That is about half what people are paying if the rent a tank.

I am guessing that is a function of having a choice over who you purchase from, versus buying from the owner of the tank. But I am only guessing; it can make a significant difference where you live and the choices available.

That was my point. It is lower than today. But I think we would do more to convince others of without trying to claim that as a low price.

On the other hand, since the price of gas has been CONSTANTLY ABOVE $3.00 per gallon for the last 21 months, and has been close to or above $4.00 per gallon for significant periods during that time, it is still comparatively accurate to say that the conditions during MOST of Bush's time in office led to low gas prices.

[thackney]

Comparatively would mean lower. That is not the same as low.

I’m done beating this horse; it is past due for the glue factory.
