So is this a wee bit of good news for us or what? Guess only time will tell. But in the mean time check out this story....

Oil prices tumble in biggest weekly drop ever

I saw that oil fell this past week but I still believe people need to be planning for the future as this is just a momentary delay. One big hurricane or war with Iran and we are at $5.00 the next morning. Further the expected rise in demand worldwide can't be matched by more drilling so well pinch your pennies now but now is the time to start considering smarter individual solutions to the gas price issue.

Was in Dousman yesterday and the BP there was $4.43 a gal

I'm thinking to myself there is no way I'm paying that as I'm looking at the light up fuel tank on the dash cuz I need gas now.....

I drove over to Oconomowoc and the Kwik Trip there (6 miles down the road) was $3.99...........they were crazy there with people too. Seems everyone from around the area was getting gas there.

You would think that with the price of a barrel of oil around $92 today we would be seeing gas prices around $3.35.
What is in a barrel of oil??

Wow to have $3.35 again..and then I got to thinking..hey, remember when it wasn't that long ago that it was $3.35 and we thought it was high?

Today I noticed the $4.19 from the last few days has gone down again to $3.99 around our city so that was good at least.

Isn't it amazing that the price soars instantly, but to bring it back down, it never seems to happen that fast.

Didn't look thru the whole thread but does anyone use GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada ? You can use it to check gas prices anywhere in the nation and it's user updated.

The really sad part about the high gas prices is there's no real shortage. Most gas hikes are the result of gouging and you'll hear excuses about "Hurrican Ike" or similar to justify it. Lies, all lies, I tell you!

Nope. Dont use gas buddy cuz I have 1 gas station to choose from out here, unless I'm out driving to Palmyra...then my options go up to 2.

If I'm heading to Jefferson my options go to 2...since the 3rd gas station in Jefferson was destroyed by the June floods.

If I'm heading into Helenville, then I sill have only 1 choice....

I been using gasbuddy for quite some time, but it's only useful to me when i travel away from home, since my local stations tend to get updated once a week or so for the most part.

We went up to $4.15 last weekend & now at $4.11, according to my girl who works at the station by my house we should be at $3.99 by this weekend... how sad, considering the barrel price is at its lowest in a very long time!

Ran into Jefferson last night and they were at $3.89

Think we'll ever see $1 a gallon again?

I think we have a better chance of Wisconsin allowing gay marriage & we already know that's not happening.

We went down to $3.99 last night

I passed a station with 3.89 yesterday. Hopefully they will all come down to that price soon. I will need gas soon...wonder if that station is still at 3.89?.. always see better prices when I either don't have the time to stop, or I don't need any.

CarolsCritterCare · 09-19-2008, 09:17 AM

Helenville was $3.79 on Thursday. It's coming down. I wonder how far

**dgridley** · 09-19-2008, 09:27 PM

I was living in Florida when gas prices first passed $1 a gallon and recall my mom saying she'd have to stop buying gas if it got much higher. Funny how we adjust to this sort of thing.

CarolsCritterCare · 09-20-2008, 11:45 AM

$3.69 at the Mobil Gas Station in Sullivan this morning.

Headed into Oconomowoc to care for critters and passing the Kwik Trip there they were $3.89 but the truck was there leaving gas. Thought for sure they'd have dropped...but they remained at $3.89

Kens Digital Media · 09-20-2008, 12:40 PM

$3.69 for the last two days here in Ashland. There's also a few cars around here that burn veggie oil.

I wish the three car manufacturers in the USA (can't call them the big three anymore) would stop dragging their feet and produce a vehicle that people can afford to drive.

Do you ever notice when the epa sets new guidelines for gas mileage the three car manufacturers come up with about the same mpg.

Electric cars are starting to come out again from Ford and GM, guess what, the best they can do is around 40 miles per charge. Can't they come up with better technology?

Tesla Motors has a car in production that can go over 200 miles per charge, go over 100+ mph and charges in a couple hours.

Is it possible big oil has an influence over the car manufacturers in the USA?!?

Blue Baboon · 09-22-2008, 03:21 PM

I saw $3.39 in Iowa this past weekend, then I had to cross the Mississippi and it was back up to $3.69 or more.

I did see an article yesterday on a car that Ford makes that gets 65 mpg, but for some reason can't be sold here in the US. I didn't read beyond the headline, so I don't know the details.

I've been saying it for a long time. We make everything else better on a car, but the gas mileage is still about the same as it was over 20 or 30 years ago on a car. Why can't they come up with something better? I still think the oil companies and car manufacturers are in cahoots together. If they aren't, than why don't we have something better by now?

$2.99 a gallon reported in Sussex.. how low is gas where you live?

Check www.gasbuddy.com for the most recent reported gas prices.

Latina · 10-13-2008, 11:04 PM

$3.15 here

**dgridley** · 10-13-2008, 11:33 PM

Brother in Virginia Beach, VA reports $2.98 a gallon..

Think we'll break the $2 mark again?

pk · 10-13-2008, 11:34 PM

Depends on where you are in our city. My daughter found it for 2.85, I filled up by my house at 2.89 this morning. Most places I see are 2.99.

Whew...it's about time to get back under 3.00.

Latina · 10-14-2008, 07:29 AM

Nearby towns are seeing 2.99, i been holding off on filling up until it hits under $3 by us... we shall see how long that takes!

pk · 10-14-2008, 07:42 AM

One of the stations I saw at 2.89 yesterday is now 2.99 this morning. Others I saw was also at 2.99 this morning. That was one side of town taking my daughter to school. In a while I will be going in another direction of town and will see if anything changed over on that side.

**CreedFeed** · 10-14-2008, 08:42 AM

$2.85 and $2.89 this morning on the way in to work (southwest side of Milwaukee, near city of Greenfield)
