Re: Has the price of a gallon of gas reached your team number yet??

Gas in my area finally got back down to $2.01 yesterday. I was looking at the sign, thinking "Wow... gas has gotten cheaper this week." Isn't it amazing how quickly we get desensitized to such things? A couple months ago, I'd be talking about how ridiculously high $2.01 is for gas, and now I see that as "low". I guess it's all about perspective.

Funny to think we were all in an uproar over $2+ gas, after the prices that we saw last summer/fall. The same prices we complained about then draw little notice (or are even considered good!) now.

On a side note, I was really hoping to see gas at $1.21 when prices were dropping a few months ago. It never did get that low - not here in RI at least.

It's $1.87 here in Indiana...

On a side note, our Team President, Chris, paid exactly $15.01 for gas on our way back from our team party.

Amen to that. Let's hope it never hits 1622 either!

I remember when gas hit $5 out here. I was paying over $100 to fill my truck up.

Wow this is an old thread... thankfully gas prices haven't reached $11.24 yet, though. (:

Last I saw, Gas is about .92p a litre in London. That works out to about $6.40 a gallon right now. I live in Central London though, and rarely get far enough out to see a gas station so the prices may have dropped in the past few weeks.

One day, in your lifetime, it will. It will also hit $16.76, and higher. Eventually it will be far too expensive to simply burn - but that will probably not occur in my lifetime.

So, High School students: Go to college, and learn what you need to design something way out of the box to address this problem.
