Pandemic gas price check
- Thread starter nihilence

Yep, I saw that price yesterday. I think the last time it was below $2 was in 2004-05.
$1.76 in Little Rock. If this keeps up I'm going to have the 99 cent gas prices of my childhood.
Saw some $1.49 in Texas yesterday. That's down a good twenty cents from a little over a week ago.

The gas station I usually go to is $2.19/gal for regular, but there's a bunch around me (Massachusetts) less than $2/gallon. BJs and Costco are like $1.50ish but I'm sure that's just members only pricing, which I'm not a member of either.
Still, $2.19 is damn cheap, and I haven't seen gas prices break $2 since back during the recession and economic collapse. I remember in 2007, gas prices spiked at like $4.60 or something around me, and then I started dating this girl who lived like 45mins away and I was pissed because gas was ridiculous, but the economy fell out while we were dating and I remember filling up in New Hampshire for $1.69/gallon once. This was also back around when Newt Gingrich was arguing that he was going to put a price ceiling on gas of $2.50/gallon, and that was like his big presidential issue ... and then the economy collapsed, as did his presidency. Which goes to show, don't run a presidential campaign based on commodity prices.
Now to show how old I am, back when I got my license, gas was $0.92/gallon. I remember when it first broke $1/gallon and I was like "Fuck man, these oil cartels are squeezing us!"

I've seen as low as $1.41 here in San Antonio. Not bad. I can fill up for $15 roughly. Not looking forward to prices surging as soon as ordinances are lifted.
When is it considered price gouging? I live in a town that is charging 40 cents/gallon more than the town 2 miles over.
Still $2.35 here. I've only used two gallons of gas in the past three weeks, though, so not terribly relevant.
Gas was .99/gallon two weeks ago in Oklahoma. Now it's up to like 1.59. Still, I've never filled up my car for less than $20.00 so this is a weird feeling.
Diesel is like $626 Chilean pesos or $0.752 USD per Liter.
My dad says he doesn't remember the last time diesel was so cheap.

Gas right now is 3.14 US dollars if I make the conversion. Which is an insane amount when you take into account that I live in the Dominican republic a 3rd wolrd country where Minimum wage is like 10 times less of what someone in the US makes. Before Corona gas was 4.24.
That the reason why Sonatas are so popular here cause the use LPI engines.

It hardly even matters. I've burned less than a quarter tank in a month and I'd usually have gone through 2 24galon tanks in that timeframe. For what it's worth its like 1.80 in the twin cities metro.
hey, it's finally under 2 dollars here. Prices seem to range from $1.95 to $2.05, but most are $1.95 to $1.99.
For what it's worth, down to $2.29 a gallon north of Seattle at a Costco. Doesn't really matter much to me given I haven't needed to get gas in weeks and won't any time soon.

About $0.70/L in my city in Canada. That is the cheapest I have seen it since I was a little kid.
1.20€
*per litre in Berlin
This super low as I remember paying up to 1.80€. Before corona it was in the 1.30 - 1.40€ range most days (E5 / 95 octane).
