Default Gas prices dropping?

Just curious if you guys have noticed gas prices starting to drop yet? I paid $4.03 for premium 93 octane today in South Jersey. That's the lowest I've seen so far.

they are here where i live too,,,from what i have heard (hersey) is that our Fed gov stepped in, finally. Bush, who is nothing but oil from $, wasnt quite making the steps needed to help out the situation. I have no idea if theres any truth to that, but it would'nt surprise me any if it was true. form what i understand, we should be back to 3 bux by the end of summer (reg gas)

They'll continue to drop, until late fall early winter. Then the prices will rise again. That's my opinion.

They say that demand is down so the oil reserves are higher than expected. That's helping the prices drove. Going from $147. to $122. per barrel is a huge drop in a few weeks.

About time. I got gas in Jersey near Englishtown Saturday night for 3.87 for regular, had to pay cash though.

There's a station by my house that if I pay cash it's 3.96, that's pretty cheap for CT.

Read that precious line, 3.96, pretty cheap. That is EXACTLY what the oil companies want us to think, " oh look under 4 bucks a gallon that's great"

Now let's see it get back under 2 bucks a gallon, then we can be happy

Lets put it this way when oil was 1XX oer barrel gas prices were 3.XX per gallon on the way up but on the way down the rate of reduction is NOT the same as the rate of increase or the ratio.

Yes they were dropping...up until today when Crude oil prices jumped almost $5.00/barrel again today LOL.
I too paid only $4.03 per gallon for BP Amoco 93 the other day and I was actually happy about it LOL.

some guys at work were talking about oil dropiing to somewhere around 60 a barrel. i dont think they would drop it that low even if they had unlimited oil reserves. i think this is just a temporary "lets get everyone excited on a little drop" strategy. lets be honest, i hope im totally wrong but i really think gas will be around double what it is now eventually.
