Wow!! The best I can get around here is $2.33.

Oh well the world may look up, down, or sideways, but it's how I decide each morning what MY outlook will be that matters.

Thumbs up

Irnsrgn, That is fantastic, Even if it is just for a while(the the polls close).
Here in "Jersey the lowest so far is $2.45, some are still at $2.85 on the busy Highways(abit of gouging). It always strange/funny how we are manipulated with yo yo pricing for no other reason than a big business agenda.
Again happy for you folks, Hope our pricing will follow soon.

Well, they told me petrol should be $1.15 by Christmas, and the pumps down the road say $1.14.

In US terms, that means $0.86 a litre, or $3.26 a (US) gallon. Time to sell the 4wd (SUV) and buy a Beetle

how much do you think it would cost to get petrol posted from the US, by the litre???

We are at $2.09 here in New Braunfels but I am told a couple of places in San Antonio have already dropped to $1.99. Guess I have to keep driving the truck for a while.

I'm in about the same boat as Blacksmith 58 ( makes sense cause he's only about an hour and a half away). $2.21 in north central illinois, and the lady at the station says it should keep dropping. The odd thing is that as the price drops, it gets cooler outside, and my trucks gas mileage drops....hm....gotta love my Ford....
