There is one gas station in our area that hits a low price seemingly before anyone else in the area. Gas prices, as everyone knows are going down. Still, I never thought I'd ever see $2.99/gallon again. I grabbed gas at $3.59 only to have it hit $3.29 before I had used 1/4 of a tank. I took this picture when gas stations on the main roads through town were still charging $3.29.
So, Saturday morning when my gas light went on, I checked the price at the same gas station. It was 2.79! This gas station is small and cars were lined up 2 and 3 deep at each pump. Now, I ask you, is a 30 minute wait worth it for $1.30? Is it worth a 20 minute wait? I decided a long time ago that I would not drive around the block searching for a lower price (and sometimes find a higher one!) I have to admit, I was not up for the frustration of this tiny gas station this morning. I drive on down the road and paid $2.92.
Yes, with a little patience, I can buy gas for $2.79 a gallon. Unless the Lord decides to come back before then, I'll be working until I'm 90 (because my retirement is gone) but, hallelujah, right now gas can be bought for $2.79! Is that what you call seeing the tank as half full instead of half empty?
