So we're back to where we were on June 1 ... Yay? Watch this price keep dropping so come election day the GOP can come out and say, "look! we did something about gas prices!" Their friends got real paid in the past few months so why not let down the price a bit for a bit of 'psychological relief'?

Starting to bug me when people drive by some service station and remark, "wow, gas is cheap here." We just keep getting played like suckers. If gas went up to 8 bucks next year and then dropped to 6 would we still say "wow, it's cheap?!?" This is typical later summer dip in prices, look for it to skyrocket again if there are any severe hurricanes threatening the Gulf and/or around Labor Day.

Eh - it won't last. The underlying causes of the gas price spike haven't changed. Anyway, if you look at the graph, the overall trend is always up, up, up, even if there are short periods of declining prices.

I say that happens when it gets to $4/gallon.

Oh great, gas is going to go back down to $3 a gallon and people are going to forget fuel economy and go back to buying SUV's. Thrill.
