Cheap Gas? Fuel at $2.99 suddenly looks like bargain

 The weekend began with a pleasant surprise for me when I saw signs advertising gas prices at $2.99 at local 7-Eleven stores.

Turns out, the news was even better.

I stopped at the Sam’s Club at Memorial Road and Pennsylvania on Friday evening and was able to fill up my car for $2.93, with a 5 cent per gallon discount I got with my Sam’s card.  Shades of, what, 2007? 

Then I drove over to Fort Smith to visit my parents, and when I fueled up again to return back to Oklahoma City, the price there was $3.15. Downer.

 Not sure what fuel prices will be to start the week. I’ll look on my way to work today and report what I see.

UPDATE:  My editor, Clytie Bunyan, reported that she filled up for $2.89 a gallon this weekend at a southside station.  Fellow reporter Debbie Blossom said that a 7-Eleven at NW 10 and May Ave. was advertising gas prices at $2.89.  Fill up and enjoy it while it lasts!
