Went out shopping today and had a nice surprise, gasoline has dropped to $2.98 a gallon. That's less than a pound of hamburger meat. In the 3+ years I've had my car I've only put a bit over 8,000 miles on it, which works out to about 2700 miles a year, so I don't use a lot of gas, but it's nice to see it getting so low---lol---I didn't think I'd ever have thought that $2.98 was cheap for gas. When I was a teenager and first became aware of gas prices it was about 19¢ a gallon and coincidentally hamburger was about the same price and now it's $3.82 a pound.
