I contend that we are both an atheist. I just belive in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

Nah, it's just that demand is way down. Recessions take a big blow on energy consumption.
gas prices had to go down, or else no one can afford it.
They will make more money with the lower prices because they will pump that much more I would think
OPEC said last week that they will cut down on production so the price will go up again. Saudi Arabia says NO because it will hurt their investments in Europe and America, but the rest of OPEC want the price for oil back up to the "normal" level (I think it is around 140 dollars they are aiming for).
2.25! Why is gas a dollar or more here. Ah the price i pay for living in Hollywood
the reason gas prices are always going to be higher in cali than elsewhere is cali has strict emission regulatons and refines their own fuel. it costs more to do it that way.
not only that, California has one of the highest, if not the highest tax per gallon. Here in New orleans, the gas tax per gallon is .30ish cents. cali has a .70 cents tax per gallon tax, maybe more now. Cali adds almost a dollar per gallon just in its own state tax.
Here in Croatia prices are still same.They didnt have problem with raising prices during high prices of oil barrell,but now when is 50% less prices are same.
you honestly think demand has gone down by over half? cmon
prices went down as speculators in oil futures started to bail out. that was why the price was so high to begin with.
gas prices vary from region to region, city to city and even block by block because gas is just like any other product... supply and demand dictate price.
Great timing for my trip to the USA tomorrow.. Maybe I'll see if the rental car company will upgrade me to an SUV now
I did that when I went up to Vancouver the other week. They were giving free upgrades so we took it. The cost of gas was so low, it only cost $100 to drive from seattle to vancouver island and back. Good deal and far more comfortable IMHO.

The difference in the price of gas in different cities around the US is mostly due to varying amounts of local taxes...

Nice.. you drove right past the place I'm staying... I'm about one minute from that crazy shooting spree last month.
Just saw $1.99 at two gas stations in a row!
Nice to see gas that cheap, but if it goes much lower that really can't be good for the economy. Hopefully they both stabilize soon.

taxes vary and play some role in prices but the price of gas varies significantly within a city depending on the area of the city. that has nothing to do with taxes.
the prices we see right now are varying by well over a dollar per gallon right now across the US as prices adjust from the supply to wholesale to retail level. that huge difference has nothing to do with "taxes" either.
