$ 1.81 a gallon at the pump/Quick Trip - 7th St and Butler.
How long, I can't remember, someone said 6 or 7 yrs, it feels more like 16-20yrs to me. In the '90's I could drive a Bronco 351/5.8 V8 ,1000 miles, Denver to Phx, much cheaper than a plane flight.
There is an old station that closed that I drive by regularly. It's prices sign is left and it's fenced off, the sign reads $1.89 for 89octante...I thought we'd never see that again.
Drill baby drill!

Huzzah!

What is a octante?

Drilling here is slowing down. No new wells are being built. The plummeting price of oil and natural gas is making the process unprofitable in the US.

Wonder if the earthquakes will slow down in Oklahoma and Kansas now?

Still over 2.40 here in Pa, thanks to some infrastructure taxes put on gas that were just passed this year
Oh well.....guess it's better than our bridges falling down (and in all honesty it seems like they are doing a lot of work on our infrastructure ATM. )

Filled my 4Runner for $1.569/gallon in Cedar Park, TX yesterday.

It has been speculated that middle east suppliers would drop price to make fracking too expensive then jack up the price when those companies dissolved. :noid

I remember complaining about 1.90 gas around the iraq war invasion. so 01-03, by 06 i remember paying over 4$, not that the two were related. :bolt:

Petroleum atm is slowing some in production with S America and M East continuing to produce, as they have few other commodities worth as much export wise...Natural gas, price holding strong, energy co.'s involved in both, doing just fine.

Filled up my Jeep yesterday for $1.79 and got it full for under $30 for the first time ever. Used to cost over $60 to put a full tank from empty.
Of course today the price dropped again just cause I filled up last night :noid

Still $1.569/gallon when I filled my Corolla this morning. $16 and change for a full tank of gas. 4Runner was under $30 for the full tank.

So you're a Toyota guy I guess? :D

Saw gas in Tomball Texas on the news last night $1.49 a gallon.

Oil will continue to drop in price. Of course with OPEC keeping prices down,
it'll give reasons for states to increase gas taxes.

Only auto company that hasn't screwed me with a bad product so far. Haven't given Honda, Subaru or Kia a shot yet.

moved from Pittsburgh to Philly a week and a half ago...
It was 2.67 on the west side and 2.20-2.30 over here. It's already down to 2.17 since I have gotten here and has dropped .04 in last two days.
-
Saw it at $ 1.73 in a good part of town, ironically continuing on through a bad part it was as high as $ 1.99; must be more to that.

Very durable cars but I don't like driving them (anymore). My first two cars were Toyotas - and they withstood an unimaginable amount of beating. Everything from burnouts with the puny 1.3 liter engine to 4 wheel slides and handbrake turns on tarmac. And the only service I gave them was to add oil when the black goo on the stick started dropping lol.
My first Toyota was pre owned by an old farmer. When I bought it it had a top speed of 90km/h (53mph). It just didn't go any faster pedal to the metal. By the time I had driven it 2 months the car did already 160km/h to the clock on a new driver 80 limit. :D

I had an 86 Toyota Corolla and a Front End Loader rolled down a hill where I was parked at work (park brake failed) and smashed the left rear trunk and quarter panel. Drove it another year after I cut out the damage and welded in parts from a junk yard then sold it.
Nothing bad to say about Toyota except the "silent recalls". :noid

I find Toyotas to be long on reliability/durability, but a bit short on quality. Cheap plastics and quick-fix solutions. I owned a 2nd gen 4-runner back in the '90s. The shoulder sash guide of the rear seat belts were mounted by bolting them through the roof. The bolt heads were literally protruding out of the top of the car. I kid you not. Durable? Sure, but pretty it was not.

Who remembers the Top Gear Toyota Hilux they tried to destroy by crashing it, smashing it with a wrecking ball, dropping it from a crane, sinking it in a lake, burning it and it still started after some quick service?

Isn't that what all Hilux' look like?

Family has/had 6; 2RAVs, 2Camrys, 1 4Runr, 1Tacoma. Seat belts in some way and their retrieve all have had issues. Small complaint for nothing else, except one thing on the first Camry, engine oil seals; blue smoke...

Dropped another .05 cents today
