It could really happen. . .

Gas could get below $1 a gallon here. It only has to drop 50 more cents.

I never ever ever ever thought I'd see it below a dollar again in my lifetime (or anyone else's lifetime, for that matter). In fact, has it ever even been below a dollar during my life?? Hmm, the lowest I can clearly remember it getting is around $1.20 in the late 90s, around the time I was learning to drive.

Anyway, sure helps to keep the sting off the economic problems. Although now I feel kinda unpatriotic for resolutely sticking to Japanese cars for the past several years, in light of the problems domestic automakers are having. Maybe if they can hold on for a couple of more years I can look into buying something from them. Those new Ford Fusions don't look half bad, and apparently they get 32 mpg hwy with a 4-cylinder and a stick. That'll probably be pretty important again by the time I get another car.

Luv, Davy

    Your gas is cheaper than it is down here. I went to SA Wednesday and the cheapest I saw it was $1.79. It's $1.83 here.

    It cost me $20 to fill my car when I first started driving. It was like $1.85 then. I remember refusing to spend more because to me, $20 was too expensive.
    .... I'm now back down to $20 and lovin' it!

    Oh, wow, when I first started driving gas was around 50 cents a gallon, but I remember the first time I noticed gas prices and it was 29 cents (in the sixties).
