The Mr. Patels (4 of them now) and the Mr. Bubbas (3 of them) are having a busy time lowering prices.!
One of the Mr. Patels was in first place for lowest price on 87 octane yesterday. $ 1.27.
One of the Mr. Bubbas is dealing 93 octane premium at $ 1.44.
If you are lazy,,, then the Mr. Bubba who runs the "Full Service" station will pump your gas, check your oil, and do a tire pressure check for $ 1.42 per gallon, 87 octane.
(If you are nice lookin' and wear a short skirt, then he'll probably ask if you would like your front windshield washed... : ^ )).
AAahahaha! (give me a break pf)
I assume Altoona is lower since it always is... have to have the wife check!

We certainly did not see the dramatic drop in the last few weeks that the rest of the country did. Our prices did dip $0.10-0.20 though.

So...Chevron now at $1.89 for regular, and 76 at $1.99.

full serve reg $1.69.9, hi test $1.799 on No Main Street, Concord NH today.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
My wife got 87 for 1.199 earlier this week at the Randalls grocery (w/ the grocery discount). I got 93 for 1.299 yesterday p.m.
Ahhhh....looks like Wilcox needs to move to Tx...
In Chicago's west suburbs (Schaumburg/Elgin area), prices aren't falling all that fast. Regular is going for $1.49--$1.59, Mid-Grade is at $1.59--$1.69 and Premium is anywhere from $1.69 to $1.89. I saw a BP station in Bartlett (about 5 miles SE of Elgin) selling regular for $1.39 earlier this week. A Mobil station across the street matched the BP, and was carrying mid-grade at $1.49, and Premium at $1.59, but those prices were gone by yesterday.
The guy at the Chevron had to pull out his big '1' for the sign again: 89 dropped to $1.99. Regular still at $1.89.

89 octane 122.9
92 octane 132.9
Today, 0.712! And the cashier said it would get lower again... Good. We're back to "reasonable" prices at last.
And for the first time since more than 6 months, 98 unleaded has dropped behind $1 per litre!
87 - $1.379
89 - $1.479
93 - $1.559
94 - $1.619
diesel - $1.439

I've found that if you find a major on the same corner as a Racetrack, Speedway or other generic station, the major will compete pricewise. But go just a block or two, where only majors exist and the price can be 6 to 8 cents higher for the same brand on the same day.

I've also noticed a new (well, new to me) tactic. Ususally, we've got 3 grades available: 87, 89, and 93 octane. Prices are posted accordingly. But the local Citgo actually carries 4 grades: the usual 3 plus 91 octane. Of course, the 93 grade is now 'ultra' premium (or some such marketing BS). But the sign out front only list the prices for 3 grades.
So you spot what LOOKS like a good price on premium (which my car requires) only to find out after you fire up the pump that the posted price is for what I would call a 'mid-grade'.

We remember back , in mid 1960's , that with every fill up you would get a set drinking glasses (4) and they would check the oil , the tires pressure, clean your windows and of course they will fill up for you , all with smile in their faces . Sohio I think that was the name of the gas station in Hamilton.Ohio. During the gas war of the 60,s and early 70,s they would also give toaster , blender , radios , same in Louisville ,Ky.
Can anyone else remember the GOD,s ??
Regarding the good old days, I recall my Dad complaining about increasing prices and decreasing service (they stopped checking the oil)as we pulled into a station where the price had just gone from .299 to .329 for good old regular leaded gas.

I get diesel a full 30 cents cheaper at the stations closer to work, and when yoyu'e buying 27-30 gallons a shot, that can be almost $10 per tank less.

"Exxon" regular can be found for as little as $1.34/gal.
$1.48 through $1.54 is the premium price ranges...

Is not their fault that they are so corrupt , so greedy , I presumed that are us the consumer to be blamed for it.
I am quite sure they blame us for the high prices ,crying all the way to the bank.
