      My friend bought premium at a BP in Council Bluffs, IA today for around $3.67. I think the cheapest lead free ethanol was around $3.34. It's definitely great to see it coming down so quickly, especially premium. I can afford to drive some of the hot rods now!

      I keep wondering if the price of my trash pickup will go down when the price of gas goes down ? They went from putting it on the bill as a surcharge for a few months and now it just shows up in the normal cost column. With the price rising and falling so drastically it makes me wonder if everyone is just trying to pull in a little extra cash to make up for losses in the middle that got trimmed pretty tight?

      I still stand on the thought that it will be $2.75 to $3.00 in November since that is where the sales of gas went back to the volume we had made as the standard they liked. It was also when we all started saying it was cheap.

      I just keep hoping that it will hold at a low price when it gets there.

      Some stations were still at Saturdays prices tonight but not many.

      Now most are at $4.12 to $4.35.

      These are all prices for 87 octane
