Did you notice the strictly decreasing trend since 5/15/12?
The newsman said maybe $3.00/gal by fall.

I paid $2.92 Sunday.


I paid "zip" today.

I got a pleasant surprise at the pumps today. I only paid $3.49.9 a
gallon. My last tankful was $80 and today it was $60. Me like this
trend.


Just remember, four years ago it was $1.80ish.


Need to keep things in perspective. Inflation-adjusted prices show that
gas today does not cost all that much more than in previous decades. If
you count in that the Iranians have been inflating the price by their
rhetoric and crazy behavior, gas is really cheap. Count the upswing in
domestic energy production, and prices should come down more. Certainly
if the Keystone pipeline morons finally come up with an approvable route.


Let see here regular in 1972 was 20 cents. Typical family car $3500
Typical home $25000

Now regular $3 and typical family car $27000 Typical family home 175000.

I see gas as 15 time more expensive, family car 8 times more expensive
and typical house 7 times more expensive...
