A DECLINE in gas prices..?

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Fri Jun 11, 2004 7:07 pm

I haven't updated them on my site lately..

But I have actually seen a decline in gas prices around here. Some stations have had modest declines of 3-4 cents.. while I saw 1 gas station that has taken a 12 cent dive in the last couple weeks..

Will prices continue to dive.. or are they about to go through another upswing..?

Yup, yup...we talked to one of the station owners today at the place where we trade at all the time, he said he's looking for another 5-8 cents drop in the next coupla days.....better stock up before the oil companies find ANOTHER excuse to raise the prices!

Down at least 4 cents as of now. About $1.82 Took my dad to the post office this afternoon(yes I drove :D ) but was paying attention to the road, not the gas prices. I'll check tomorrow. We're going to fill up the family car before we leave for Florida Sunday Morning.

I haven't noticed much of a decrease. It's been $1.99 for at least 2 weeks, today I filled up at $1.98. Hopefully the decrease continues here!

From a high of $1.99 to $1.89 for regular here. That's not bad, raise it 50 cents, then "give back" 10 cents. Now we're conditioned for another ratcheting up.

Well this is because they raised preduction 2 million barrels a day. And lowered prices per barrel 10% from the record highs. My gas prices have droped from a high of $2.05 for regular unleaded to my lowest in over 3 months at $1.78 cents per gallon. This is over the last week and a half by the way.

If I had to guess, I would say yes. This time of year is the peak travel season which means higher demand. July 4th isn't that far off either.

See, Helen? I just knew you'd regain your optimism by morning. :) :wink:

(Unless you're in the oil business, then that would be pessimism. :) )
