Lower Gas Prices

August 3rd, 2008 at 02:37 am

Gas prices in my area are 20 cents less per gallon than 2 weeks ago. At my one Saturday job, my commute is about 150 miles round trip. I used less gas today than I did two weeks ago. Since I start with a full tank each time it is easy to see that the mpg is in the 35-40+ range. Last week I got 4.56 gallons when I returned home to refill my tank and this week I got 3.31 gallons. So a savings in gas usage of 1.25 gallons. The highway I drive on has a speed limit of 65, but I try to keep it under 60 mph, if possible. Practically everyone is passing me. I don't really care, I'm seeing great savings by driving a little slower. Also, I use the air vent sometimes as opposed to the air conditioner (but I don't open the windows with the vent on).

I'm just wondering how long these gas prices will keep decreasing. Any ideas how long it will take for us to see the benefits of lower food prices??

Have a great night!

    I guess that is just the million dollar question! It always fluctuates so much! The price of gas finally started going down because the oil companies said the economy was finally starting to effect oil consumption. But a hurricane or more fighting in oil producing nations will cause it to skyrocket again. Ugh!

    Until the election is what I think and then back to normal, if there are no catastrophic events
