It hasn’t broken $3.00 yet up here in NoVa. Can you bring up some extra next week?

Agreed. We need to break our dependence on foreign oil.

The Saudi oil ticks need to learn what it’s like to have nothing of interest to the world at large again, the way they were pre-oil boom days.

Twerp,

10.25%?! And I thought WE had it bad in TN with a 9.25% tax (no state income tax aside from investment income, but this is offset by the highest sales taxes in the country).

Meryl,

In Memphis, I filled up my tank for $2.81 (much lower than the upper-$3 range it has been). I was driving in AR today and many of the prices were around $2.99.

Regardless of this price break, I hope we still try everything (drilling AND alternate sources of energy).

It was $3.16 for premium in Minneapolis on Friday when I last filled up. Hope it continues to fall, and OPEC [especially Iran and Venezuela] “drowns” in their #$%^ oil.

It was about 3.50 here in Western Oregon when I filled up the other day.
That was regular.

The lowest I’ve seen is is $2.89 in Newport News it is generally below $3.00 on the southside…which means NOTHING to me as I drive a diesel (expletive deleted by standards and practices).

I’m in Chicago- home of the 10.25 % sales tax.
It was around $3.80 last time the Husband filled up the tank.
