How Low Can You Go

As everyone in the country has probably noticed, the gas prices have dropped a lot this week. Last Monday there was an article in our local newspaper saying that here in Des Moines we had some of the lowest gas prices in the country. I had decided to take a picture of it to share with everyone. Little did I know then that our prices that were already under $3 wouldn't be as rare a thing by the end of the week to everyone. The picture below was taken on Wednesday.
Here is a picture taken on Friday.
And then there was Saturday's price.
On the way to church yesterday, I noticed that it had dropped down to $2.66. Isn't it great to finally see some relief at the pump.
On a side note, if anyone is wondering why our super unleaded is cheaper than our regular unleaded, it is because the super unleaded has ethonol in it which is a biproduct of corn, and fortunately we have a lot of that in Iowa.
