did you notice a drop in gas prices today?

Published Jul 24, 2008

Good morning GOLO:

Driving past my gas station of choice this morning, I noticed that the price was down from $4.03 to $3.98.

The sad part is, I actually smiled and felt somewhat grateful. Man, have my standards for gas prices hit a new low.

This is pretty bad.

We have two gas stations in Caldwell County selling gas for $3.44 a gallon. This is 30 to 35 cents cheaper than the other gas stations.

What's sad is that the oil companies now know we'll pay at least $3/gallon. We'll never see $1.98 again.

There was a place in Kinston last week that had it for 3.60 a gallon. But the line was hours long and the police were out there directing traffic.

I filled up today for $3.85. It was wonderful! I hope this keeps up.

3.69 at the Red Star Oil in Garner, at the light by the new WalMart.

I watched the guy at the BP down from my neighborhood change from 3.99 to 3.95 about an hour ago.

I did also pay 3.89 yesterday, in eastern cumberland county.

I paid $3.89 yesterday.

Funny thing, I was buying it in Burlington at 3.83 when it was 4.05 every place else. So now it is 3.98 here? I am supposed to feel all better now?

It was around $3.89 in the Pittsboro area.

So...how many people aren't mowing their yards as often due to the high prices? Fortunately, we live in the country so no one is complaining about our yard. The deer seem to enjoy the extra vegetation, too.
