Yes it does. 8-)

Vibe had the low fuel light on today for about 5 miles before refueling. $28.81! 87 octane, $2.549/gallon. Made up for the horrible 28.6 MPG on this tank. Almost. :lol:

I'm really surprised the price of gas is still going down despite the fact that the holidays are quickly approaching :shock:.

$2.46 in the Toledo area. With OPEC NOT cutting oil production that means we may get to enjoy these lower prices for a while :D

Just filled up my wife's Equinox, 16.147 gallons for $14.03 at $0.869 per gallon.

disclaimer: this is after my $1 per gallon Kroger fuel discount I earned in December. I think that is the cheapest I've ever "paid" for gas.

$2.06. Arkansas apparently has higher gas tax than the boarder states. Towns close to the boarder states have gas under $2.00. I of course, live smack dab in the center of the state where it's still over $2.00 a gallon.

Local price in central Indiana is back to about $1.959 per gallon again this week.
A week ago, on January 4th, 2015, it was $1.659 per gallon in my city, and reported on TV as low as $1.499 in Indianapolis.

$2.48 last night, about the lowest around in the northern woods of NY, at least from a reputable location. It was nice to see the total under $20 from just above 1/4 tank.

So, around here (~60 miles west of Chicago), gas got as low as $1.86 back in January. Over the past couple weeks it has gone up a little here and there. It is currently $1.94 at one of the Citgo stations we go to. It's $1.99 at the other Citgo station we go to. Every other station in the area is at $2.09 :roll:.
