Article: What did you pay for GAS this week?

**kaveg** · 10-18-2011, 06:19 AM

This morning I paid $3.29 per gallon but got a 3 cents of per gallon with my store card. So I was able to get it down to $3.26 per gallon. I was hopeful when gas here went down to $2.92 per gallon last week, but alas that was a temporary thing.

Still $3.83 here, and that's cheap compared to what it has been a few times over the past year.

In North Texas we had dropped all the way to $2.9999 a couple of months ago ... now it's back up to like $3.30, which is a 10% gain in case you were counting.

I'm in North Texas, too, Plano to be exact and this week the gas station closest to me is at $3.22 per gallon and with my 3 cents off per gallon store discount card, that would be $3.19 of course I every week I hold my breath hoping it continues to go down instead of jumping up again as it usually does on the day I need to fill up.

Haha. I find myself trying to speculate on which day will be best to head for the pumps, and I tend to fill up every time I see it drop a bit whether I need it or not

We are dropping again! That's wonderful news, I think it was $3.19 when I filled up last time. Ed Wallace on the radio said he wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit $4.75 by the end of next summer again.

wow, I guess it's a lot cheaper in other parts of the country. I'm not sure but I think we are pushing upwards to $4 per gallon again. :-( I don't even pay attention anymore, I just bendover and pay for it at the pump.

We have been up and down like an e-ticket ride. Seriously, I think there has been a $.50 per gallon swing in the last 8 weeks.

I'm getting a little tired of the huge swings that we've been seeing in gas prices again.

In DFW we got down to about $2.90 recently, but things are going back up. All of those speculators must be working hard to manipulate the market again.
