The average price of gasoline has fallen by more than half from its highest level. I don't think this has ever happened before.
U.S. Retail Gasoline Prices
7/7/2008 $411.4
9/15/2008 $383.5
11/24/2008 $189.2
The price fell 54% from its high. Even more amazing, it fell 51% in just the past ten weeks!

Re: Holy cow!
And what's funny is we were paying a lot more than $3.83 on 9/15, but a lot less than $1.89 on 11/24....jarnon wrote:The average price of gasoline has fallen by more than half from its highest level. I don't think this has ever happened before.

I still don't understand how gas prices work on the local level, and I don't think any of the variables I always here about actually factor into it at all....

I know. I paid $1.57 at the Lilac Ave. station last Wednesday, and the very next day it dropped to $1.49....
It's still $1.65 over here, and that alone is odd in that we're hardly ever below the national avarage on this side....

Probably due to paying extra security because of the high crime rate.

$1.679 in Jersey City.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

From the web
No Sonny Perdue did not say that.
Please join me in support for poor, beleaguered gas station owners, the victims of unconscionable price gouging by ruthless consumers who are taking advantage of market conditions to reduce their demand for gasoline, driving down the price by nearly $2 per gallon over the last four months. Fortunately, governments are swinging into action. Georgia governor Sonny Perdue issued this statement: “The financial crisis has disrupted the consumption of gasoline, which will have an effect on prices. However, we expect the prices that Georgian gasoline station owners receive at the pump to be in line with changes in consumers’ incomes and the prices of substitutes and complements. We will not tolerate consumers taking advantage of Georgian business owners during a time of emergency.”

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
