Gas prices here are dropping like a boulder over a cliff :rolleyes: .

This is like 2003 prices in this area, and prices are still headin' south. Wonder where it'll bottom out.

Can't believe it. Never saw anything like this before.

It's been a year of extremes in many areas. Gas here (we usually pay among the highest prices in America in the Chicago area) are around $1.80/gal today. Just 4 months ago I was paying $4.25/gal for regular!

You think thats expensive, you can double that for gas prices in the UK!

Edit, just worked it out little more accurately, about $6 a gallon here so not quite double :rolleyes:

Here in the great white north in Alberta 2months ago I was paying $6.53 a gallon ....today I filled up at $3.96 a gallon....not too bad but I wish I was paying $1.80 gallon. Last time we saw those prices was :lol: 16 years ago :rolleyes:

Does that mean we can fire up our Hemi's and let loose? That is, if we have jobs to pay these low prices, and more important, if we have Hemi's.

I am almost there with my Taurus SHO with the quattrovalve Yamaha V8. It rocks.

Here in the downriver Deeetroit area, it's at 1.51 a Gal. I read well over 2 years ago,that at a meeting in Wash.D.C. the oil co.'s decided to raise prices , under the understaning" If we jack it up to 5.00 a Gal. an leave it there for a while, they'll(the U.S. consumer) be GLAD to pay 2/3 bucks a gallon. Danged if the bastiges din't get away with it! Just ANOTHER sign of pure corporate greed in all it's essence!

When did the SHO's get V-8s? I thought they all came with Yamaha V'6's.

George, the "fish" Taurus had a short-lived SHO version that had a ridiculously small trunk lid spoiler and that V8 that Ken is talking about. Even more of a sleeper than the original two SHOs. You really had to know what you are looking at with one of those.

And gas here is still above $1.90. :lol: It's better than where we were but I'm afraid we are going back there after Jan. 10. :rolleyes:

$1.87 per gal. for reg. in Huntington, WV, but since my company shipped my job over-seas I don't need to buy gas, lol. I have no job to drive to, so the lower price doesn't matter a lot to me, but I am happy it's gone down. We all must remember, though, when it comes to prices; What goes down must come up.
