Enjoy it while it lasts. I know it has gone below $2.00 a gallon in other places and it has finally happened here.  :bdaygrn: :party:

I've heard that petrol is expected to go sub-AUS$1 per litre by Christmas! It's been as high as $1.60 this year, quite a fluctuation.

I was wrong; the petrol is just about US$ 1.50 a litre here, but that's since the $ has gone up so much in comparison with the SEK.

Talking about my wife in a post I made on November 5:

I was happpy/braggy about paying two bucks for gasoline, but she just paid $1.84/gallon!


No more complaints about gas prices for a while, it seems.

We are at $1.67 here. Still not down to what it was before 'W' and Dick came to power. No celebrating here.

1997 gas was 99 cents a gallon.   I don't remember what it was pre-9/11/01.

Here's a graph from Zfacts.com, shown in adjusted dollar amounts.

I was born about the time the arrow point indicates and "from Nixon on" I was fairly aware of politics, so I knew, but to see it in graphic form, with productivity taken into account, has quite an impact.

I filled my car up today and it only cost me $26.75 but my tank wasn't even down to 1/4 left.  I hadn't filled it up since August 25th.
