I've heard a couple of reports of gas at $1.89 at the Costco on Kemper Rd. here in Cincy, and it appears confirmed on Cincygasprices.com, but I am not sure if that's with any kind of shopper discount card or anything. I assume not since I've heard no mention of it.

That's what this state did when the national 55 MPH limit was repealed. They just put stickers over the old 55 signs until they were replaced as part of their normal maintenance.

It's down to $2.19 around here now.

gas prices should stabilize shortly. OPEC is going to cut back production to keep prices up.

My guess is that for the winter, gas prices will hover between $2.10 and $2.40 or so (with variations depending upon your prevailing tax situation)

Heard the OPEC news as well. Actually the prevailing price around our area jumped up a few cents when the news came out.

It's political manipulation. Bush's buddies want to stay in control. As soon as the November elections are over, the prices will shoot back up.

Historical gas prices

Just for the heck of it, here is a chart of how much the price of gas was for me per gallon going back over seven years (I keep track of my mileage in a spreadsheet whenever I fill up).

It's been on a long climb since late 2001, with only a recent drop.

For comparison, here is for my area and the site even nicely converts to a US dollar for you.
