A decade ago I wouldn't understand this at all... but I almost did a backflip yesterday when I went to the gas station and saw only $1.99 per gallon.
I thought the days of less than $2 were gone. Once we passed $4... I thought that was the point of no return. This past summer I did several speaking trips where i remember putting gas in the tank for $4.60 a gallon. (ouch... it hurts just thinking about it!)
Being from California, most other states' gas prices actually look pretty good comparitively. When i'm speaking in another state, it can be up to 50 cents a gallon cheaper. California is usually one of the highest.
That's probably why I was soooooo ecstatic when it hit $1.99 at my local station yesterday. (I wonder how low it is in other states right now?)
Imagine how happy I was when my I filled my Nissan Sentra for only this much!
Woohoo!!!! We have grocery money left!
