Gas-prices hit near 5-year low

Posted: Dec 08, 2008

A national survey said Sunday that gas prices dipped to $1.75 a gallon – a near five-year low. The Lundberg Survey said that price of self-serve gasoline dropped 22 cents in the past two weeks which is the lowest its been since the $1.74 average seen in March 2004.

Lundberg said the price reductions we are seeing now are due to a drop in crude prices and demand. Prices could drop more if the economic crisis continues to affect the demand of crude oil. Lundberg said that the all-time high average was set on July 11th of this year at $4.11.

The cheapest gas prices have been seen in Cheyenne, Wyoming which is paying $1.46 on average. Detroit, Michigan is seeing an average of $1.61. Miami, Florida is enjoying an average of $1.87 while Los Angeles, California is smiling at $1.83.

    Remember those gas banks that sprung up a while ago. You know the ones that allowed you to buy a certain number of tanks of gas at the current price before gas increased any more. Ha ha sucks for them.

    You should be ashamed of yourselves!
    In Romania(a country in Europe, in case you don't know) the price of gas, on average is 1.75$/liter and you have the guts to complain that your gas is expensive?!?!
