Gas edging down towards the $2.50 mark

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Over the last couple of weeks, gas went down from near $3.00 to about $2.55.

Couple of years ago I would have said $2.55 is high but now it seems like a welcome relief.

Is it going to make it below $2.50? Near $2.00 again, maybe?

I was watching the news yesterday and a lot of states are considering to raise the gas tax for maintenance of all the bridges due to the collapse of the Minnesota bridge. They expect that gas price will be 50 cents higher if that is happening.

Right now gas is about $2.71 up here in the mountains where we live. I remember when it was $2.00 a gallon and complaining...I'd gladly take that price per gallon now.

You're in Georgia? I remember gas was always dirt cheap in Georgia compared to the neighboring states.

I'm surprised it's more expensive there than down here in FL.

It is a welcome relief but I doubt it will last long. I notice the price of milk jumped dramatically after several months of high gas prices! I'm sure that many products across the board went up. What an interdependent economy we live in...I wish it weren't so much that way.

Yeah what's up with the milk prices?

Well, as long as they don't raise the beer...

Is it beer o'clock already? You must be on day light savings time.

All I know is that the news reports were claiming that high gas prices forced the milk prices to go up, but I haven't noticed such a dramatic increase in other drinks (water and soda, for example).

Down here Mayfield milk is $5.45 a gallon for whole milk. Some brands of sliced bread cost as much (or more) than a gallon of gas. What *IS* going on these days?

Reinhard, yes...I'm in Georgia. The gas prices have hovered around 2.71 to 2.79 lately.

Holy cow! Good thing our cars don't run on milk or we'd have to start pouring gasoline on our cereal.

It's always beer o'clock. Somewhere.

What happened to Georgia? It used to be rather inexpensive there.

$5.45 for milk? We're still below $4.50. I do remember buying milk for less than $2.00 a gallon. Wasn't all that long ago.

Yup...me too. The store brand (Ingles) milk is $3.59 for whole, $3.29 for 2%. I don't know what's happened to Georgia.

Okla gas 2.53 cheapest i have seen in last couple of days

[JODO 2]

$2.66 unleaded here and 1/2 gallon of milk is $2.75

[Jenn! 918]

I filled up at 2.47 the other day and bought a half gallon of milk for 1.59. Maybe Boston isn't as expensive as I've been thinking.

Thank God for independent gas stations and Market Basket.
