Speaking of high gas prices...

Danalana wrote: I read about a place in Norway where gas is over $2 for a quarter gallon. They interviewed this guy who drives a small car...he said it costs $128 to fill it up I guess that makes my $60 not seem so bad. In fact, when we went to the beach, there were some places that were $3.73

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Yikes. It has been going down here ~ Dh got gas for 3.69 a couple days ago.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Lol isn't it sad how good that is? I used to think that $2 a gallon was horrific, but I think I'd be jumping up and down for joy if it went down that far!

Oooh Dh just called me and said that gas went down to $3.54 where he works!

Oh wow, that really is good

I do recall being in the UK in 1998 and paying the equivalent of $3.50/gallon there when our prices were probably $1.50/gallon. That's why they don't drive big SUV's and the likes.

lisar replied: When I paid 3.99 a gallon the other day for my car I was very HAPPY. I cant use the low grade fuel in my car so it cost me more to fill it. But regular prices are down to 3.80 a gallon here now. They said by the end of this year we will be back to 3.00 a gallon.

I remember when it hit 3.00 a gallon were all raising cane about it, and look at us now, we want it to go back to 3 dollars a gallon. LOL

Calimama replied: WOW!

I got excited yesterday because our gas fell to $3.95.. I didn't even remember what a 3 looked like up there.

Swood75 replied:
LOL...The most our reg gas ever got up to (that I remember anyway)lol was $3.85

Calimama replied:
Sooo who wants to mail me some gas?

We've been at $4.50's for awhile and are finally dropping down huge chunks overnight!

Our Lil' Family replied: $3.65 here, it's a nice break...too bad it probably won't last long.

blondemom replied: I drive a mini van and it cost me 70 + to fill up, where I live it is down to 3.67 a gallon.

This is true... there have also been studies done that show that Europeans drive way less than Americans and they also have great public transportation. So if that guys $168 lasts him as longer than my $80... it all evens out.
