September 2003


After reaching a new record high price of $1.737 per gallon on August 30, the nationwide average price of self-serve regular gasoline has begun to decline and now averages $1.687 per gallon, according to AAA's daily online Fuel Gauge Report.

Still, the current nationwide average price remains 10 cents per gallon higher than one month ago, when the price was $1.587 per gallon.

Prices moved sharply higher at the end of August due to higher crude oil prices, rising demand for gasoline, a drop in gasoline imports and a series of problems with domestic gasoline refineries and a pipeline break, the AAA said.

One year ago the nationwide average price of self-serve regular was $1.402 per gallon, 28.5 cents lower than the current average.

Since mid-August, gasoline prices have jumped 19.8 cents per gallon in New England to $1.769 per gallon. Prices are up 15.5 cents per gallon in the Mid-Atlantic region to average $1.686. Gasoline prices increased an average of 11.4 cents per gallon in the West and Great Lakes regions to $1.826 per gallon and $1.721 per gallon, respectively. In the Southwest, prices increased 8.1 cents per gallon since the middle of last month to average $1.627. Prices are 6.5 cents per gallon higher in the Southeast to average $1.551, and 4.1 cents higher in the Midwest to average $1.627 per gallon.

Nationwide, the price of self-serve mid-grade averages $1.792, an increase of 10.8 cents per gallon since last month, and 30.4 cents higher than last year. Self-serve premium averages $1.856 per gallon, up 11.1 cents since mid-August, and 31.4 cents higher than last year.

Average regional prices for self-serve regular in mid-September of last year were: West, $1.527; New England, $1.452; Great Lakes, $1.437; Mid-Atlantic, $1.412; Midwest, $1.40; Southwest, $1.37; and Southeast, $1.328.

The national average prices for self-serve regular unleaded gasoline for AAA's mid-September survey for the last five years are: 2002, $1.402; 2001, $1.537; 2000, $1.58; 1999, $1.282; and 1998, $1.057.

AAA's Fuel Gauge Report is based on data from Oil Price Information Service, the nation's most comprehensive source of petroleum pricing information, the organization said. AAA purchases the data and makes it available free on the Internet as a public service.

I am with you on that.

Prem is $2.25 to $2:31
JUst got back from Vegas and its $1.99 for prem.
Prem = 91

Forget the trivial Enron scandal- look into the price fixing in gasoline that's gone on for decades. There wasn't anymore reason to raise gas prices before Labor/Memorial day than there is now to lower them.
Have you ever noticed that gas prices go up right before a major holiday like Thanksgiving, Xmas, Memorial Day, Labor day or 4th of July? Why is that? Sounds a lot like price fixing to me.

ITs Called Price Gauging, I hope I spelled that right.

Gas here is slowing going downward, finally. Down about 7 cents from 1.78 to 1.71 per gallon for regular.

prices have dropped here in the last few weeks anything upto 10 cents a gallon.

Filled up 2 days ago for 1.60 for 89 but 87 going for 1.50.

$1.41 this morning in Austin, Texas!! Woo-hoo!! As summer winds down, I think that we may see across the board price dropping. I can't wait to see prices once we start getting that cheap Iraqi oil.
