A Nice Surprise

The price of gasoline has been slowly ... very, very slowly ... coming down. Yesterday, most of the stations in Anchorage were in the $3.67 to $3.69 range. I decided to wait one more day, because the station I use typically lowers it price (if there's to be a reduction) on Mondays.

Today, many of the stations are back up to $3.75, but mine was still at $3.69, at drive-time. But that's not the nicest surprise. Due to purchases at the affiliated supermarket, we were entitled to a 50-cent discount. $3.19/gallon sure did make me smile.

And Ol' Green was grateful, too.

This will be its last winter ferrying us around southcentral Alaska; we'll be shopping for a replacement, come Spring.

I'll celebrate when they bring the price back down to $2.00 a gallon.
