Here in Nashville the price of gasoline dropped, for a few day we were paying $3.15 a gallon. Now it has went back up to $3.45 a gallon. Still better than the over $4.00 a gallon we were paying just a few weeks ago. I know this current price increase is from the hurricanes hitting the oil producing areas of the Gulf of Mexico.
Hope that when the storms are over, the price will go back down to a reasonable rate. We need the lower prices to make any money in our newspaper delivery business. Our expenses have gone through the roof this summer and we are on the verge of going under due to the price increases.
We will just have to sit and wait to see what the price does this week after the storm passes. I, for one, hope it goes back down, but I am not going to hold my breath.
