It's Official!

Gas is $1.98.9 in Kansas City, Mo.his morning. Funny how perspective changes your view of things; now t's good to see gas that low, but remember when we thought that was outrageously high?

[crispfin]

Indeed. Now we're grateful.

Just in time for the election.

I've got a feeling that the oil producing countries will suddenly discover that there is a "shortage" of oil and will begin to cut back on shipments...Thus causing another panic and price hikes.

Hey folks, let'sjust be grateful that they're not picking our pockets at least for a while. Praise God, gasoline is back under $2.00! Thank You Jesus!

I agree. Our gas is now $2.11.9 and it's coming down daily.

that's the trick....when people complain about it being high, like $2, jack it up to $4...then bring it back to $2 and everyone's happy!

I'm very thankful for the lower gas prices, but unfortunately it's being countered by increasing food prices. As a grocery business, we see what's happening first hand. Many of our grocery items and/or loads have increased 40% or more. The consumer is often oblivious to what is actually taking place.

We actually are still paying fuel surcharges on some of our products. Go figure?

Maybe some of those will come down in time, do you think, pastorables?

Our local Kroger has raised their prices. I am thankful for the break on gas though, I drive kids around like a taxi service!

Actually, I don't think they will anytime soon. We were told recently that there will be another price increase in the coming weeks.

Of course, prices will always vary regionally as places like Alaska and California have higher prices on many items. Nevertheless, the forecast calls for grocery prices to continue to climb. I wonder if some of that is due to shortages caused by drought and/or flooding this past harvest season?
