And you're probably correct, seeing as gas prices at many stations in this area dropped 35 cents a gallon late this morning, from $3.09 down to $2.74. Some stations remained unchanged at $3.09 late this afternoon, which is a mystery to me. We'll see how fast they go back up, but for now, I'll take it.

It shows how people get "conditioned" to higher gas prices though. A year ago I would have been screaming at seeing gas at $2.30/gal and now I'm happy to see them at "only" $2.74.

Gas prices have doubled in three years no matter how you slice it, that's a fact, and no matter what the cause, it just ain't right. Someone is lining their pockets bigtime at the expense of millions of people.

Prices have doubled and consumption continues to increase as well. I don't like the cost any more than the next guy. I am glad though that I'm not waiting in line for hours to purchase 10 gallons on designated days.
