Gas Prices. Did this happen in your area?

Question

As I was doing my morning run I noticed that every gas station I passed that the prices went down. Something that I haven't seen in ages. Yesterday here in Iowa City, Iowa it was $3.99 a gallon this morning it was $3.89 a gallon thats a whole ten cents. Did this happen to anywhere else or just here.?

Answer 1

I passed one store that was $3.84 then one closer to home is $3.99. I don't think there should be such differences. There's something not right there. They should all be about the same price. It's way too high now.

Answer 2

Here in north Texas that happens all the time. There are regulations prohibiting too much of that however, it is illegal for a gas station to change the price more than once in a 24 hour time period. So it shouldn't happen too much.

Answer 3

According to my wife, it happened yesterday in the Detroit area too.

Answer 4

i was actually able to find gas for $3.83 yesterday...a real bargain but at the exxon up the the street, it was $3.94..we all know exxon doesnt make enough profit...but yes, has dropped..in my area tho...gas flucuates almost daily and as much as by 15 cents

Answer 5

Ours never went above 3.79 but yes it is down.  You will see it fluctuate more erratic around the holiday (Labor Day) and in the fall.
