It's been nice to fill up as of late in at least one car for under $2 a gallon. And around $2.11 for 92. I'm hoping the low oil prices keep around this current mark, or drop a tad more. Too low, and I bad economics. Too high and people start to hurt again. For those who got used to paying $2.50+ a gallon, this sure is a nice break.

Anytime premium is under $2.50 I get happy since both my cars take it :)

I am loving this seeing that I drive the Blazer. But, since I might have to start commuting to Eden Prarie, I might need to find a econo-box anyway.

16-18 mpg kills no matter how you look at it.

I still remember when I got my license, gas was like 88 cents a gallon. Was wierd seeing more gallons than cost.

Yeah, it's trickled down to retail as well. I've had a record month of sales since the gas price dropped. Everything is selling.

This also came up the other night on a boy's night out. One of the guys is an environmentalist and made the comment that gas prices should be brought back up to increase the use of more economical cars. Funny enough, the two cars he owns are a Land Rover and a Porsche Boxster, neither of which gets over 15 mpg. Hmmmmmmmmm. I almost got into it but decided to just let it go. I'll have to suggest he trade the Porsche in for a Prius, I can get those for a song now that gas prices dropped. Go figure.

Pick up a few Prius and hold onto them till the gas hits $3 a gallon. :D

I got BP Amoco premium 93oct a little bit ago for 2.01 per gallon. First time in a long long time I have filled up for under $40 in the GTP. I honestly could really care less though. There is really no point in bitching about it unless you plan on not driving. Most people need to drive and will pay whatever gas prices are.

I have never not gone anywhere because of gas prices. When its low I fill up. Nor have I curved any of my spending because of high gas prices. Now if it high $5 per gallon I might change my mind. Sure its nice when its low but I am not going to lose sleep over it when its high.

Yes its nice the prices are down. But we should not bitch when they are up. Lucky now both cars take 87 so thats been a plus. When I get the Talon back it be a different story.

That'd be nice. I filled up with 93 today at $2.17/gallon.
