OT Gas Was 2.88 today
Sherry wrote:
Yesterday gas was $2.88 here, and some people got excited too; there were lines at the pump. This morning it was $2.39. Sherry There's one station here that's $2.99 (most others $3.45 and up). So far below the norm that it prompted a news story on TV last night (3 different channels). Passed by it this morning and the line was huge. Passed by it again tonight and the price is the same. And darn it I filled up 3 vehicles last weekend at $3.45! Sam, supervised by Mistletoe |

We pay about EUR 1,39 a litre = USD 7,20 a gallon...

I did notice on my way to work tonight that the price on the turnpike had dropped which means others will drop even more soon. Send some of that 2.39 north, would ya? Lorraine |

Certainly I have a little chuckle when our Stateside friends complain about the price of fuel ;-) |

I pay EUR 1.51 at the moment for 1 litre of gasoline, I think that's about $
2.25, here in Holland, and that's at a gas station where the price is ? 0,06 lower than the official gas price. Nanny "wafflycat" schreef in bericht ... "Christine K" wrote in message ...

Go to a movie with candy and a bottle water and pay another $10 bucks for popcorn Go grab a gallon of milk, a few grocery items and some cat food treats Go grab cat litter and cat food Go grab a dinner at the local diner and have to leave a tip What to do ?What to do? Yesterday gas was $2.88 here, and some people got excited too; there were lines at the pump. This morning it was $2.39. Sherry Ok Sherry where do you live I need to bring the gas tanker truck to your area �to fill up for a while ;-)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oklahoma. But we're an oil and gas state, so it's usually a few cents lower than the national average here. And that's why high gas prices (as horrible as they are for everyone)... there *is* a silver lining here. The courthouses have been crawling with land men researching the books for the oil companies to make royalty lease offers. Drilling and leasing always takes a sharp upturn when gas prices spike. And the local economy booms because of it. One step forward and two steps back, as usual. :-) I never imagined it would EVER take $45 to fill my little red car though. Sherry |
