A big debate on another thread is centered on oil stocks and trading the oil bust etc. Got me thinking....
How much did I spend over the last few years for fuel on average. And with low gasoline and propane (or NAT gas) prices so low how much money in budget is freed up to chase other things ....
I averaged 1400/year for propane which is looking like it's now around 900 at current rates
I averaged $4500 per year for gasoline which now, looks closer to be closer to $3000 per year.
So my savings is looking at around $2000 per year. Not huge savings but the dining out and hobby budget as well as travel budget goes up as a result.
So... Curious how much you're saving. I'm not counting the deflation of other products. Maybe you've seen prices down on other products leading to budget relief. If so.. What products (eg. Your plastics hobby or what ever.... Just made that up).
Gas hit $1.39 here. Cheapest I've seen in years.
