Calculate difference in price

Im setting a simple spreadsheet to calculate the differenct in local gas
prices day by day. The formula i need is to figure the price difference from
day 1 to day 2 and so on. Sometimes it will subtract and sometimes it will
add to calculate the difference. Anyone have any help with this.
Thanks
