Most gas stations are below the $3.00/gallon threshold in the Raleigh area. I won't be surprised to see a few of them go below the $2.50/gallon by the weekend.

We seem to have stabilized out at around $2.75. We can live with this.....and the lessons learned.

I don't quite understand that either - perhaps your gasoline tax is high? You probably also have to pump your own gas.
$2.52 for regular in NJ. Our gasoline tax is relatively low.

would do next to anything for prices to drop back to the ~30 a barrel they used to be. I'd love to pay $1.35 per gallon of gas
Wouldn't we all?

I honestly don't think that we'll get that low again. I think we'll be seeing $2.00 plus range from now on. As long as it doesn't go $3.00 plus for a LONG TIME, I'd be satisfied.

Got gas in NJ right over the bridge for $2.50, on the way home the price was $2.45!
Philly I've seen $2.79 as the lowest so far (the robber down the street still won't lower his below $3.00-he's insane!)

That has to be a typo... I don't think it went down a full dollar in one day...

Re: Oil price over $147 for the first time-now below $70
Byram, Mississippi......$2.24.......the wild swings are a concern. 30 cents a gallon difference from one interstate exit to the next seems rather unusual? Prices are swinging widely in a lot of sectors. Notice the restaurant closures? Folks are eating at home. What happened to the 4 cans of veggies for $1.00 sales?
