Has the price at the pump gone down in your area?

#1 Postby cycloneye » Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:13 pm

In Puerto Rico,the price at the pump has gone down to 2.40 a gallon,a decrease from almost 3.00 a gallon that was by early August.Thanks to the Crude Oil price going downward in recent weeks due in part because of a quiet hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico.This is good news for all.Let's see how much this drop of the prices last.

I have heard they are going to build a new refinery in La. as well and that will also help keep prices lower.

Local prices here at some stations have decreased, albeit very slightly and locally. Still over $2.00 at several stations a bit.

We gassed up this morning at a Racetrack that had it for 2.24 a gallon for the regular unleaded. Hope fully by this weekend we may see it go down to 2.00 a gallon.

A nearby station dropped to $1.97 earlier this week while many stations were still running around $2.19, and a couple of the local news stations picked up on it, and did an evening, morning, and another evening report from there, during which they dropped to $1.92! Needless to say, they were losing money for each gallon of gas, but it certainly brought in the people! Now the entire area (in town and up through about a 20 min drive towards DC) is around $2.03 or so, which is down from the $2.80s and $2.90s of a month ago.

Who woulda thought . . .
