Lucky Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 glutes could have found that old thread, but my search did not. It was a million pages long but does provide some historical perspective. Anyway, it's a Christmas gift from the Middle east. My local Costco is offering regular at $3.27.9, and I am pleased. Never thought I would say that! It's down a good 40 cents rather quickly. + glutes 1
Luv2play Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 When I was spending my winters in Florida at the turn of the century (God how old does that make you feel), I was spending $1.27 for premium gas for my car (which requires it) in North Miami. Now admittedly, in SOBE the price was about $1.36 but in places likw Georgia it was so much less, just over $1.00 But then oil was well under $30 a barrel then. How times have changed! The question to ask is, has your income gone up 300% like the price of gasoline?
KMEM Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 2.89 or less for regular in MEM. Best regards, KMEM

Lookin Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Here's the old thread, started a decade ago by Talvin DiMachio. http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif I regret not hiring him before he retired, and I regret not buying more gas when it was under two bucks in San Francisco. http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif And 89¢ in Virginia! Yikes!!

Of course Glutes would have found it...for him that would have been a 'No Brainer'.....word on the street is that he is laying low sorta flying stealth up in SF....but before you know it you will hear those famous words "I'm back!!!!"

It's 3.29 in my neighborhood in North Carolina, but there are places in town that are probably 5 cents cheaper. (And I just realized there's no 'cent' sign on my keyboard!)

Yikes!! Well here in Virginia now, we just crossed the magic $3.00 barrier. Here in Richmond, effective yesterday, we are now at $2.99. Never thought I'd be so happy to see it at $2.99 but it was sure nice to see now.
OneFinger Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 When I left my 2nd home in Portland this week the price was about $3.45 / gallon. Gas prices at my "other" home in Salt Lake City are $2.95 / gallon. One of my first jobs as a teenager was selling gas. The price was 25 cents / gallon for credit cards and 20 cents / gallon for cash. And, that was full service where we'd clean the windows, check the oil, fluff the tires, and pump the gas. I think I still have the black bow tie they made us wear and the funny little hat with the station's name on it.
+ deej Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Hang on to the tie and the hat. Sounds like a good stripper costume! I was stunned to find $3.59 in Simi Valley, CA last week. But I'm glad to see it that low!
+ azdr0710 Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 about 2.97 at the local Costco....Tucson is, usually, the lowest in the nation, usually.....Memphis seems lower nowadays, apparently
KMEM Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 about 2.97 at the local Costco....Tucson is, usually, the lowest in the nation, usually.....Memphis seems lower nowadays, apparently MEM has a chance of being near the lowest. We have river barges (cheap transport) and a local refinery. The local taxes (TN and MEM) have a good deal to do with it. Folks don't often realize (or care) that transporting a gallon of gas increases the cost. The point being the further one is from the refinery or delivery point, the more costly the fuel (usually). Best regards, KMEM
Njbaseballjock Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Finally saw the price go under $3.00 yesterday in my area in NNJ. Regular paid in cash was $2.99.
OneFinger Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Hang on to the tie and the hat. Sounds like a good stripper costume! Believe me, at my age and body situation, you don't want to see me as a stripper. But, I can think of a couple of guys I'd like to see wearing only the bow tie and hat.
+ deej Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 But, I can think of a couple of guys I'd like to see wearing only the bow tie and hat. Works for me. Auditions in FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.....
leigh.bess.toad Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 WTF???? Yesterday, I paid $2.99 for gas. I was driving by the same stations today, it was at $3.15. Sixteen cents increase in one day?? WTF???
+ azdr0710 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 speculating on future gas prices seems to drive much of current gasoline prices..... and why is this speculation thing even an "investment" vehicle?.....
Lucky Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 I should never have started this thread! Gas prices immediately went up 8 cents a gallon at my local pump.

JoeyBryant Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I've seen 2.94, and of course Texas and Wyoming has some of the cheapest with their refineries all over the place. But hell, some people make it seem that because gas is falling; escorts are supposed to follow in suit.
+ Axiom2001 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 As of December 27, 2011, in the Monterey, CA area and other parts of California, I'm having to pay upwards to $3.88 for premium petro. Damn, I wish the prices would go down as low as $2.50 per gallon. I would be spending a fortune if i were still commuting to work!
Tommygunzz Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 We were driving home from a party on Monday night, 12/26, and I noticed gas was $2.89. When I pulled in the next morning, it had jumped to $3.09. We are in a suburb of Dallas. WTF! That's crazy.
leigh.bess.toad Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 As I was driving into work this morning, the gas at the station just outside the office park was $3.15. Today when I left it was $3.09. These swings are positively nuts.
