    super-NSS: CHEAP GAS!

    so last night, i was driving home and at the gas station around the corner from me, gas was 99 cents (well, 99.9, but you know what i mean). i was so hyped. filled my car as full as it would go (fortunately, my tank was mostly empty so i could take full advantage of the low low low prices).
    i don't think i've paid that little for gas since the summer of 1998, or possibly january of 1999 (since i'm a nerd and keep all my receipts, i could go back through and figure it out, but i have slightly better things to do w/ my time).
    anyway, it's just awesome it's so cheap! are the rest of you finding cheap gas, or is it just a detroit thing?

    I have been able to find gas for 85.9 cents/gallon in the Cincinnati area. On average, it's probably been below a dollar for a month or two now.

    i didn't think about it as i was posting, but michigan has significantly higher fuel taxes than some other states. i know that when i go through ohio it usually is at least 10 cents/gallon less.
    85.9/gallon is just awesome. almost enough to make me want to visit cincinnati

    yeah, by my house in the bay area it's 1.29 (at best) and more like 1.45 in most areas. but about 3 hours from here at my GF's house in Fresno, it's 0.85. sux.

    Ya it's in the high 80's and low 90s in Texas. It's a great relief man, especially driving around during christmas vacation.

    unfortunately gas prices will be going up again soon, since OPEC is going to try to "stabilize prices"

    hehehehe Funny story

    It is $1.19 here in western Kansas. (Well, at least, in MY stinkin town.) On the way home from OK yesterday, we stopped 2ce to fill up in towns where the gas was $.94! We have half a tank, rather than almost empty like it would have been had we not stopped. Hopefully it will last us until gas goes down a little more after New Years. (Oh, and side note - Our car is great to travel with! Got us 32 mpg on the way there!)

    Most places here are @ 1.13 but some are 1.09... It sucked though, I went to the coast the other day and they had gas for 1.04...?!?! Usually gas at the coast is way more than in salem... go figure
