Here's a not-so-funny trip down memory lane for those folks living in the U.S.
Does anyone remember when gas prices were this low?
On our recent road trip to visit family and friends, I noticed that gas prices in states we were in varied widely — $4.49 in RI, $4.53 in NJ, and $4.65 in PA. This week, Grenville filled his Jeep SUV at a station here in Nashua, NH, at a cost of $4.35. According to AAA, the local average currently is $4.485. While it seems like he got a bargain, it didn't seem that way when the total topped more than $75 for a fill-up.
Your turn — how are gas prices in your area?
As always,. thanks for your comments on my recent post about onboard experiences on our riverboat cruise. I'll have future posts on some highlights of the cities and sites we visited.
Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
We're glad to be home & after a week of rain hope for a sunny weekend

Our local Sheetz is $4.72/gallon in Warren PA. Having a refinery in Warren doesn’t mean our oil prices are low. In fact our prices are higher than other places in PA.
While I have never lived in the US, when we lived in a border town in the early 70s, we would drive over for cheap gas. There was a price war, and we could fill up for $5. I don't know what our gas is at. I just fill up, which I don't have to do often. I can tell you that my last fill-up was $75.
Our local gas prices in the greater Sacramento, CA area run $6.08 a gal.
Almost highway robbery. We really can't afford to go anywhere !
I remember when Dave and I were first married 1964 and we would run around town to find the cheapest price for gas. I think the average price was $.24 a gal. My little Nash Rambler ran really well on that gas.

I didn't start driving until the mid-1970s, but for a short while could fill up the tank for $10.00. Now I try to make sure I get gas at Costco, which is cheaper than anywhere else.
Fuel prices here in the UK have risen and of course it has a knock on effect on almost everything we buy!
All the best Jan
