Rode past the gas station and almost choked when I saw the sign.
What the hell is going on????
These prices surely will not last long.
I feel a slaughter coming on.

(72,790 posts)It's nice that they're low for the time being. It's a nice break for the average folks.
Gas is around 2.60/reg in my part of CT. It's normally higher in CT since we have higher state taxes.

(725 posts)How low can it go? Maybe lots lower because this is economic warfare against Russia. Just wait until Americans are told we need to bail out the too big to fail oil companies and all of the derivatives. Think they would wage economic warfare on their dime? The Saudis have more money than God so they can ride this out for years.

(725 posts)low income, broke, poor etc, and everyone else is enjoying it, too, but we will pay in the end because this is a weapon in economic warfare that could end up in a shooting war plus bailouts.
BTW, the Saudis already threatened Russia with terrorists. For now they and the west are doing this but the terrorists are waiting in the wings. These are much more dangerous times than most people realize.

(25,941 posts)there's no real incentive now to keep a full tank when the price may drop even further tomorrow.
