Nope. The cheapest close to me is $3.01, I think.

Donald Trump said a few weeks ago he wouldn't be surprised if oil prices dropped to $25 per barrel. At the rate it's dropping ($10 today) he may be right.

Amazing that oil prices have one down almost 50% from it's highs but gas prices haven't. I know about refining, supply costs, etc. but the prices should be under $3 everywhere.

Too bad they're out of gas. I was about ready to burn up some of the $3 plus gas so I could go over there and get some.

Do they give rain checks?

Gah. It's still 3.09 at most places in Cedar Park. Wonder why we're not dropping as quickly as everywhere else seems to be?

2.97 at the QuikTrip in North Richland Hills. And I think it was 2.95 at the Kroger. You get another .03 off with your Kroger card there too.

it'll be so nice if gas gets back down to reasonable levels of just 2 years ago. I know we'll never see the sub 1 dollar gas again, but this 2.50+ is still absolutely ridiculous

I am kinda out of the loop on gas prices, I ride my motorcycle everywhere, so ten bucks will get me to work for a week and a half,


Why is oil falling so quickly, did we strike some somewhere?

HUSH!!! Don't ginx this! If gas prices start to go up again I am holding you personally responsible...
