10/16/08 The Price of Gas

I bought gas tonight not because I needed it (I still had over 1/2 a tank) but because it was so unbelievably cheap and I figure after the election the Republicans will make sure it sky rockets so they can blame the Democrats. Anyway, it was only $2.89 a gallon! I went to write it down in my mileage book and saw the amazing change in prices in less than a month:

9/21: $3.71
10/5: $3.36
10/12: $3.04
10/16: $2.89

And though I didn't fill up, don't forget October 2 when the price was $3.49 a gallon at 8:30am, $3.48 a gallon at 2pm, and $3.47 a gallon at 8:00pm.

It's still outrageously expensive, but those are some amazingly fluctuating prices!
