Wow..prices are dropping just about everywhere! yeah!!

It was $1.85 here this morning, I have to say I never thought it would get below $2.00 again. I hope prices keeps dropping...

It's $1.48 here in Alabama!

AMD · 12-10-2008, 07:47 AM

Down to $1.38.

rayray08 · 12-10-2008, 08:05 AM

Lowest I saw yesterday was 1.73.
I usually get the middle gas so it was 15.98 to fill my tank from almost empty. YIPPEEE!!!

dogbert · 12-10-2008, 08:28 AM

It was $1.56 yesterday.

Jenn218 · 12-11-2008, 04:15 PM

Paid $1.40 today!

I'm DEFINITELY not complaining about the lower prices (love it) - but this gas they are selling now w/ ethanol...well, now, none of our cars get very good gas mileage...anyone else notice this?
I asked some family and they all said the same thing...and my family are antics about keeping a log in their cars (each fill up, mileage, oil changed, etc).

DvlshAngel985 · 12-11-2008, 04:59 PM

from my understanding, that enviromentally safe fuel is really expensive to produce. All the shuttles at my school are powerd by biofuels and my understanding is they are expensive! So adding ethanol to our gas would make gas prices higher rather than drive the price down. Unless my ochem teacher is wrong!

Ethanol is a very inefficient fuel, highly corrosive and has a short shelf life. It has much less energy per gallon than regular unleaded and costs much more to produce. I am one of those who keeps records and it has cut our mileage by as much as 22%.

My father said the same thing about it being corrosive - he is in the auto business and has seen it first hand (apparently) on some test models or something

BUT it is getting to where you can't find a station that doesn't have it added to their gas!

DvlshAngel985 · 12-12-2008, 10:41 AM

they're trying to "be green" is my guess for adding it to the gas
