  • Gas Price Update - Late July '08

    After the over 8000 miles we put on in the previous 6-7 weeks, gasoline prices are finally starting to fall some. While they are still high, we could have saved a decent amount of money if they had been closer to today's price in little Tahlequah, OK.

    I bought regular unleaded for the Focus today at $3.589 and premium was available for $3.789. Until this year who would have ever thought that we would consider those numbers bargains.

    I heard today that the average price around the country is still $3.96/gallon. Hard to believe we are almost $.40/gallon under the average.

    It would be nice if this trend continued into October for the trip to Las Vegas!

    When I go to the OU games I plan it so that I hit Ardmore on my way home on fumes. I then fill up to the point where I can see the gas in the filler neck. Much easier to do in Oklahoma since they do not have those aggravating "Do Not Top Off" devices on the nossels. The Oklahoma gas prices are usually a bit less than in my area of Texas and I do not believe the gas is seasonally formulated resulting in an increase of 2 MPG and at times I get even more than that.

            For Las Vegas, regular has been in the $3.97 to $3.99 range. Premium has been around $4.17 to $4.19 lately. It would be nice to get that under $4 again too.

                Ed, if you guys aren't the lowest price in the country you surely must be close to it! Lucky you.
