Journal 8...by Beckie Sealock

I think gas prices are pretty reasonable today, considering that about 2 1/2 years ago it was almost up to about $4.00 a gallon. And ten years ago, the price of a gallon of gas was about $1.10. Today, the average price of a gallon of gas is $2.35. Not bad considering everything else has gone up considerably.

A loaf of bread in 199 was about $1.29 and today a loaf of bread is about $2.99.
A carton of 12 eggs in 1999 was $1.79 and today the average price for 12 eggs is $.99.
McDonald's hamburger in 1998 was $2.69 and today you can buy a hamburger off the $1 menu.

So some prices have gone down on items compared to ten years ago, maybe it makes up the little bit of difference for a gallon of gas.
