3. Humans are so gullible
Mr. MG (a Republican, alas) tried that on me on Saturday--"See? Gas prices are coming down! Still want to blame Bush for that?" Uh...YEAH. The minute we're GRATEFUL for $3-something-a-gallon gas is the minute we've sold our souls to Darth Cheney & Co.

6. Most places around here it's still over 4, but I founda couple under.
First time since christmastime that my gas tank has been up to the 3/4 mark. :)

12. My husband and I were discussing this just last night
I saw a sign for premium at a non name-brand gas station for $3.91 and got some. But we both agreed that we don't expect it to go down much lower ever again, or if it does for the election, it will come right back up to over $4 once Obama has been elected.

14. Saw $3.70 today in the Denver area.

Prices are indeed falling. WHOOPIE, WE'RE BEING FUCKED SLIGHTLY LESS!!!

The cynic in me says it's shadowy right-wing-aligned moneyed interests dumping oil futures and gasoline futures on the market to force gas prices down just in time for the election.

The same thing happened in 2006.
