That is just plain wrong. I heard a news report that for the second
week in a row gas prices dropped eight cents. Here in CO I just saw
the first drop in many weeks...2 cents. Still $2.93 for the cheapest
unleaded.

100LL around $4.10

100LL hasn't dropped yet in South Arkansas but over the past 2 weeks we've
seen a .30 drop in Reg UL from 2.99 to 2.69

That is my point. You report 30 cents. The first poster 70 cents and
all I have seen is a lousy 2 cent decrease.

Could be worse Ron....
You could be buying transport loads for nearly the same as the pump prices!
Unreal.... I've never seen such a price disparity between wholesale terminal
and retail. Everybody here is blaming the supply problems.

Just paid 4.60 @ kral I only got enough to make the flight to A20 gas was
4.20 there. Mogas in Ca. is still over 3.00. I dont believe you will see gas
at 2 with crude in the $60.00-70.00 range. It would have to drop to 40.

On the other hand at my home base I just filled up for a trip and still
are paying $4.50 a gallon. Has anyone noticed if Avgas is coming down
too? Maybe it has to do with not making 100ll as often as Mogas. What
say you?

In real dollars it doesn't happen often (like it is now).

In terms of dollars adjusted for inflation, it actually
happened through the 80's and 90's when the price remained
very stable while other stuff was going up.

The inflation adjusted price will probably drop some. Higher fuel
prices tend to push up the price of everything else that has to be
transported, so in the end fuel tends to hold fairly steady once
adjusted for inflation. OPEC found that out real fast the one time they
tried to hold the USA hostage for fuel: food prices in those countries
soared even more than the price of oil did.
