Default Could Fuel Prices Be Dropping?

Just was out driving around, and passed a fuel station I passed this morning, and I could have sworn that around 11 AM the price of diesel was $3.59, and passed it bout 30 minutes ago, and the price was at $3.45. Anyone else see prices drop at all today or am I just starting to hallucinate?

Yeah, the station across the street from the one that dropped $.15 today has not changed, though it has been a steady $3.59.... I just find it odd to see $3.45 as last time I filled for that was when I was out yonder driving through Nebraska, havnt seen fuel that low since there...

some stations run special certin days of the week.
i know of one not far from me that dropps 10 cents every sunday.

but not on diesel. they said the don't have enough diesel sales to justify a 10 cent drop.

thats lame. this station that dropped this afternoon is one of the least expensive stations usually, though i mean now that they are down to $3.45 I wonder if any of the stations will follow suit, too bad there is only 1 station that is right by this one, though we shall see.

oh, and for anyone in my area, the station that is $3.45 is the arco at camino de estrella and the I-5.

well hell, of course I can deal with it dropping more than just a little! lets hope it keeps going down, to say... the high 2's rather than mid 3's!

Not a chance. Just read a report from Big Oil in Canada that says to expect regular unleaded to average out across the country at $1.50 per LITRE before next summer if Oil stays at $90+ per barrel.

That must translate to somewhere in the $4.10 or so a gallon I'd think.
