i reiterate this wont last long. with the dems in control and knowing the US citizens are conditioned to pay about 3 bucks a gallon, they will tax the fuel which we will pay. But as our president said, "It's for your own good. To ween you off your oil addiction" Boy are we in trouble. PEOPLE ARE FRIGGIN IDIOTS FOR VOTING AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN TICKET! NOW THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE!

I think your wrong about them taxin it more than they already do. They got more to worry bout with the economy in the whole, the Iraq situation, and everything else plauging the nation now. I don't agree with the choice the American people made, but it's done and now it's just time to wait and see what happens. Now can we leave politics out of it and just do what this thread was designed for and report your local gas prices??

I dont know about politics or weather to blame it on Rep's or Dems', but I dont see it staying low like this for long. I could be wrong, and I REALLY hope that I am. I'd like to see it $1.25 or $1.00 even... But knowing what I know, I dont think its going to last.

I was just stating current events with a staunch bias against democratic politics. I can assure you the federal gas tax, which has remained unchanged since 1993, is being considered for a tax hike. Also several state legislatures are tossing around the idea of raising their respective states' fuel tax. No change in today's price.

$1.60 here. Well, 1.59 and 9/10th.. Ever wonder why gas prices are quoted with the 9/10th on the end? I do. I'm about to look that up and i'll report back.

ok i found this information below. I knew it was there for them to get more money..
"What is 9/10 of a cent worth? So the gas companies take an extra 9/10 of a cent for every gallon of gas we buy--what is that actually worth?
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), "prime suppliers" of "motor gasoline" reported sales of 372,833.5 thousand barrels sold in February 2007. Each barrel represents 42 gallons, and to determine the value of 9/10 of a cent for each gallon, we did the following calculation:
372,834 x 1000 x 42 x .009 = $140,931,063
That means that in February 2007, gas companies collected an extra $141 million USD because of their unique pricing practices. Assuming Februrary is a rough average for the year, that's $1.7 billion USD in additional revenue!
What if gas prices were carried out to the 100th of a cent? What if instead of 9/10 of a cent, or .009 of a dollar, gas prices could end in 99/100ths of a cent, or .0099 of a dollar. Statistically, the academics tell us that we wouldn't even flinch at such a miniscule increase in gas prices. Consumers are always looking at the big numbers on the left, so when we look at gas prices it's the $2 or $3 per gallon that we see, not the small change. This small increase spread across the masses can yield huge profits for the gas companies.
Using the same data provided by the EIA, and altering the formula to value our assertion so that each gallon is worth $.0009 dollars more than they already collected, we end up with the following calculation:
372,834 x 1000 x 42 x .0009 = $14,093,106
Again, assuming that February 2007 gas sales represent an average of monthly gas sales for the year, then the annual gain for gas companies would be somewhere near $170 million USD, collectively. If this tweak was applied globally, the total would be even more staggering.
There might be some costs associated with changing the signs, and it is possible that some drivers would reduce consumption out of protest; it seems that these would be negligible when compared to the gains that the gas companies would reap.
The EIA also tells us that the average US consumer uses 500 gallons of auto fuel each year. If the gas companies were to change gas prices to end in 99/100ths of a dollar, the cost to the consumer would be $0.45 USD per year, on average. It may not sound like much, but that's what got us into paying 9/10 of a cent to begin with."
