Don't know about your neck of the woods, but the rise here has been gradual...and has somewhat mirrored the move up in oil prices. It's gone up $.16, but took more than 4 days.

Just saw the chart, thought it seemed like a decent move down.

Around me, the gas stations did their usual pre-holiday gas spike a bit before Christmas (went up from about 2.15 to around 3.35), but the price has been dropping a bit of late (down to 2.23-2.29 range). I expect to see it drop more next week, since the second week of most schools' break ends this week (along with the crude price dropping).

With the barrel of oil slide today on the NYMEX under $56 a barrel, should see a drop in prices on the gasoline end.

Napoleon54 · 01-04-2007, 06:32 PM

Currently $2.45-$2.50 here in Buffalo.

Sirrich3 · 01-04-2007, 09:57 PM

Found some today for $2.38...at Costco

Napoleon54 · 01-05-2007, 01:13 AM

I'm not typically one to join a long line to save a few cents on gas, so if one place is offering $2.46 and the one across the street is $2.48 with no line, I'll pay the extra $0.60 to fill my 20 gallon tank and get the heck out of there a few minutes quicker. I think there are plenty of other less inconveniet ways for me to make up the $0.60 difference (that's assuming I care about 60 cents to begin with... )

i hope you mean 2.35!

guiseppewv · 01-05-2007, 11:57 AM

$2.59 at Costco here on Oahu. I have seen it as high as $2.90, though.

They still have 85? I thought that was long gone.

I remember the days of leaded gas, too.

At higher altitudes, and engine does not require as high of octane fuel. 85 octane is the "regular" (unleaded) in higher altitude areas.

Me too, barely though. My grandfather started a family business back in the 70s to upgrade gas stations when unleaded and it's various grades started to appear. Storage tanks, piping, pumps, awnings, concrete work, etc. They were busy as hell right up through the late 80s but when he died in '89 my family dissolved the business. So if anyone ever feels like building your own gas station, my father and uncle are the guys to ask for advice.

RIVERWIDOW · 01-07-2007, 08:26 AM

On the way to the airport in San Diego, we paid $2.59. Here in Castle Rock Colorado, I paid $2.12. But you know I think food here is very expensive compared to home. So I guess it all evens out.

Never knew that. Thanks for the heads up. I remember as a kid, putting leaded fuel in my moped and wondering what "unleaded" was. That was also back when it was about $.80/gallon.

Ahh, the good ol' days...

I remember using leaded for scooters and mopeds.

As far as the higher altitudes go - b/c the air is thinner the engines produce less hp and tq than they would at sea level.

The slide continues. Let's hope the warm weather keeps up, especially in the NE.

Quote:

LONDON - Oil prices fell about $2 a barrel Tuesday to their lowest levels in 18 months in a market expecting more mild weather and rising inventories in the United States.

Temperatures in the U.S. Northeast have been above normal this winter, curbing demand for heating fuels in the world’s largest heating oil market.

Market watchers are also looking for a rise in U.S. petroleum inventories in this week’s government report.

Light, sweet crude for February delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange dropped $2.04 to $54.05 a barrel in electronic trading by afternoon in Europe. The front-month contract last closed below $54 a barrel in June 2005.

February Brent crude at London’s ICE Futures exchange fell as much as $1.96 to $53.64 a barrel.

Traders said a break through key support levels triggered a wave of sell orders.

The Nymex oil contract slipped 22 cents to settle at $56.09 a barrel Monday after falling nearly 8 percent last week.

Monday’s session was volatile, however, as prices rose as high as $57.72 on reports that OPEC oil ministers are considering another cut in output, and worries that a dispute between Russia and Belarus could result in energy shortages in parts of Europe.

The halt to the flow of Russian oil through Belarus had supported prices Monday, but ample supplies in Germany, Poland and Ukraine were expected to keep refineries running.

Nigeria’s oil minister Edmund Daukoru discouraged talk of any immediate action to support prices by OPEC, which recently resolved to cut output by 1.7 million barrels per day.

“Let’s implement the 1.7 million fully then we’ll see if there’s a need for additional cuts,” Daukoru told Dow Jones Newswires.

If OPEC announced another production cut — on top of the 1.2 million barrel-a-day reduction that began in November, and the 500,000 barrel-a-day cut set to begin Feb. 1 — analysts say prices would likely rise. Still, OPEC’s previous cuts haven’t been able to keep crude prices above $60 a barrel for long, largely because many traders doubt that the cuts are fully enforced.

Forecasters expect temperatures in the U.S. Northeast to drop to normal levels over the next couple of weeks.

But heating oil futures fell more than half a cent to $1.5498 a gallon on Tuesday while natural gas rose 6.2 cents to $6.440 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect U.S. petroleum inventories to rise in government data to be released Wednesday by the U.S. Energy Department. Crude inventories were expected to climb an average of 820,000 barrels, the survey showed.

Crude stocks normally fall this time of year, but with imports rebounding from a recent slump, inventories are likely to rise, said analyst Phil Flynn of Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago.

Petroleum product stocks are expected to increase for the fourth straight week. Distillate stocks, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, are seen rising by an average of 1.9 million barrels while gasoline stocks are projected to increase by 2.5 million barrels.
