Another price drop

[bruinwi]

Gas has dropped to $2.49/gal locally.

While I think this is a good thing, it's rather sad that I'm getting excited about gas prices falling below $2.50/gal.

At the risk of sounding like everyone's grandfather, I honestly remember when gas was about fify cents per gallon. You could fill up a bone-dry tank for about $5 and drive forever.

*Sigh*

Doesn't it seem just a bit odd that gas prices seem to be dropping more precipitously than they ever have JUST IN TIME FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION?

I'm with you on that one! I remember going to the gas station about 1977 and being offended that the price had gone up to 50 cents a gallon! LOL! I took Mom on trip to buy plants yesterday and we saw gas at $2.16 - $2.19/gal. I was shocked! HUGS!

I know I feel the same way!!

it's 2.20 here. I remember when it as .75 a gallon!

I remember the LONG lines for gas in the 70's too...

"We drove gas-guzzling tanks made of steel and chrome that got only 15 mpg, using leaded gas, without catalytic converters, child restraints or air bags. They were rolling death traps that polluted the air and wasted valuable, irreplacable fossil fuels...AND WE WERE GRATEFUL!"

Goodness ! (Hello there)... I had no idea you were old enough to remember those long lines. When I started driving I remember passing up a station advertising 47 cents/gallon, and driving around til I found one featuring 42 cents. - LOL

I can't wait for the day that we never have to fill our gas tanks, yet we CAN drive forever....LITERALLY!

I was driving when it was under a buck a gallon. Oh no! Over a buck?
