One Year Later: Still Going Up

SDP 3-28-12
The SDP staff is back from a whirlwind excursion down to Key Biscayne, which you will hear/see more about in the coming days.  Today's post is marking an anniversary.  One year ago, I started posting a photo each month to document gas prices.  It's been a roller coaster ride, with prices jumping another 24 cents since last month.  Last year at this time, a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was 38 cents cheaper.  To review each of the 12-months, click the 'gas prices' label below.  As an aside, gas on Key Biscayne was $4.15.  (I didn't fill up there.)

It's really beginning to hurt my pocketbook! My trips to town have decreased from three per week to one and a half. And don't ask me how that half happens!

Relative to Europe our prices are not bad at all, but that doesn't help us much. I'm retired but we live out aways and we're always driving 10-15 miles on just about any trek we take and our car takes only Premium Unleaded which may mean I'll have to go back to work. :-)

Don't move to Canada, you won't like the gas prices here.

With the long distances in Florida, I imagine this is putting a dent in the budget for SDP.

Today I went kayaking in Rookery Bay and saw an osprey that was chasing an eagle with an osprey chick in its talons!

2 euros a litre in some petrol stations in Paris. That's 2.66$ (at today's rate) for 0.528344 gallons (hope I got that right).

It just keeps going up. My Valero stock is doing well. :-)

I drove to NC recently, and the price of petrol went down as I went further north. Not sure why that is, but it was nice until I had to turn around and head back south.
