Gas prices have been pretty low this year. The above photo shows the gas prices at the Exxon on East Market Street, just east of downtown. At the time of the photo (a few weeks ago), the price for regular was $2.35. If you are heading to the beach or the mountains this weekend, notice the gas prices. It is fun, if you have children in the car, to have them record the gas prices and work out some math problems based on the MPG of your vehicle and the amount of gas you will need for your trip. Also, have them notice that gas prices in Virginia are lower. South Carolina just passed new gas taxes so the discount might not be so great if you head south. Gas taxes are supposed to be used for roads and highways. When you get stuck in a construction site this summer, just remind yourself that your gas taxes are hard at work.
Of course you notice Greensboro's iconic JP Building (Jefferson Standard, Jefferson Pilot, Lincoln Financial) in the background. All roads lead to this building and when you see it, you know you are home! Happy Friday. May your weekend adventures be many.
It would come out more expensive in Canada, where it's a buck fifteen a litre.
