One station in Taunton is $1.74 a gallon this a.m.

Oh jeez I feel so bad for the oil companies....they are probably losing their shirts!:rotflmao: I hope they do...payback is a bitch! Another year of this and maybe we can bail them out too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotflmao:

That is funny as all hell don't be surprised if the goverment does bail them out.
Last quarter was there biggest quarterly profit ever and the prices were lowest in a year.Just be prepared for another gas hike.

$2.05 here and dropping fast.

Translation for MV: Gas under $3.00 .... haha ..... its $2.80 over here... not complaining

Oil companies losing their shirts?

Don't you mean posting record profits for the second time this year?

i want to send a get well soon card

Never did I think I would see sub $2.00 prices again in my life! I guess this is the one positive in a failing economy. OPEC meets at the end of the month so enjoy it while it lasts.

what's the point ?.....even if it goes to $0.50 a gallon ,the way construction is going, there wont be enough dough to fill the truck.

I also didnt think i would see it below 2.00 again.

Th F***ing Sunoco station in Harrisville RI is still $2.35 a gallon. He is the only gas station for miles in any direction so he constantly gouges. I would run out of gas before I buy from this jerk.

AHOLE there is one in every town.

time to party like it's 1999....:jump1:

i am having difficulty remembering..

i must have Redcrabber syndrome :rotf2:

I remember .25 a gallon or so - but you also got it pumped for ya and got free glassware with a fill-up :hihi:

Dude, I keep tryin' to tell ya, I'm old :hs:

oh yeah i remember having 2.50 cents and buying two
boston whaler jugs (ten gallons) and going all weekend
60"s
but i'm talkin about recently like in the 80's before we started getting reemed at the pump

In high school my folks had a gold '63 Impala - bro, I was pimpin' driving that to the Block (that's West Broadway for you youngsters) to find someone to buy for us on Friday night -

Yup, let's see - 2 sixers of Bud, pint of Tango, a coupla GIQ's - coupla bucks for gas....

Man, I wish I had that car today - I'd be low-ridin' all over town, my main - with rod racks on it, too... :rotflmao:

1.86 a gal here in New Jersey Jets country..:laugha::wave:
Am I supposed to be happy.Can some one tell me how it can go down 120 percent in three months.
The price of fuel surcharge on everything shipped by land is still intact.I have not seen anything that I buy go down in price yet..They got what they wanted out of this..

I remember Sunoco economy (octane 1 below regular grade) at 17 cents per gallon! :)

true. Our hall hasn't had a call for a carpenter in over a week. We have 140 guys on the bench out a membership of 430. I've been out for going on 7 weeks now.

Things don't look good at all around here, constructionwise.

Waste not, want not...

(S&H = Sperry and Hutchinson)

Hmmm... let me see, I've still got a coupla books half full somewhere :smokin:

Saw $1.99 in Uxbridge last night. Going up now to see what it is in Whitinsville. There a no name there that has been the cheapest anywhere.

Paul, I grew up on Narries - the price was always right too -

God, I used to get .15 ponies of Narry at a local saloon - ah, the good old days! :hihi:

Tell ya what though - after a whole summer of drinking draft Narragansetts I almost took down the TP in the head and replaced it with a sponge - whew :hs:

Man, that stuff was not kind to your system in the morning...

Sloeeddie likes to tell me that Chuckm but the new Gansetts don't have that effect, at least no worse than any other beer....
Living in Gansett, I have to keep the fridge stocked with Diet Gansett in the summer. Only beer the wife will drink. That shelf is full of Yuengling black and tan right now

The waterhole up the street usually has pints of Gansetts for $2.75... a long way from $0.15 but cheaper than most on the island!


FYI gas in gansett; still over 2.00 (2.13 this AM when I gassed the truck)

My wife and I photographed the wedding of the guy who re-introduced Narragansett at the Clambake Club -

Gotta admit, I haven't yet tried the new version but understand he was able to get info from one of the old brewmasters for authenticity.

Ooooops...major thread-jacking here....

Gas was 2.02 at the 7-11 on Memorial just up from Jimmie's Saloon - but it's creeping back up now - there's been a price war between the 7-11 and the Sunoco place on the opposie corner for a while now - so far 7-11 has the lowest on the Island that I know of -

$1.77 in Saugus,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and i also remember gas at 16cents/gallon
in the early 60's, in OK. kinda like fresh fish at the docks in NE.

in the late sixties, for 0.25 and a coupon shaped like a quarter that we
cut out of the Tulsa Tribune ~~we could see a summertime double matinee.

titles like The Invisible Man, The Fly, The Blob, The 50' Tall Woman,
Godzilla, King Kong, Dracula, The Werewolf, Frankenstein, Superman,
Rin-Tin-Tin, Roy Rogers, Zorro, and The Lone Ranger ~all summer long.

all in black and white ~~and we still had to sneak in!!

1.66 down here in HOuston, TX. Go figure?

that's because you are on the awwwl fileds'
doorstep,,,,,,,,doesn't have to go too far

post production/refinery, Keeper.
how's the redfishin; down yer way??

I remember GIQs. The drinking age was 21 in Mass then and we'd get someone to buy a case. I was buying at the packy in Webster Square at 17.
And gas here in VT is still 2 something. I'll have to look tomorrow.

Ahhhhh...the good old days!

Cheap gas and drinking and driving with impunity :rollem:

Hey, we all did it - and some of us were lucky - for a while anyway....:smokin:
