If gas ever gets back down to $1.34, tell me. I'll stock up!

1.21... was gas ever that low!?! =P

edit - a week or two ago in Providence... a local radio station 92 pro FM held a thing where they named a random gas station in providence that they were at and the first 92 people could get up to 92 gallons of gas at .92!!!!! no joke either =X to bad it was a one time thing =P

being on team 25, i could have one of two reactions. if it were $0.25 a gallon i would be excited (though not terribly, because i don't even have a license yet anyway). if it was $25.00 a gallon i would panic :ahh:

Gas hasn't been 45 cents/gal since probably the late 30s or early 40s :p

Why do you buy 93 octane? The only reason to have it is if your engine starts pinging from pre-ignition. Cause 93 octane combusts ata higher temperature than a lower octane gas. Almost all cars will run fine, without any problems or better gas mileage with 87 octane gas.

Whoa guys.. $0.01/gallon! Cah-razy..
I remember a radio station about a little less than a year ago did a promotion thing and had gas stations calling in to bid the lowest price on gas and the radio station would come out to that station for a day and buy gas for the first certain number of people. And two gas stations got into a live vocal battle until a station finally got down to $0.01. So it was that low at a gas station for a day. If only a radio station could do a similar promotion now.

I hope it doesn't reach 836!!!! I think i will start to ride the bus to school... It may not look cool but it is much cheaper.
And the worse part, I drive a gas hog. A 1997 Ford Explore, i also sometimes drive a 2004 Jeep Liberty and that also likes to drink gas at a rapid rate.

I just got home from a short trip to the Wood Works Site at Knoebels, and coming across Rt 487 between Benton and Bloomsburg gas is only $1.87!!! The place was packed, it was amazing, people from all over were pulling in. So any of you out there in that general area or may be traveling through there, stop in its about 30 to 35 cents cheaper than the rest of the area.

I just found this story from a Minnesota based Gas Station Company and would like to share. Any thoughts?

That is ridiculous. Apparently senators are getting donations from gas stations.

This was with my 1968 Mustang. Anything less than 92-93 octane and the 289 does start to ping. I don't drive this car much (only a little over 400 miles last year), and only to car shows and such. The gas prices won't affect me to much with this vehicle. I also find I can't run anything below 89 octane in my 1987 Caprice with a 307. If I put 87 octane in that it doesn't want to shut off. You turn the key off and the motor diesels. My everyday (commuter) car and the one I put almost 20,000 miles a year on is my 4 cylinder 1997 Camry and that runs excellent on 87 octane and that's all I ever put in it.
When I used to drive the Caprice everyday I went through $90 a week in gas and that was 3 years ago when prices were much cheaper. I don't want to think what it would cost now! :ahh:
