I paid $1.97 for gas today, so I'll have more to spend on hot tub chemicals.

See, at that price I can switch back to the H2 for the winter and then the bike next summer again.

Where do you live? Cheapest I've seen lately is $2.30/gal for 87, I filled up at $2.31/gal on Thursday. What sucks is the prices which have come back down quite a bit have not had a positive effect on food prices, and other things that inflated when it was in the $3-$4 range. I'd love to see prices in the high $1 range again but even if it gets that low, I don't expect it to stay. OPEC is a joke.

Some of the dealers I've been to looking at tubs are stating that prices on the new models will climb fairly significantly over the next 2 years due in part to all the economic issues, is this just BS trying to get me to buy now or what?

Probaby the same here in Columbus, Oh.     There is one station I need to check, but I don't go that way very often.  When gas dropped to $2.50 they were still selling at $3.29.  It was probably the only one in the state over $3 at that time.

Bought gas today in suburban Atlanta for $2.16/gal.  Filled up my Tahoe for just under $50.

With my frequent shopper card, I paid .79/gallon today at the grocery store for 20 gallons. 17 in the car, and 3 for the snowblower. I haven't paid that since 1978 I think.

Our gas is still 2.49, 2.69 for premium which I use. We have found out that the lower grade gas is having bad effects on 4 wheelers, lawmowers ect because of the ethonol added to it. The small engine guy is having a slew of repairs, his companies are telling him to tell people not to use it. I was having an issue with performance with my car also, switched up and issue is gone.

As for other prices coming down, I have not seen it. Food is still creeping, still get fuel surcharges on freight, chemical costs just went up and so on. What the heck!
