Give it a few weeks and it should start rising again. Oh say about November 8th.

What? It's just historical. Gas prices generally bottom out the first week of November. Check the charts

Paid 2.11 in allentown just the other day. Saw 2.09 a few hours later just over the jersey border on rt.22.
Will I ever pay what I paid when I first got my licence? 0.83? I'd even settle for 0.99. I would just like one more chance to fill my tank for under $20.

Get a more fuel efficient car. I filled up my Hyundai Accent for $20 this morning. ~40 mpg, ~340 mi a tank. Not a great ride by any stretch of the imagination- just good, basic transportation. The Honda Civic I used to have could also be filled for ~$20 at today's prices. (They both claim tank sizes of 11.9 gal, but realisitcally it's more like 9.8 ).

I looked at the charts and it looked like the low point is december/january not nov 8. The price certainly falls throughout november and doesn't rise the second week. Also what would be the effect your pointing out for 2005. That would be a big election year?

Very hard to pull off faux innocence in text. :dunce: I am not a conspiracy geek. Gasoline prices fluctuate due to standard market pressures. Early November is when demand is at it's nadir before the holiday travel season, which coincides with an event that shall not be named. As for prior years prices by week, it's a link on that page:

Here's an interesting article about how speculation in the commodities market caused the drop in prices.

And you're in Joisey, right? So that $1.99 is for full serve?

THAT is a very good point......
Just remembering back to the day when I worked for a company that paid for my gas. It was by CC, so I always went to a full serve. Livin' LARGE!!!!

Agreed! Fortunetly, I don't work at the gas station!
I's just sleep there.
