    In Connecticut, it's now over $4.00/gal thanks to CT's wonderful (NOT!!!) taxing the crap out of it.

    I remember the gas rationing back in the '70s when $5.00 would get me a full tank in my little powder blue 1972 VW bug!!! Those were the days! Now $5.00 will get you MAYBE a gallon and a squirt or two.

    Are you seeing a decline in gas prices where you are?
    I got gas this a.m. - it was down to $3.53 where I always get it. What a bargain - right???


    ETA: The attendant at the station this a.m. said they are expecting it to drop another 10 cents in time for the 4th weekend. The oil companies must be in cahoots with the resorts and theme parks. They want your attendance there, and not staying home because it's too expensive to travel! Figures - there's always a motive behind it!

    Actually.... When you think about what it takes to mine, transport, refine, transport again and then deliver a gallon of gasoline... We have it pretty good in the US.

    I mean, you pay more for a gallon of milk most places now.

    Also, when the scale of this is considered, there are a lot of companies that make way bigger profit margins. (Google anyone?) I WANT oil companies making good profits. Anybody with a private reitement plan almost certainly has some of their money invested in them.

    ALL of this said... It could be made more inexpesive at the point of delivery. But THAT is a discussion more suited for the DH. LOL

    I think the lowest I've seen is $3.81 but there may also be some stations in the $3.70's range. It's always so much more expensive for everything in CA.

    On my way to work this morning the gas station that was $3.81 is now down to $3.77. I hope that by the time I need to fill up that the prices will have gone down even lower.

    Nope - she wore a brand New Jersey. Haven't you ever heard that old song? You're certainly young enough to remember Perry Como.
    For those that don't know who Perry Como is, then you must be babies.
