Has anyone else noticed how gas prices go up in nickels, dimes, and quarters, yet they only go down in pennies? Let me know what you think.

Ya know what, my other roommate (the one who ISN'T blind) has mentioned that recently. "Oh, they are inching it up again, but in such small increments that we don't think its as painful as the last time it got so high." And she, and you, are right, it sure is doing just that!

I have noticed, and it seems like the warmer the weather the higher the gas prices. They do not in my opinion go down at all, they seem to climb higher. They probably will climb higher this summer and stay that way for a while.

You are very right about this. It is approaching a big holiday, and then the summer will be here with all of its travel. The prices are not going to fall by much. Our best defense is to keep our cars in excellent running order and drive carefully so that we get the best fuel economy possible for the money we spend. I think I need to take up walking or biking as well.

here they go up in pennies and come down in pennies might be one or 2 a day but it happens! I hear for summer travel that it will be close to $3 a gal. I really hope not as that is 20 more cents than what ew are paying now!

Gas prices here in the UK have fluctuated so much recently, but yes it goes up a great deal faster than it comes down. It's like a yoyo at the moment, but there is little hope of gas prices falling soon

Yes I have seen that too. the price will fulxuate accourndly to market trends. they will rachate the price up to the point where we get used to paying theose prices and then go back down a few cents to make people think that they are getting a bargain.

Of course, they want to make those high prices last as long as possible. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I've noticed how it goes up in nickels, dimes, and quarters but haven't really noticed how it goes down in pennies. It's aggravating, though, isn't it? I wish it would go down a lot more than this. My gas bill just goes up and down all the time. Kathy.
