I dove into Google Street View and found the Duck Pond Variety sign in 8 photos that show how much the price of gas has fluctuated over the past 13 years.
Inflation has always and likely will always be a thing. The last couple of years, it’s grown at a rate that we are not used to, leaving a lot of us scraping the bottoms of our wallets to stay afloat.
Driving a diesel, the price paid at the pump is even more than people just getting regular unleaded, so this Mainer had a little fun at his own expense. Watch the video here.
Every winter in Maine, I get more grumpy about driving. My driving, your driving, pretty much all of us. So let's go through the reasons I despise this.
But the sure signs of Spring are already here, construction has begun on just about every street in Portland, ice cream shops are shaking off the cobwebs of the off season and have opened, and gas prices here in Maine have started to creep back up
Gas prices have been on the rise ever since we hit a low back in February of this year of $1.69 a gallon. Before you start complaining about the price of gas though, have a look at this picture that was taken in Portland back in April of 2013.
I drive by the Circle K on Commercial Street in Portland every day, and it seems that just less than two weeks ago this sign read $1.99. What's going on?
Gas prices continue to plummet across the country and they recently dropped below $3 per gallon for the first time in Maine in almost four years. If you're like me you keep wondering where it will end. Could we actually go below $2 per gallon? Experts say it could happen in some places.
I was certainly not complaining when I filled by tank yesterday for $3.12 at the Cumberland Farms in Norway. That's with a 10 cent discount that they offer with membership, but it's still a significant drop in recent weeks. It got me wondering why there's a sudden drop in gas prices with all the turmoil in the world right now.
