I am old enough to remember .15C / gal gas. And that was with FULL SERVICE. For those who don't remember what full service was it meant getting your windows washed, your oil and other fluids checked and having them topped off for you, and your tire pressure checked. OH and BTW - they pumped the gas for you while you sat in your car.

Then greed set in, what more can I say.

I live in the Atlanta Ga. area and we had a gas shortage for over two weeks that had most stations shut down and the ones that did have gas only had regular and diesel. The prices went as high as nearly $5.00 / gal but it is coming down now and the latest I have seen in the last couple of days is $3.57 / gal. And many stations, while they do have gas, still don't have all grades.

You don't even know what high prices are.

Gas is 1.319/L here, after conversion to gallons and for the dollar, that's 4.34/gal. Then there's Europe.

This summer gas was at 1.47/litre with no conversion. about 5.50

Yes, you have it pretty good - enjoy it while it lasts...

In the UK petrol is approx $7 (yes, seven) per US gallon. Diesel is around 10% more expensive - and it's self service!

I remember them quite well. I also remember thinking "how much was the gas really worth if they could do that and still stay in business"?

Your petrol isn't to expensive your taxes are to high. Apples and oranges.

Well after 3 weeks of not being able to find gas at any price around Atlanta (the hurricanes had disrupted the pipeline that gives up 90% of our gas) most stations can keep 2 out of the 3 grades in stock.

I almost posted some pictures of lines over 100 cars deep at the pumps around here. Most of the stations would go thru there deliveries in 4 hours. It was so bad people were following the tankers and waiting for the pumps to open after the refill.

In the past 48 hours I've seen prices drop $0.50, but its a wide spread from stations at 3.79 to $2.99 a gallon depending on where you look.

I live in Woodstock Ga. which is a northwest suburb of Atlanta and it is pretty much as Lowbyte described it. I have seen a single station near me go in a couple of days from $4.29 to $3.29 a gallon. That is a whole dollar a galon drop in well under a week. I haven't seen any under $3.00 gas myself but local radio pundits are saying it will be there before the end of the month in all stations.

My wife says she heard that one of the little towns near to us is down to $2.79 today. This is in the northwest suburbs of Atlanta Ga. I don't know how long this rapid slide down in price will continue before it stabilizes but it is already way past what the local pundits predicted for the end of this month and we still have plenty of month left.

The bright side of this is it should bring some, if not all, of the consumer goods price increases that have been blamed on high fuel costs back down too. I can live with that!!!!

All this really depends on the market, while it's a good thing the prices of gas have come down(for us consumers)...It's sort of a bad thing(for the market). It's just because the price of gas is down to last i looked 78 bux a barrel!

I don't agree that it is bad for the market. So much of what we do and what we consume is dependant on oil that having the price come down will be an econonmic stimulus of far greater importance than the one the I R S gave the American people a little while back. And that will be a good thing for the rest of the market. The only ones to be really hurt are the oil futures buyers who got in too late and will take a hit. But what the heck, they are the ones who were driving the prices up anyway so I have little sympathy for them. As to the OPEC nations, I really don't give a rat's patootie if they have to give up one or two of their fleets of 747 planes and have to buy the $1000/Oz cavier instead of the $3000/Oz stuff.

Well I'm in England and I pay on average about £1.10 / Litre.

I think that is around $9.50 a gallon i stand to be corrected but i'm sure its not that far off.

Although majority of that is TAX and we get free healthcare and a whole load of other benefits so maybe it does weigh up behind the scenes!

Sorry to take it away from the picture but every time i fill up i'm a little further from my profoto kit!
