigBo 11-14-2005, 12:23 PM $1.99 at Super Petroleum in Braintree MA near the Viking Club (MSBA Meeting Hall) and the gas tank depot.
Mike P 11-14-2005, 01:23 PM It's still $2.35 at the Exxons & Mobils on the Mass Pike, which is clearly price gouging.
Don't forget, those stations probably have to pay a pretty penny to the Turnpike Authority to get the franchise.
Here in NY, we used to have two bait and tackle shops at two state parks. The buildings are still there, but the shops aren't. Know why? Cause the state wanted $250,000 from each just to keep their doors open.

That must be the Captree bt & the one that used to be at the Jones Fishing pier, in Lot #10? as I recall. $250k, thats not a lease, thats more like extortion/ransom.
Mike P 11-14-2005, 07:32 PM Those were the ones. Now I know why the one at Captree was charging $130 for a 706---back in 1993 :eek:
Raider Ronnie 11-14-2005, 07:38 PM Can someone try to explain to me why deisel is so much more than gas? :mad:

Vermonter 11-14-2005, 09:18 PM Damn..I feel old..I remember paying 32 cents a gallon..I'm only 49 or is it 50?? :think:
