hubby was happy

[certherfbeef]

Hubby called home last night at 2 am. He was all excited. He just filled the tanks on the KW and only spent $380. He was so tickled he felt the need to tell me right away. :roll:

It was takeing between $550 and $650 to top it off before. It even got up over $700 once. Now with the fuel prices comming down a bit we can see some profit at the end of the week.

Never thought I say it but, it is a relief to see $2.00 fuel.

2 am? :shock: He was excited, but I'm wondering how understanding you were? :lol: :lol: :lol: I guess it just proves that everything is, indeed, relative. ;-) It is always a good thing to be able to turn a profit! ;-)

Yup that's right where they want us,happy about $2.00 fuel.

When I started driving, it was .65/gal ...... and now I get excited at the mere thought of 2.09 -- there's something wrong with that!

I am ecstatic at $2.00 per gallon. Sounds like a good deal to me. That stuff surely is hard to find, hard to get out of ground and difficult to turn oil into gasoline. Kind of amazing they can sale it so cheap if you ask me.

Now if they could just do something about the truly high prices. Bottled Water, Milk, Nike Sneakers and Price of a Ribeye. ;-)

My guess is that we can all enjoy lower fuel cost until election day is over. :roll: Funny how it works that way.

More than a year ago, a distributor told us they intended to keep raising it until we would be glad to see $2.00 gasoline. Here we are--happy as they want us.

Read in news that OPEC was meeting to lower production, not so sure they will wait or maybe it is within the time line since election is only a month away.

Try 19 cents a gallon. But 2 dollars an hour was pretty good pay, it is all relavent.

I'd say to some point it is relevant, this past years high fuel costs are not relevant to my pay, or budget.

There was some serious one year spikes this last year. But as a rule gas prices have stayed below the cost of living increases.

When I look back twenty + years it was a lot harder to fill the car up at $.89 a gallon than it is now at $2.00. If a average plant worker had to fill up a Car once a week in say 1982 with a 20 gallon tank and the same car using one tank of gas a week now. It would cost $22.20 more now for that tank of gas.

If a person is not making $22.20 more a week now than they were in 1982 (24 years ago) they got some serious Career planning to do. Especially with the increase of gas mileage a car gets in the last 24 years. I bet the average Americans gas purchase for a week has only went up around $18.00 per week in 24 years.

And there were water fountains at the gas station too. Now you have to buy bottled water and a 16 oz bottle is $1.19. Or you can get a coke on sale for $0.79. Wht is wrong with that picture? Cokes were a nickel each back then.

its under $2 here at some places.

We have a local gas station that charges 50 cents if you want to get air. I understand those that put those coin machines outside. But this guy as a big compressor and wants you to come inside and pay him 50 cents to get air.

I buy my gas down the street were the gas station gives free air.
