What's the price of gas where you live?

I saw it for $1.99 tonight on our way to downtown Rochester to look at the city's downtown Christmas lights. I will have to take a picture of it.

Lowest is $2.49 a gallon for 87 by me. But that's the cheapo shit. BP, Shell, Sunoco, Hess all float around $2.69-$2.81 a gallon.

The drop in price is supposedly because of OPEC lowering prices, from oil being drilled out of North Dakota. I'm digging up more info on it.

$1.78 for cash, $1.86 for credit at the Sunoco near my dad's house. Saw it for $1.80 cash and credit at the Admiral station near the old AC Spark Plug plant.

I saw it for $1.589 near my dad's place this weekend.



Ran across this interesting fact today.



Using the Consumer Price Index calculator ( http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=0.35&year1=1968&year2=2014 ), if the price of regular gasoline was .35 cents per gallon in 1968, today's price for regular gasoline should be $2.38. Given that calculation, gasoline at $2.20 per gallon is equivalent to .32 cents per gallon. So I guess we shouldn't complain. Just hope it keeps on dropping!

Beats hell out of me. It was not that long ago we here the highest in the lower 48 when a couple of Midwest oil refineries were shutdown at the same time and they had to ship refined oil/gas from other parts of the country. Other parts of the country were paying $3.40 a gallon and we were over $4.25.



I picked the kid up from school today. It was back up to $1.999 - $2.089 near my house. My dad's neighborhood always seems to be the cheapest in the county. No idea why.

I went to the gym this morning, gas is back up to around $2.089 there too. So about a 30-50 cent jump in gas from the weekend.

Some of the joys of living in Michigan my friend. Its always been this crazy, and I can't explain why that it is. I suspect that by Thursday, the price will come down a few pennies a gallon or it will go up a bit more in anticipation of the weekend. Gas prices usually go up near long holiday weekends, so M L King weekend should see a price increase.
