Gas prices have gone to almost $4 a gallon to just over $3 a gallon in the last week. They say that gas prices don't go up because of the season, but I think that is crap. The prices went up as soon as summer hit and now that the cold weather is coming prices are going down again.
We have seen a small, but still there, drop this past week. I wonder if its just random depending on where you live? We are coming into the busiest time of the year too remember.
It has gone down quite a bit here, too, for which I am grateful. I hate that it will probably not get back down to a reasonable number (like $1.50 or less!) ever again.
The prices have not gone down a ton yet but they are dropping! I'm just glad! I do agree that they raise the prices in the summer, when more people drive. It's crazy if you ask me!
I think it would be great if we could get back down to around $2 a gallon but I don't know if that will happen. I was excited that I put $20 in and actually got myself up to half a tank of gas. All summer $20 has only been getting me about 1/4 full.
The gas prices here haven't gone down that dramatically, but any decrease is always nice. I thought that this seasonal change was common though. Isn't the price always a little higher in the summer? I guess I just never heard that this was something unusual this year.
Yeah, the prices have not gone down that much in my area. I thought they were going to, but they are stuck at 3.42-3.51 in my area. I do hope they keep going down, but who knows. I would love to see it in the 2 dollar range again. Show me some real savings at the pump!
Right now I am thankful for having a points system with our local food market. For one thing its the closest store we have in our area so being able to get almost anything there is a plus. Then saving on gas helps with the prices (until they get "normal").
Donald, it is a seasonal thing but the gas and oil companies will tell you that it isn't them gouging consumers because they travel more. The fact is the gas we are using today is from oil that could have been bought over a year ago.
