New York, NY
Gas prices have now dropped for 34 straight days, and experts all seem to agree $4 a gallon average is well in reach.
Will these looming falling gas prices cause you to buy more NIB games???

To me, skyrocketing to $5.50 a gallon and then coming down about 80 cents (as of today) does not equal plummeting. If it drops to under $3, I'll consider that a "plummet" since that seems to be where it had settled before it went nuts.
Funny. The more that news outlets proclaim to sharp drop in gas prices, the more I notice that gas prices are staying pretty much the same. Welcome to Orwell.

Gave up gas machines years ago for Electric to save the planet
Quoted from madtown:Where does the electricity come from?
Flooble cranks in R&Ms

Really? I'm in the northeast and the price drop has been very noticeable the last couple weeks. Down .50 cents in the last 3 weeks.

They are falling like a rock according to the mainstream media.
People like CNN around here right?

$3.99 a gallon, what a bargain! It’ll be so nice to get back to “reasonable” gas prices.
........... Just kidding, still too high.
Quoted from Mike_J:When the price of a gallon starts with a $1, I’ll pick up a couple.
Close, but it's 99 cents for me. Then I'm all over every new LE.
Even at current prices it’s comparatively cheaper than a good portion of the rest of the world. And prices are significantly down from where they were, AND (adjusted for inflation) a great deal lower than they were in real world dollars compared to the great post Katrina gas gouge of 2005. So yes, put me down for a Jaws LE please.

So 5/gallon to 4.50/gallon? Woo-hoo

Exactly. The only thing plummeting is Levi's approval rating
I am ready to get back to $1.29 a gallon like it was 2 years ago (at least in TN it was)

Oh great, just what we need, another thread about “with xxxxx happening, will it affect your NIB purchases?”......
You, know, there’s a guy around, who will go out of his way, to post links to all of these similar threads 
Great. Another gas bubble burst thread.

Where's Crazylevi when you need him?

Come on, I ain't doing so bad!!!
I just think it's important that when I see something on cable news, I extrapolate it to pinball trends and post about it here. Is that so wrong?!

WTF? I didn't even realize the new games ran on gas. All mine are electric. That's bullshit. Why would Stern and JJP do that.
Quoted from poppapin:So 5/gallon to 4.50/gallon? Woo-hoo
It if was the other way around would that be an issue? Up .50 cents? Of course.
Trending downwards at a time when gas prices traditionally climb is A+ in my book.
Are gas prices falling just before something important coming up all around the country? No reason that couldn't be just a coincidence.
Hell yes I’m gonna start loading up on pins, making a cross country trip to pick up an immamaculate Baywatch.

Immamaculate you say..
Obviously Shasta and deli meats included.

Ah yes, Summer of 2020.... What a time to be alive!

Nope, doesn’t even include the legs, but it is immamaculate!

Maybe not A+ but lower is going in the right direction.

Yeah same here...which is still way too high. I agree with you here but just saying 4 per gallon is still nuts for ohio
Quoted from underlord:Immamaculate you say..

Don’t be knockin’ on Shasta, that was the go to pop for just pennies, lol. Trying to remember, I think it use to be 2-3 cans for $0.25 around my old area, many many moons ago.
Do we have to keep making the here lame threads that mean zero. Robins amazing site deserves better.
Sorry/not sorry.
