(If you mean costs (currently), then ^^^^. If you mean cost in 2007, remove two eye bulges and two eeks )

Gas is subsidised heavily here thats why so cheap..currently a 2013 model basic is $25,581 US so you can leave the eeks and eyebulges

So (others also see posts #102, #104, and #128) a 2007 model basic currently costs $23,256 USD vs. a current cost of $25,581 USD for a 2013 model basic ?

Isn't this all political? The POTUS and his western allies getting Saudi Arabia to produce more oil than is needed so they can poke a sharp stick, where it hurts, into Vlad the Invader.

Putin thinks that is a possibility. The Saudi Oil Minister and the UAE Petroleum Minister say no:

$2.79 in Northern Maine for 91/93. This pains me because the car is currently on blocks and because it is winter.

$2.33 in Scarsdale NY 1 hour ago. Lowest I've seen it in a long time. I don't know how that station sells it so cheap. He is consistently 20 cents cheaper than the surrounding stations.

I would bet the reason its cheaper would induce you not to put his gas in your car, were you to know it.

Saw $1.99 here last pm!

. Around our metro I notice wide price swings among stations in close proximity to areas with the highest demographics (River Oaks, the Memorial Villages, Tanglewood, etc).

I've been using his gas for over a year in another car and have had no problems. I don't think he's selling bad quality stuff. MPGs are good and like I said no problems. Honestly I think he may be scamming on taxes or something. His cigarettes are way too cheap also.

Right it could be perfectly OK.

Years ago I went to the cheap gas station for my VW Beetle. I did this for many many years. I would NEVER put Exxon or Texaco or brand name gas in my VW. No Sir!

Then one day at the cheap gas station I got two quarts of rusty water in my VW and it came to a stop about half a mile from the station. I was very handy and suspected I got water because my VW ran PERFECTLY and I did all the work myself. I had tools in the car (and you didn't need many tools to work on cars in those days) got the tank out of the car and drained the rusty water out and went on my way. But I never went back to that station and warned all my friends.

But did I learn my lesson....no I did not! I bought cheap gas all the time until once in Paramaus NJ I got gas that made my Subaru smell like rotten eggs. Really bad too!

After that I figured no more cheap gas for me. Cars are too expensive and too hard to work on today and I am too old besides.

I'll tell you some more things I do while Im on the subject. I don't drive much (5000 miles a year) and I only use half a tank every two weeks or so. But I fill up at four bars cause you don't want condensation in the tank which is what youll get driving around with an empty tank.

Also being a private pilot you don't leave gas tanks half full or trust the gas gauge because again of condensation and you don't want to run out of gas because then you might have an expensive landing. Also, unlike with a car you test the gas in your airplane for water and many times you find it in there. Remember when the water made my VW stop? Well if the engine stops on takeoff you can crash. Airplanes are very light (1500 lbs) and hold 20+ gallons of gas. In a crash the fuel tanks can rupture coating you your passengers and the structure with gas that likely ignites incinerating everyone and everything.

Which you don't want!
