$1.99 to $2.40 depending on what side of town you are on here. One particular place that I have boycotted is $1.89, the reason I boycotted the place is those prices have people waiting out on 10th street to get in line and it causes traffic issues that I seem to get caught up in every time I drive downtown. Another place further down has super low prices but the pumps start at three to seven cents so I never go there, if you complain the little man behind the glass tells you to contact corporate. I contacted the Oklahoma Corporation Commission instead and he had to fix the problem, I still will never go back. T Boone Pickens said in 2008 that gas would never go under $2.00 a gallon again, he best be glad he didn't bet his multi-billion dollar fortune on that statement.
I quit my Operating Engineers union job at the Beverly Hilton Hotel where I was the Refrigeration Engineer and had it totally made and loved my job.
But gas went up to at that time an unbelievable $.60 per gallon and I had a 101 mile round trip. When they went to odd and even gas days with a five gallon limit and my Dodge van only got 10 MPH I was forced to line up at each end of my day. Gas crunches ran me out of the mini bike business when you couldn't sell the mini bikes because of the mid 1970's economy.

We're still getting shafted. Back when oil was $60 a barrel we were paying about R7.00 a litre. It climbed all the way up to R13.66 and its only come down by R0.05 cents.
Food prices have almost doubled . Was blamed on the oil price and fuel costs. Go figure oil comes down and food prices stay the same. Now the excuse is the weak rand.
