The prices of gas fall everyday. Sometimes, more than once per day!!
Today, it was $2.37/gal this morning on our way to the gym. In the afternoon, we noticed it had dropped to $2.35/gal. Then this evening, it was $2.33/gal!!
Wow, a 4 cent drop in less than 12 hours! Now, I wait to fill up because I expect the price to go lower in a day or so. In the past, I would wait to fill up until the tank was near empty and I really needed the fuel...regardless of price. I would just try to make it last as long as possible.
Think the low fuel prices will help us get the economy out of this slump?
The Prices Keep Falling!

I always fill up. Less having to stop by the gas station. I hate being "nickled & dimed" to death.
I was very happy to pay $2.65/gallon this afternoon. I had 1/8 of a tank and it cost me just over $28 to fill up!
Woohoo!!

The next big problem will be credit card defaults. Not that they haven't already happened, but lots of people who need $ can no longer get it thru a HELOC or a conventional car loan becus of the seizure of the credit markets, so they're starting to charge everyday essentials on their credit cards. This spells big trouble ahead.
Besides, our buddies at OPEC are planning a meeting later this month and the plan is to cut oil production so prices will rise. They are worried about falling oil prices, but not too worried about a worldwide recession.

It just seems that the average family who is seeing a squeeze will get a little break with lower fuel prices, therefore, not so much charged on a credit card.
