A fair price is a price that doesn’t make me feel I just got kicked in the gut. Is that scientific enough for you?

Yup, ours has gone up too. 2 weeks ago I paid $1.78 (the lowest in several years) and when I filled up yesterday it was $1.98. I sure hope they don't continue to go back up. The lower prices helped a lot of folks.

Ours got down to about 2.09 and back to 2.15 now.

I have never paid $4 a gallon.

It's up here too - about 20 cents.

I'm not happy about that....higher gas makes MY bills go UP!

The lowest I paid was $2.19. Something happened between the last meltdown in 2008 and now. Back then it got down to $1.69 with oil about the same price it is today.

same here in NYC lowest for regular was 2.19 about 2 weeks ago

Ours was down to $1.719 a week or two ago, but I filled up this morning, and it was $1.859. By the looks of this thread, I'd better go fill up both cars tomorrow!

But I'm like many posters above and live in an energy producing area. We like the cheap fuel... until our neighbors start getting laid off from their jobs and the economy takes a big hit. I'd like to see oil stabilize at $75-$80/b. That's enough to keep most oil rigs running and prevent recession in the oil producing states.

The difference is much of the increased supply cost more to produce. its lie at one time it was a matter of drilling holes in the ground. Those are likely to go first espeically hard it will be were pipeline means getting it down stream cost more.

SAY! You wouldn't think it is because we have a gas refinery strike, would ya?

[Larry Caldwell]

Refinery workers are on strike, production is down.
