Gas Price Woes!

As the price of gas continues to drop I find myself having mixed emotions. Let me explain, I went yesterday to fill up, I put it off as long as I could but the light had come on. I like to wait because you know gas is going to drop at least a nickel before you can turn around. Anyway, I filled up yesterday about 12:30. It cost me only $47.00. I was ecstatic, just few months ago it cost me close to $80 to fill my truck! I was happy with $2.07 that I paid. Julie text me last night at 7:50, it had dropped to $1.99. Ugh!! That would have been another couple bucks cheaper!
I'm still really excited that it's dropping. Now if people will just continue to drive like they are paying $4.00 a gallon rather than go nuts and stock up.
Supply and demand people!

I TOTALLY AGREE! I got all excited when I paid 2.09 for gas and then a few days later it was down to 1.97.....
But I am so happy it is dropping.

I definitely prefer being upset because it's going down to being upset because it's going up. When gas prices were rising like crazy I would think, "I should fill up before it gets more expensive. Nah, I still have half a tank. I'll get gas after work." Then after work gas would be 9 or 10 cents higher a gallon. It made me so crazy! I'm glad it's under $2 though. We wouldn't be coming down if it wasn't.

At the height, we were paying $200 a tank (44 gallons of diesel fit into the Excursion!). I'm so glad we're down below a hundred!
