$2.22 for 93 here today. Regular was $1.84 I believe. ---

Down to 89 cents a litre here. Today I visited a company that, because of falling oil prices, had to lay off half their 200-person workforce. It’s nice to pay less for gas, but, really, the radical change in oil prices is actually not a good thing. ---

Converted to USD petrol here is around 0.45 per litre, although it is heavily subsidized by the government. We started a pool to see what crude oil price will be at years end. My prediction was $60 - is still economic for most projects - but few others had it at $75. ---

Still not under $2.00 yet, but it’s getting really close. Saw $2.03 out near FedEx Field today. ---

$1.89 a gallon this morning. ---

> [@chizzuk](#): > > Now I’m jealous. I filled up today for $2.79/gallon, which considering that I was at an expensive station in an expensive part of Montgomery County, MD, I thought wasn’t too bad. But under $2 per gallon? I don’t think I’ve seen prices that low around here since about 2001. If I were willing to drive around more I could probably find $2.60 or $2.50, but my car only takes ten gallons so the small savings isn’t worth the inconvenience. This station is now at $2.49, though I haven’t driven past it since Saturday so it may be lower now. Every time I go by it seems to have dropped another 5 cents. Lowest I’ve seen in my immediate area, which is generally pricey, is $2.27 cash price. If I wanted to drive around on Rockville Pike, GasBuddy says I could find $2.10, but that’s a big PITA to save at the most $1.70.
