My Union Journal

What an interesting time to be watching the gas prices fall.  On one month the average gas prices have fallen from $3.14 per gallon to $1.92 per gallon.  And the average gas prices have fallen daily for the past 50+ days.  Why is this a good topic to journal about?  Well, it is historic.

Do you remember a time in your life when you have seen gas prices swing so high and then all of a sudden drop so low and so quickly?  It is in fact a wonderful boost to our terrible economic condition to have cheaper gas prices, and you may find it interesting to chronicle in your personal journal. 

You may want to even do a little research on why gas prices have all of a sudden fallen so drastically, but I will give you a clue.  One huge reason is that gas prices follow the price of crude oil in the commodoties market.  The price of a barrell of oil (crude oil) has fallend from around $150 to around $60 now.  That is a huge drop and it is clearly reflected in gas prices. 

So, definately make a journal entry today about gas prices in your area and even write about what you are going to do with the extra money you are saving on gas.  Happy Journaling!
