My 14 year old said they passed a station on the way home from school today that was down to $3.29!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully since our gas prices are going down we'll have enough to stay on top of the natural gas bills this winter! They are expected to rise anywhere from 10 to 20%. YIKES! Time to winterize and use the space heaters. If we were in our old house we would consider closing off the upstairs and having everyone crash downstairs. of course that house was a drafty old mess!

Blessings,

Garsy

That's a dollar a gallon difference. It isn't local taxes on the gas that is the difference. What is it then?

you're fortunate enough to have mass transit....good for you!...

ok...you moved from CLEVELAND to HONOLULU? wow...that was a bit of a "change of scenery"!

OH...gas prices.....they are dropping like a ROCK....oil prices are plumetting...(just fell below $80/barrel)

we're starting to see 2.99 pop up in many places....

We saw $3.17 yesterday.

I wonder what the people who bought new cars with the $2.99 per gallon gas guarantee for the next three years think about the now falling gas prices?

Ours are at either 2.99 or 3.25. One part of town seems to change about a day before others. It literally dropped 25 cents in a day
