AUGUSTA, Maine — As worldwide crude oil prices continue to plunge, retail gasoline prices in Maine follow suit.
Price-monitoring website MaineGasPrices.com reports Monday that the average retail price of a gallon of gas in Maine has fallen six cents in the past week to $3.63.
The current price is now just two cents above the national average.
Prices are now more than 15 cents per gallon lower than at the same day last year and nearly 23 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
A company analyst is predicting that prices at the pump will continue to fall in light of the latest U.S. jobs report as well as continued concerns about European debt problems.
Does this mean we can do away with minimum wage now? lol.
All you republicans that blamed Obama for rising gas prices can now get on your knees and thank your “Socialist gay-luvin’ dog-eatin’ secret-muslim Kenyan President” for reducing your gas prices.
That.
Or shut up
Yessah
I didn’t accuse him of anything but I certainly won’t be giving him credit for the lowering prices. It appears anything positive happens you automatically give the President credit. How exactly is President Obama responsible??
LOL.. If this is what you liberals think of him then LOL…
When I see gas up here in The County hit $ 3.50, then I’ll believe in the recovery. But I ain’t holding my breath !
Falling gas prices are not a sign of a recovery, unfortunatly.
It would take a dramatic drop in gas prices in Canada to change gas prices in The County. As long as there are Canadians who think $3.90 is cheap, that is what the price will be.
Actually, falling gas prices mean a softrning economy. Not a recovery.
And you will definitely see $3.50 prices. Probably next week.
It’s $3.53 in Washington County.
They are messing with us folks,totally playing with their power.Jehovah does NOT like this at all…
When prices rise it’s Obama’s fault and when they fall it’s worldwide forces? God, what a joke.
No stick the script… It’s Cheney and Haliburton manipulating the oil markets!
It is a set up for gambling, gaming. Drop the price of a commodity, like oil, and watch the players arrive.
The game will begin as speculators are drawn to the market.
Hollywood Casino big time. Enjoy the precarious ride, but remember it has a dear price with the gamble. It is not a good sign for the economy. The market will drop and than escalate to new highs and new danger.
This is not good.
yeah…. but people sure love those speculators and hedge funds that have taken large short positions in Brent & WTI futures. Funny, no one complains when the price is going down and small oil drilling businesses that made investments in fracking equipment two months ago are losing their shirt? Naw… they like speculators now because their needs are being met. The problem with so many of us today is that we are looking for a 90-95% solution to our life woes. Ain’t going to happen. Give me a 65-70% solution… that’s the best you can hope for with the man-made system that we have. A 95-100%??? look to Scripture!
What does the price of gas have o do with Hollywood Casino??? Maybe I miss the picture here. The price of a gallon of gas in Augusta is $3.73 and Bangor and Brewer is $3.51 per gallon.
You know we’re being hornswaggled? We’re now accustom to 3 dollar gas rices. at some point it will hit close to five dollars and we’ll be happy with 4 dollar gas.
Still 2 dollars to high.
Time to stock up on gas,, go out buy ten 5 gal containers fill them and bury them in the back yard..
Still paying too much….
