It’s $1.90 here. I’m down to a quarter-tank, but I’m betting it will go lower. ---

I can’t remember offhand what the gas prices are in my area, but I know it’s under $2 for regular. It’s so nice to have gas prices this low especially because I just bought a new car that takes premium. ---

Pikers! I filled up for 22.9¢ a gallon. Of course, buying the right items at Stop & Shop over the last few weeks helped.😉 This was one of the few times that I wished the van had a larger-than-21-gallon tank. ---
