Oil prices are falling down and that means so does the price of gas.How low will gas prices go????The gas station near my house is at $2.95 a gallon maybe lower.


Waiting for fall...

Gas is $2.38 here now. I still won't say it is cheap though. uhuhh I want it to be more like 99 cents. I'm sure that will never happen but under $2 would be okay too I guess. lol I won't say it is cheap until it gets down there.

it's down to 2.44 at the cheapest place, and 2.71 about every where else. i remember when... well, when i started driving, it was around a dollar a gallon. it's been that off and on a few times in my adult life, but usually between $1-$2 a gallon. i prefer it to be under $2 anyway. but don't we all? lol

It's a miracle that gas prices have fallen below $3. I think the worst is over.Now things are going to get better at the pump.

I get extra credit in my cooking class for the activity.Every Friday,some cooking students cook up some breakfast for the teachers.We make the food,the teachers buy the food.It prepares us for careers in the foodservice industry.I get to make scones.I also help out other students with baking-related things like helping them make cinnamon rolls or strudel.I ended up becoming the baking expert.On Tuesday,we plan out the menu for Friday.On Wednesday,we make the scone mix and some other things.On Thursday,we make the scones and put them on baking sheets and get everything ready for the next day.On Friday,we bake the scones and cook the food and sell to the teachers.

It takes about half an hour to get to school by bike.I ride with my younger brother who needs to get to school at the same time as I do.We stop once in a while to check if we ran over a nail,piece of glass,thorns,etc.

yep---who would of ever thought we'd be happy that gas was just above $2.00.

Jessica, that IS a good price, but I am with you, I too would like to see it be more like $.99. But hey, it is sure better than it was. Now it is to hope that it keeps going down, huh???
