As someone on the radio was saying the other day though: just because the economy is falling apart and driving gas prices down doesn’t mean that there’s any more oil in the ground than there was last year. This is just a nice little temporary reprieve.
On a side note, I actually bought a tankful of gas on Saturday for $2.77/gal, as it was the special “with car wash” price. I had paid for the car wash with a free coupon I’d received from the car dealership, so it was an all-around good deal for me.
