I filled up my 3rd gen for less than $22

X-AWDriver · 12-02-2008, 10:01 AM

When they said gas prices would drop a bit a few months ago I wasn't expecting anywhere under $2/gal but it keeps going down and this morning I paid $1.42 here in Littleton. (SW Denver)

Man,anything over $3 is going to suck all over again.

id be happy if they stayed around 2 a gallon, but 1.42 is NICE! i doubt it will stay there for long, but i also doubt it will climb to what it was over the summer and the past couple years.

I hope it stays cheap. Just put on a new set of 31" Cooper Discoverer M/T for the winter and they use a little more gas than my old tires.

It's not going to stay cheap.

Summer time, it will be back up to over $3/gallon. The prices have been lowered to get people back on the spending track, since most Americans believe gas prices are what is sinking the economy.

X-AWDriver · 12-02-2008, 11:43 AM

I think most intelligent americans are aware this is just a temporary reprieve.

Actually these prices are being reflected worldwide and demand is way down compared to last year but oil companies will be cutting production in a couple of months which will drive prices back up but anything under $3/gal for a while makes me feel pretty good.

I'm actually going to not mind going on a few road trips and an off road trip over the next month.

**DeathCougar** · 12-02-2008, 12:07 PM

Intelligent American? Isn't that some sort of oxymoron?

This deviation from $4 gas is very nice, especially given the holiday season I agree. Too bad its gotta go back up

And too bad it won't likely be this cheap for race season! Race gas and Diesel are SPENDY!

X-AWDriver · 12-02-2008, 12:27 PM

What octane of race gas and what was it going for last season.

When I was racing I could get 105 for $4.50-5.00 about 3 years ago.

Elton · 12-02-2008, 12:43 PM

about what i spent i remember when it cost 40-45 dollars to fill it

105 unleaded was $8-$10/gallon (price went up over the year at the track), the only place we could legally buy it.

We used the same race gas the crate-engine super stocks used. Truck leaded race fuel was about the same cost for the Outlaw Figure 8 cars

I'm still spending about $2.10/gal here in Del Mar. Buncha rich yuppie a-holes 'round here. heh.

Island_Yota · 12-05-2008, 04:02 PM

My Supra cost $140 to fill at $1.55/L, the tank is the same size as a 3rd gen P/U, Now its around $60 to fill. I think my truck would be around $32 right now, first gen shortbox think its a 40L tank.

its $.87 per liter here.

Psalm 112 · 12-05-2008, 05:15 PM

$1.54 gal today here in Albuquerque. I can't remember the last time I saw that price for gas. Seems to be dropping a penny or two every few days...

marky · 12-13-2008, 02:45 AM

You GUYS are'nt as bad as us in the UK we are paying 1.48771 USD per litre of Diesel, 5 Litres thereabouts is a UK Gallon. At least its coming down over here as well. That equates to about 7.4 USD per gallon over here.

stormin94 · 12-13-2008, 02:50 AM

Paid $1.55 in California, which isn't bad at all considering.

I put $20 in the tank, and I got a full tank, and gas on my shoes.
