    Regular gas here has yet to go below $1.65. I swear were are getting screwed here in PA, but it still beats the crap out of what we were paying.

    They just increased prices here on Friday to 1.49. I am happy diesel is going down. Bought diesel for 190.9 yesterday.

    Gas will go back up, there is no doubt about it. We can only hope it will not go as high as it was again for a long while. Enjoy it being under $2 why it still is.

    ya same here. with the gas tank i have in my comet, i had to stop to fill up every 50-60 miles. of course no thats its street worthy it goes down. watch when its ready to come out of the shop it will go up again. its just my luck. although it gets better gas millage than my 1991 cutlass.
