$1.39 here at Sams Club. The downside of cheap gas is the loss of jobs in the energy sector. I don t have much sympathy for big oil, but this is not good for the economy right now. If it gets to a point where it s not worth pumping it out of the ground, a lot of people are going to be unemployed.
Of course, rec 90 non ethanol is still $2.80
The group I have NO sympathy for is the airlines.

$1.99 for reg here in NJ. of course if our wonderful state assemblymen had not raised the TAX by .50 the last 2 years it would probably be much lower... but even still I totally agree that a drop of 2/3 should equal a drop of AT LEAST 1/2 at the pumps... but it hasn't. Not buy a long shot. Isn't it funny that when the price of a barrel of oil goes up the price at the pumps goes up also (usually the same day) ... but when the price drops it can take weeks to reflect it at the pumps. :head:

the station owner fills his tanks with high price gas, the next day gas drops in price, the station owner need to keep his price up till he sells the full tank off,then he can drop the price..... when the price goes up the station owner knows that when he refills his tank he will have to pay the big new price so he must put the price up as fast as possible or he will need to borrow money from the bank to pay for the fill up of his tanks

Every time I see Chris Christy I kick myself in the *** for voting for him ,I thought he was good but turned out to be the worst gov ever. Raising gas prices and you voted for it, I didn't , 101.5 said that it would keep going up under his yes vote, what was up posed to be 21 cents was just the beginning

Yep. First the Dem controlled legislature said they were "entitled" to the gas tax raise because they had not raised it for 10 years. Understand that... they said they were entitled to our money!!!! Then, not only did they raise it by 25 cents a gallon, but they included an additional tax in the bill that raised it another 25 cents a gallon the following year.
Oh, and the proposition that we (NJ Residents) voted on to make all of the additional tax money be used strictly for road infrastructure repairs and not go into the state general fund was somehow changed by the thieves so it goes into the general fund after all, which is really nothing but a slush fund for them and their union buddies. :cen::cen::cen:
