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?

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.
God Bless,

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! :lol:

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. :roll: 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?
