Default Re: Yay, gas prices dropping.
CNN is reporting $1.86 a gallon this morning in Springfield, MO. Missouri has one of the lowest state gas tax rates in the US, plus the pipeline supply in Joplin, plus demand is down 7% in the state from last Oct. Diesel hasn't dropped as much @ $3.09 a gallon. Gasoline is still running 2.29 a gallon in the metro KC area & 2.39 in St. Louis. There seems to be a very wide disparity between prices in the rural areas and metro areas. The bad thing about this is that my IRA seems to be following the gas prices.
