gas price over here fall by a little yesterday. that seems to be a good news for everyone here. but the companies, right after the roll-back of prices yesterday, already told that they will still have another round of price hike by tomorrow. this is not a good idea.

I just got back Wednesday from driving almost 900 miles to see my new grandbaby. On the way up we got gas three times, twice for 3.57 a gallon, once for 3.79. Coming back home we didn't do so well all the places we needed gas was in the 3.65 range. Drove another 400 miles yesterday, paid 3.62 for gas. I got rid of my minivan before the gas prices started climbing, bought a little Cobalt. I get supper mad at my kids if the gas milage isn't at least 35 miles to a gallon. I traded cars with my daughter for the summer because she has been driving 1100 miles a week for educational puposes all summer and my car gets twice the gas milage as hers. We still use a lot of gas but not near what we would if she used her own car.

Wow we haven't seen it that low in atleast 8 months or more. I would feel delirious if it got down to 3.57 here.

yeah.. a good news to hear that the crude has eased a bit, but the analysts fear that the worst is not yet over. When the crude touched $150 a barrel mark, our government
(India) hiked the rate of gasoline.. very steeply.. and now the prices has eased out, but still no reduction in prices..
Feeling the burden too much..

I saw gas as low as 3.70 yesterday. At my supermarket we have rewards of 10 cents off a gallon with our purchase of groceries so that helps. I am glad it is coming down, my budget couldn't handle it any longer. Even though it has come down a few cents the prices are still crazy. I don't know if they will ever come down significantly, they should probably be under $2 per gallon but it is hard to see that happening. We need alternatives and less dependency on gasoline. Less dependency and the price will go down. I wish I could afford a hybrid, or electric car but i cannot. What I can do is get a more fuel effecient car hopefully soon in the future, but right now I am really feeling the crunch financially. Hopefully the fuel prices will go down and so will the other prices like grocery etc. that have gone up so much due to the higher transportation costs.

Gas is getting expensive day by day. Really even a few cut off and reduction in the price is considered these days a sign from heavens. No wonder why so many people are being forced to sell their SUVs and are being inclined to drive smaller cars.
However, on the bright side, if you look at it, expensive gas prices mean more fuel efficiency in a way because if all of us start driving more fuel efficient cars, then we would not be helping only us but the environment in general.

I believe that the gas prices have gotten lower here also in the state of Alabama. I have come from Pennsylvania a few months ago and I am not sure how their prices might be, but I am sure they are getting lower everywhere.
