Gas prices...down!
Is it going this way where you live? We peaked over the summer around 2.91 at one point, it is 2.39 most places around here, and I've heard as low as 2.22 in a nearby city.
I'm likin' it!

I filled up the Jeep over the weekend...$2.91 for midgrade....noticed diesel at $3.45 and was sure glad the pickup was already full. Salt Lake city btw.
Seems like Utah is always quick to jack the price up but real slow to drop the price.

$2.35ish over here in my neck of the Houston area....
Maybe I won't just stick with finding a replacement v6 for the Camaro after all, if premium for the LT1 is going to stay somewhat affordable.

hope people don't get false hopes here. Next week for the slightest little reason,prices could go higher than they were before they started dropping this time. I am enjoying the lower prices,but won't be happy until they drop below $2 a gallon again.It is $2.49 here in Quincy,IL. Has dropped about $.50 a gallon in the last month.

There's a bunch of 'experts' on the radio saying that the 'low' prices should last til spring.

Are you suggesting price controls?
If you think that you can make money selling gas for that price, I sugget you get a bunch of investors together and get to it. Everyone would buy from you because you would be the cheapest and you'd get rich!
All kidding aside, Taxes account for on average about 46 cents per gallon in the price of gasoline in the US.
Also, when adjusted for inflation, prices are lower then they were during 1981. It just look more expensive because it's a larger number.
Anyway, it's easy to see my bais on this issue, but more reading can be done on the API website: http://api-ec.api.org/industry/index.cfm?bitmask=001004003000000000#
