Filled up yesterday at $1.77 a gallon. Only up 2 cents since last time I did.

We're on winter break now and I'm looking forward to not driving the kids back and forth to school and Darren not driving the 300 miles a week for work (he's on vacation too.) Should be more than two weeks (or 1 with Darren's car) before we have to fill up again.

Up here too, though I blew it..

It had been $1.61 on the corners and elsewhere, then on Saturday when I left home at 11am it was up to $1.65 there and $1.63 up by I405, but I had the feeling it would soon be up there, too. (and I was correct, as it turned out). So I watched prices all the wey to get my haircut and the cheapest I saw was $1.63. I decided that at less than half a tank left I'd fill up and did. So all the way home, that was a good decision .. uh .. except that finally I saw one station on a street I rarely frequent.. at $1.61. But of course I had already filled up.

That was Saturday.. not sure how prices are riding today.

DH just came home from filling up and it was $1.37.

That just amazes me because when I first moved here 15 years ago it was $1.05.

Independence, Mo.

I keep hearing that the price is going down, but ours keeps going up. It was up into the $1.70s a few days ago. The lowest it went was $1.59, I think.

We had been down to 1.54 (for only a day), then it was up to 1.64 (stayed there for about a week), and then today it jumped to 1.84. Still happy it's under $2, and still driving like it's $4!! :-)

It was $1.63 today at Costco in Vallejo (up from $1.59 last time I filled up). But it was $1.83 at the Shell station I passed, so I saved $2.40 by getting gas at Costco!

I always feel we should get a discount at Valero since Dylan's Godmom is the VP there. Valero doesn't feel the same way though, darn it! :-)

Up to $1.75 at the two stations nearest to me last night and I did find one at $1.69 but I'm not clear if the trend is up or down in my area.

I sure hope you are right, Pamy! Of course the Feds are jonsing to raise the federal gas tax, now. Bummer. Apparently, because many of us have cut way back on usage, now they opine that there isn't enough federal tax paid to go to the highways, so.. let's soak those who buy gas even more! Of course that may drive more people to use less gas.

It's been $1.55 for at least a week at the local station, but has gone back up to $1.61 along the highway.

It was either $1.43 or $1.59 in Brownsville, TX, yesterday, nothing in between. Very odd.
