The Number of the Day is...
I'm becoming obsessed with gas prices, probably because they involve numbers (and I love numbers) and those numbers directly involve my wallet. I usually top off the tank once a week and lately it's been almost fun. Instead of prices jumping 20-30 cents a week, they've been falling by nearly that much. Bear with me as I document it so some day I can look back and "remember when". Today's fabulous price.....drum roll please....... $1.62 a gallon. Yea! I put 11 gallons in our 22 gallon tank for only $18. Wow! That definitely takes me back to early 2004. I remember gas in AZ "skyrocketing" that spring because a pipeline was down. Gas went up as far as $1.99 before finally dropping back down and there were lines for blocks at gas stations because no one had any gasoline. Don't know about you, but I vote for the price to stay low for awhile. Erica thinks prices should drop to $1.50 because it's a round number and easier to work with. I'm ok with that price, but I'll be happy if it just hangs out here for a little bit, too.

I remember when the pipeline was down and gas was hard to get. I found some that week for $2.25 a gallon and saved my receipt thinking I would document that record-breaking price. Wow, little did I know how expensive it would get in years to come! So glad to see it coming down here, too. And just in time for all of the extra driving you guys will be doing! Congratulations on the newest driver in the family! Wow, how can we be that old???
Is that $1.99 a misprint? That isn't as high as you saw it right? We were well over $4.00 so I was just wondering?
