On the one hand I'm glad gas is going down; however on the other hand,
from the perspective of someone who drives gas-stingy cars, I was
hoping it would stay high long enough for people to ditch their
humongous SUVs. But I know I'm in the minority on that thought.
Agreed. My car only gets about 26 MPG, but I drive less than 3,000 miles a
year, so gas prices are not a huge concern.

I read yesterday that gasoline demand is down some 6% even with lower
prices. Folks are using less gasoline right now.
I am also amazed that GM has needed to buy a clue for so long. They got
into their current situation mostly because of hanging onto and pushing
piggy fluffed up trucks as single occupant vehicles. Now they have a
commercial touting that the piggy fluffed up escalade truck will be
offered as a hybrid. It doesn't matter how you power it, the larger it
is the more energy it takes to move it. They just can't get away from
making fluffed up trucks for use as single occupant "cars"
In my area of South Carolina, gas that I've seen is $2.34-$2.57. I filled up
today for $2.34.

Yesterday price was $2.95 at 12:30 pm. Was down to $2.91 by 3:45 pm. I
filled up on the 13th and gas gauge still reads full so no room for more
right now (I obviously don't drive a lot.) Northern New York
Maybe we should keep tighting our belts till oil companies really drop
prices. Can you believe only a few months ago they had us believe
there wasn't enough oil. Let's tell them we don't need to drive any
more since they made gas so expensive.
