It was too good to be true! We actually saw gas prices drop to $1.50 a gallon in this area. Of the cost for each gallon of gas,we pay at least $ .70 in tax in this area, so that’s an amazingly low price per gallon. Unfortunately, that’s ended. The range of prices we saw yesterday were $1.57 to $1.69. Dear Husband has stopped at four gass stations with low prices which did not have regular gas. They could sell him the high test for twenty cents a gallon more, but the holding tank for the regular gas was dry.
I’m sure that the suppliers are waiting to see if their cost of gas drops again. My understanding is that they have to order in large quantities, so they’ve been waiting to see if they could get a lower price. And by now, the refineries are probably on a slow down because the demand for gas has dropped this winter.
Cop Car will be happy to see the price go up! *G* As for me, I plan to stay home and keep warm!
