Just received word from reliable source: A gas war has broken out on the oregon coast with prices in Newport, this afternoon, dropping from 3.49 to 2.99 if you want audio call local gas stations.

Wow! It's almost worth driving to Newport to fill up! If I can save 50 cents a gallon and can get 18 gallons, that's $9. It would probably cost me slightly more than that for the actual fuel used to get there and back...but hey, it would be a subsidized trip to the Ocean, anyway! (I wonder what the lines are like at these stations...)

There you go. Come to the coast this weekend, all kinds of stuff going on. Gas up when you get here. Hell, saving $9. would almost pay for your motel, wouldnt it?

Nine bucks? If you collect some cans and bottles, and you had made reservations months ago, um, maybe a camping spot.

I can get a room at the Sands for about $28, right? Well, maybe not on a weekend...

Hell...everyone head to "Trixters" hideout.....!!!!!

We were already booked in Cannon Beach, so I'll check out the gas prices. Not in CB of course, in a normal town.

Damn, so much for ExxonMobiles bottom line.

I never understood the point of these things. In the end, don't the stations lose?

Sure, it feels good to have a gas war, but that's all it is right?

Having said that, I would take an SUV, fill up huge, pump it out, then do it again. Might make 50 bucks or so... and have some entertainment.

Want to know what Oregon gas prices are?

Purpose of a gas war, is to encourage new customers, the station is losing profits in the short term, hoping to increase their number of customers in the future.
