2 days before we leave on the road trip. I thought we had really caught a break on gas prices. I was really expecting a spike in prices before the 4th of July holiday. I was pretty enthused that the price levels remained steady to even going down a bit.
That trend was not to last This week, just before our departure, we got about a $0.40 per gallon spike here in Indiana and it looks like the prices rose generally throughout the area of our travel. Oh well.
Click here for some info on the price spike. Hopefully we’ll get through the trip before anything that’ll cause serious price spikes happens (hurricanes, etc). Here is a list of the price trends across the country.
We should be fine however as we used $4.00 per gallon as our budget number so as long as the average is lower than that we are good to stay under budget. Here’s to the ‘02 Sable getting great highway gas mileage!
