Gas Prices in Nashville and the Story of How My Wife is Always Right

When oil tanked and gas prices fell (along with the housing market, 401Ks and the economy in general) my wife and I made a bet as to how far they’d fall. (We established a Mapco near our house as the standard).

My guess? $1.84. No lower.

She bet it’d fall to at least $1.73, maybe further.

And, as usual, she’s right…

Lesson learned...

But on another note, the experiment helped me discover AAA’s gas price Web site - the Fuel Gauge Report. As of December 2nd at 3:00 am CST, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $1.673.

I bet $1.50 is the trough.

In fact, I’m willing to bet $5.00.

Any takers?
