Gas prices have been coming down all over the country since the summer season ended. The lowest prices here in our town are still over two per gallon, but when we were going down to the Northwest Valley today, we saw gas advertised for under $2.
Having recently made a commitment to a new gas consumption entity, we have been tracking gas prices. When we take delivery of the new beast after Thanksgiving weekend, we will need to top off the 80 gallon tank. Searching on Gas Buddy reveals a lot of prices near the delivery location to be just a shade over two bucks; hopefully, those will go down by the time we get there.
One of the business magazines (I don’t link to any Bloomberg sites because they are rabidly anti-second-amendment) speculates that gas prices could fall to $1.70 or below by Christmas. That will be good for us since we will be going to Palm Desert California one more time before then and gas will probably keep coming down in price.
Still pushing 2.80/3.00 for 89 octane out here.
I’ll be real interested to see what it’s going for in Colorado next week…..
I looked at Colorado Gas Prices and they seem to be lower than a lot of places in areas from Pueblo up through Fort Collins. Lowest I saw for regular was a buck sixty-nine at Costco in Littleton.
That’s just about “Pre-0bama” prices!
Pre-Obama – when the nation was mildly messed up and not totally f**ked up like it is now.
Don’t get me started……..
Saw your *plumbing* post on your site. We’ve been there and HATE working on that stuff. Our biggest misfortune here in the desert is having garden hoses bust open because of the UV and heat. So far, the interior plumbing has not been an issue.
Fortunately we haven’t had any interior pipes burst!
THAT’S IT!!! We’re moving to Arizona!
@Crotalus – I thought you already lived out there from your extensive knowledge of desert fauna….
Heh! I wish, drjim!
