Prices nationwide as of today.
Our gas has gone down, but California is still one of the highest in the nation.

Right about $2.55 in my neighborhood!

It figures that the price would now start to drop just after I dropped $25 for a locking gas cap!   ::)

Do you see those tiny red spots on Okarol's map?  That's us!  We are still waiting for gas to go under $3.  Some stations still don't have anything but regular.  It is just stupid.  My husband found "cheap" gas this morning for $3.09.

Anyone purchased home heating oil yet this season?  We pre-bought ours and are locked in now at $3.99 a gallon.  I know the prices tend to be a bit higher in Virginia relative to the NE because not as many folks heat with oil.  But, with the gas prices dropping, I am just wondering.  On the bright side, no matter what happens, I won't have to worry about my oil bill this winter...

We're out in the country and the only choices are electric, oil or propane.  We opted for hot water baseboard heat when we put a new system into the main part of our old farm house.  It was built in the 1800s and we thought forced hot air would create too many drafts.  We have a heat pump for the addition.

Well, we have a wood stove too and it really comes in handy when the power goes out.  Ours has a catalytic converter so it burns fairly clean.  Nothing like a nice fire in the woodstove on a cold night.  When it's cranked up in the winter we can cook on it too.  The downside is that it's pretty hard to get the heat from the stove evenly distributed in the house.  We have actually talked about sleeping in the room with the woodstove this winter, which wouldn't be that difficult since our son is away at college.  We have loads of wood right now because we live on 5 acres and some of the older trees have gone down in the last couple of years

I paid $2.89 a gallon for gas at a Shell last night and they are usually one of the pricier gases.  I was shocked to see the prices at $2.89 -> $3.09.  Never thought it would get below $3 again.

In the news today:

A report released Friday by the U.S. Department of Transportation showed the largest monthly decline in miles driven in 66 years.

In the month after gas prices peaked at $4.11 per gallon, Americans drove 5.6 percent less, or 15 billion fewer miles, in August 2008 compared with August 2007 — the biggest single monthly decline since the data was first collected regularly in 1942.

Americans have drastically altered driving habits, if they are driving at all. They have cut discretionary trips, and are carpooling and using public transportation more.

From November through August, Americans drove 78.1 billion fewer miles than they did over the same 10-month period a year earlier. The decline is most evident in rural interstate travel where travel is down more than 4 percent compared with a 2 percent decline in urban miles traveled, according to the agency.

The Transportation Department said the biggest decline in driving was in Florida where miles traveled fell by 9.7 percent. Driving in the south Atlantic region, including Florida, fell 7.4 percent, the most of any region in the country.

The question is, what will now happen as gasoline prices continue to drop?  Will we drive an additional 78.1 billion miles over the next 10 months?
