I just paid $1.99 for gas at Crown in Durham 55/54. I almost caused a wreck slamming on the break to do a u-turn. They ran out of regular unleaded, so they honored the $1.99 price on the mid grade.
Maybe if we have gas prices under $2.00 through Christmas, it will help the holiday shopping sales.  |

Everybody was filling up and on the cell phone telling other people about it. Not good to be on the cell phone and pumping gas at the same time.  |

I filled up my car rental in Indianapolis this morning for $1.81 a gallon.
While we're all excited about this return to sanity I have to confess that I'm obsessing over this whole situation. It's way more obvious now that we've been manipulated (which I always thought to be true). Someone needs to get to the bottom of this and find (and punish) the guilty.

It is a big relief. I feel like a weight is being lifted off my shoulders. Our natural gas rates are going down too.  |

The price of gas is low because the economy is shrinking. Would you rather have low gas prices and a shrinking economy or higher gas prices and a growing economy? I would choose the latter.

Just an FYI, that's just a myth.

This is change I can believe in. Our economy is really looking up in the last week.
