The Money Experiment - Day 2 - Gas Prices
Written by praveen on November 14, 2008 – 7:42 amThis is getting really exciting. I had never thought I’d go as far as the second day but hey it’s working and I ain’t complaining as long as I’m saving some moolah.
Thanks to the dropping gas prices recently, we all have been having a sigh of relief at the pump. Remember, just last month we were paying like $4 for a gallon of gas? Our gas bill alone was running up to almost $400 per month. Why not? Some bigshot decided to have 2 SUVs right before the prices went north. Anyways, long story short. Like I’d mentioned in my previous writeup, I logged onto www.gasbuddy.com this morning and started looking for cheap gas in my area. The cheapest that I found was for 2.09. I was pretty surprised since in most parts of South Austin, it has been as low as 1.89 for the past couple of days. With no other choice left, I go to the gas station and I find it’s dropped to 2.01. Sweet deal. After a long long time, I have been able to fill up my tank for less than 30 bucks. What a great feeling!
This morning while driving to work, I saw it was further down to 1.91! With crude hitting almost two year lows, I think we should be seeing 1.50 pretty soon. Let’s just hope it happens and stays that way for some time at least
