- Today’s Gas Prices May 23, 2008
This morning after breakfast we went out and rode around for a few hours with my parents. This used to be an almost every Sunday thing when we were growing up. Down here in the south we call it ‘loafering’, meaning just riding around with no place in particular to go.
Anyways, the lowest price I’ve seen for gas in quite a while was today, and it was $1.69/gal. I had to fill up a couple of days ago and it only costed $25 for a full tank, compared to the near $60 that it was a few weeks ago when the prices were spiked and we were having some shortages around here. It’s like a co-worker of mine said, the large drop in prices makes it almost seem like getting a pay increase. I’m lucky enough to live close to where I work, about 4-5 miles, so filling up isn’t something that I have to do nearly as often as most. But I can imagine how nice the drop seems to those people that are having to fill up every 2-3 days.

I filled up this morning and it was only $18 total. much nicer than paying $38
Marsha – That’s great! Much nicer on the wallet
I can’t believe how much it’s dropped! One good happening in this economy! The stock market didn’t seem to like high or low gas prices at first, but now it’s a little better. We have interesting months ahead!
Muse – Indeed we do! I wish these fallen prices would hang around, but I’m afraid they won’t very long. But who knows though, especially with the unique and somewhat scary situation we are in.
