BP premium cost me $3.34 this last weekend. Regular is 2.90 here now. Funny how it seems so cheap when there is a two instead of a three starting out the price.

got it for $3.18 last night, which means the cheap stuff was $2.98. To bad it took the economy to take a dump to drag down gas prices with it.

Agreed. OPEC is meeting in mid-November. It is already being speculated that they will anounce a production cut to keep prices from falling any more than they already have. Prices will rebound just in time for Christmas. Joy.
