Rising Gas Prices

Wow! The price of gas started dropping. It was good to see. I was doing a lot of driving to the hospital in a nearby town. The gas tank was going down fast. Then the price of gas also started dropping. Last night I happily filled up the tank at quite a lower price. Tonight as I drove by that place gas had gone up 4 cents a gallon. Sure glad I filled up last night.

Oil Rises Again

Even before OPEC met on production cuts, the price of oil went up above $67 a barrel. I suppose it is being raised at the gas stations all over right now. If they even think there will be less or more expensive oil, they raise the price of gas around here. I think it is disgusting. The national average was $2.82 but it is $2.39 here and some places even below $2. It has been wonderful but we know it won't last.

We are headed to a larger town tonight and know they will have the best gas prices, so will fill up at Wal-Mart for the best deal in that town. We can save over 40 cents a gallon and we don't have to make a special trip to do it because we are going there anyway. It really adds up fast. Between gas and groceries, it is taking a big bite out of the budgets of everyone.
