Back when I was in Jr high I remember gasoline being around 70 cents or so. I know I know, I just dated my self there, lol. Well my grandma would toss a Lincoln at me and tell me to fill up the tank. Those days are over. With gas reaching around 5 dollars a gallon last summer here in southern California who knows what this coming summer will bring.
Gas prices right now seem to be decent but I remember a time when everyone was going crazy cause gas prices were going to hit a dollar a gallon. People were in an uproar. They threatened boycotts and such but that never seems to come to fruition. Then they went crazy when gas was going to hit 2 dollars. I believe when the oil companies want to bring gas prices up, they take then so high that when they bring them down you think it's a bargain but wait you were just complaining about that bargain 6 months ago. It's all psychological. Sales tactics on the masses.
Ok well enough of the rant. If you want to find the cheapest gas prices in your local area just go to GasBuddy.com. I stumbled upon this website some time ago and thought I would share it with the Active Rain community. I know that driving around and showing clients houses for sale can use up some gas in that Hummer of yours. The least I can do is show you where to find the lowest price gas, lol. Either that or just go totally green by showing houses on bicycles. Hey that might not be a bad idea, lol.
