Here's a pleasant change!

Today as I was leaving the office, I noticed the price of gas at the station across the street.  I did a double take!  The price: $1.99 per gallon.  

So of course I pulled into the station and filled up.  It only cost me $23 to fill my tank today!  I was very happy about it, but it made me think.  When was the last time gas prices were so low?

After a little digging, it turns out that prices were less than $2/gallon in November, 2008.  They've been on the rise and peaked after Hurricane Sandy, with some stations charging $4.50 or more per gallon.  However they've been slowly falling for several months.  I'm hopefull that they keep dropping!

What are gas prices like in your area?

Wow.   Under $2.00.  Now that is something to smile about.  I have seen it teetering $2.00 but not under yet.  Great news.

Gas prices spiked about $.50/gallon for me simply by moving to a new state - I certainly miss filling up my tank in NJ and MD.  I'm thrilled to see $2.50 here in CA!

Wayne and Jean, that is great! 

I had a feeling that gas was going to go up from our new low of $1.71 this morning, but was too lazy to get out in the cold and fill up this morning.  Sure enough the price had jumped up to $2.15 per gallon all over town except for my ace in the hole gas station that was still selling for $1.69.  I waited for 30 minutes and filled up for $18!!!!  It was worth it!

Gas prices are down in our area as well... and guess what we just bought a Tesla... LOL.... However we love the car and it is still a lot cheaper than gas...

A fill up for us was over $90 bucks and now a full charge is less that $4.00...

Wayne and Jean - gas prices are low but New Jersey always has the lowest.  Any time I am over there I make sure I fill up.

Our prices were even lower than that, about $1.65 a couple of days ago.  It sure feels good when it's time to fill up!

Hi folks, prices here are comparable to what you are paying We are usually a little cheaper here as the transportation cost is much lower. These gas prices are good news for consumers.
