I would not really even consider $2.50 per gallon to be cheap.

Me neither.

$2.50 was my breaking point. I traded my 1/2 hour drive in my 12 mpg Bronco to a longer bus ride when prices hit $2.50. I do not remember ANYONE at that time who would have called $2.50 anywhere near a low price.

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.

(Eventually I gave up on the bus. I got too busy with some projects to justify the time vs dollars cost/savings.)

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.
