I know this might seem like a random post, but I wanted to share what I saw yesterday while driving to take care of some errands. Now as you all probably distinctly remember it was not but 6 months ago when we all were dishing out an absurd amount of money for a single gallon of gasoline. Below is the picture I took yesterday of the gas station sign that displayed the prices. Regular Gasoline = $1.35/gal!
I was amazed when I saw this, hence why I snapped the picture. Anyway after doing some quick research I found out that gas prices nationwide and in Colorado were at their peak the week of 7/17/08. Here is a screenshot showing that info. (Source : http://www.gasbuddy.com)
Also just for reference here is todays top ten states with the lowest avg. gas prices nationwide. (Source: http://www.gasbuddy.com)
Random blog post I know, but I just had to share what I saw with the rest of you out there because I was stunned when I saw that price. Also just fyi – Colorado has a statewide tax of $0.38/gal on gas, so subtract that from the above listed price and you really get a feel for what gas is really costing the greedy ****** that provide it to us….
