its actually a little ridiculous at this point. I average around 1.55 for regular unleaded. Then I am able to purchase $50 gas cards from the local grocer for $40 if you are a frequent shopper which i am. then a competing grocer opened and offerd an additional $10 coupon, so for the last few weeks I have been buying $50 gas cards for Shell, BP or Exxon/Mobil for $30. Which is a 40% reduction so I am paying the equivalent of around .93-.95 per gallon. I have a huge stash of the prepaid cards at this point. Honestly, it is quite ridiculous to be paying so little for gasoline.Quote:

I'm already thinking about another AWD Astro van instead of moving to something more efficient like a Transit Connect for my next camper van.Quote:

I never understood that one either. Ive always driven half ton trucks regardless. But fuel never factored in. I hope people get scorched so I can score a lightly used pre-owned 2015 truck with low miles when gas creeps back up.Quote:

CAFE standard will prevent long term gas guzzler consumption. Get em while you can.
Still paying $1.10 per litre CDN. That's like $4.40 per Gallon. People getting shafted over here.
How much do you pay in taxes north of the wall?
In BC outside of Vancouver and Victoria areas, 21.17 cents, (14.50 in various gas taxes, and 6.67 in carbon tax). Then add on 10cents Fed excise tax and 5%GST on top of everything.
And we buy our fuel in USD, so add in the 30% loss of The CAD.
Still over $3/gal in California. Makes no sense. Worst of all, Gov. Brown is pushing for HIGHER gas taxes! Pisses me off every time I leave the state and come back. Ignorance is bliss...
While I am enjoying every cent I am saving right now, I am waiting for the used truck market to finally implode when gas spikes back up. The truck market here has been nutso for a while now.Quote:

If I have it right, current price is $1.06CAD/litre, which equals $3.09USD/gallon at a $1.30 CAD/USD exchange
Soooo is that like a large?
gas should continue going down, crude can't catch a date with a buyer to save it from the 20s. So likely cheaper gas. Beyond that you have seasonal downturn with relatively lower demand. Kind of a perfect storm for cheaper gas prices. Should reverse by summer unless crude can't find support in the 20s, then all bets are off.
Looong way to go before we get to summer gas (you know this as well as anyone)
1.99 at the Hess in Southie.
Over $2.00 a gallon in southwestern Utah. Being constantly raped is the price you have to pay to live in paradise.
And ironically, airlines as a whole decided to hike up their prices.
I don't get it. When fuel went up, businesses had to raise the price of products across the board (understandably). But now that fuel prices are way, way, way back down, we're still seeing (now seemingly bogus) "fuel surcharges", and the prices of goods and services haven't gone back down accordingly whatsoever. Grrrrrrr.
Under 2$ here in slc valley. Costco was $1.89 the other day. I've heard some locations across the US will be close to 1$ gallon soon. Prices not seen since late 90s
OPEC is dead. Soo much surplus.
just going to leave this here. Not sure what reality formed the opinion above, but I just flew back east and it was well under $1k round trip for me and the gf. On delta, direct.Quote:

Bob Harrell of Harrell Associates LLC, which tracks about 300 big domestic routes from the three largest airlines, estimates the lowest leisure fares in late December were down 24% on average from a year ago, with prices from Chicago down 54%, Philadelphia down 48%, and Dallas down 40%.
It doesn't seem like Southwest's fares have come down. In the past they've really hedged on fuel and it's paid off for them bigtime but I think maybe they're on nthe hook for some expensive fuel now.
I just booked a roundtrip to slc on Delta and first class was cheaper than Southwest Anytime fares. It was a heavily discounted fare and only that flight was at that price, but hey I booked it.
You mind saying when?Quote:

Overall declines for much of 2015 were smaller, but still significant. A December study of most North American airlines found that North American economy-class ticket prices fell 5% through the first 10 months of 2015 over the year-ago period.
The outbound prices for President's Day weekend are retarded. This will be the first time that I've had to fly from BWI to SLC with a stop, and it was still $250 one way on the cheapest "wanna get away" price.. on Thursday, not Friday. Glad I bought when I did a few weeks ago, because that ticket is now "unavailable" and the "fly Anytime" price is almost $550. One way. At least I have a non-stop flight back.Quote:

Yeah Delta BWI-SLC direct 7:30 AM Wed and return I think like 9:50 AM Sun. I only looked at this week, not sure if they have this fare other weeks, but this week the fare is pretty cheap, Like $360 R/TQuote:

Damn, that's sweet. Delta says $1100 now.
Isn't BC doing the "carbon credit" thing that CA followed? If so, the fact that those are the only two places in North America selling gas >$3/gal should tell you all you need to know about what a scam that is.Quote:

Who do you call to change a flat tire on that? AAA or the Army reserve?
I think the airfare model is also heavily dependant on rich people from the east coast willing to pay top dollar since the east coast has sucked for skiing and the west has been getting pounded. Last winter fares to SLC were much cheaper but burlington VT was nuts. This year its the opposite. You DC to Boston I 95 city boy trust funders have the means to seek out the best turns on the continent. At least from the airlines perspective. If fuel was free no one would have chosen Stowe over Deer Valley this past Christmas. Your Bogner's would have been too muddy in VT this year.Quote:
