Gasoline prices dropped over 30%
I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread yet.
87 octane here has been up to $3.40ish in the last 2-3 months. Yesterday, I saw $1.99 a gallon.

I'm happy about the gas prices...my luck is funny though. Now that I'm at school I only drive ~80 miles/week on weekends...when the gas prices were up I was driving that in one to two days. Oh well hahaha....

I would like to see someone go after big oil for gouging the public. Why is it that during the summer (the US travel season) there is a huge oil shortage and gas prices shoot to higher than ever prices....But now that fall has come it is dropping exponentially? I thought there was a shortage?
*sarcasm* What did they just find more oil somewhere?

They have found that the only thing that directy correlates to bush's approval rating is gas prices, not the war, nothing. American public doesn't care about the other **** because it doesn't effect them
