How much is gas in your area? 1.84 for regular gas here. Feels like I'm almost stealing it when I fill up these days, heard rumor that there was a gas war in Houghton , Michigan low as .47 cents a gallon???????? What is it in your area?

Prices dropped to as low as 1.40 here in Greenville SC.

With the price of oil finally correcting back to pre-Enron days and wild speculation hopefully it will stay low.

On the radio they talk about global demand being down, but prices were on the incline when gas futures were opened to the general populace (Via Enron debacle) so that we started to get the double whammy of oil futures going up and then gas futures going up and thus we had the ridiculous rise in prices for a decade as more speculators drove the prices up. In 1999 gas was .99/gal here in SC then when Katrina hit it went all the way to $3/gal as the 'supplies' were down. It corrected to $1.35 or so but never fell back to true pre-Katrina levels before we started seeing regular bumps in price every couple of months to the $2 then $3 prices (in SC) of 2011/2013.

The US economy will get a boost with these lower prices because oil is not a major component of our GDP like consumer spending. However it will take a while for the gas futures to catch up to the oversupply of oil, so we should see gas get even closer to 2001 levels. Driving a big SUV with a 44gal tank I'm pretty happy that I can fill up for less than the 140 it was costing me a couple years ago. That's money I can put into the economy instead of some gas investor/oil company profit portfolio.
