Thinking that $2.30- to $2.80-a-gallon gas is "cheap" is like being happy you had your leg cut off after viewing a decapitation video.

Question 2: how many of you are toting 2 kids around in your Prius or Civic hybrid?

QFT

I live in a very blue state where the polls show a ~75% disapproval of GBush right now... high gas prices being one of the major reasons.

Yet I'd say a good ~75% in this state drive a huge gas guzzling pickup or SUV.

Something doesn't add up when it comes to taking responsibility for this issue.

Agreed.

If gas prices were @ $1.75, Bush would have an approval rating well over 60%

I'd say closer to 45%-48%... some people are just cheap little whores.

This is awesome news. I've been noticing the prices going down, this is definitely going to help.

This is probably all temporary...so enjoy while it lasts.

however, with the discovery of more oil in the gulf, diplomacy efforts in iran, upcoming elections, a mild hurricane season, and a stockpile of fuel, all of these reasons are attributing to the lower pricing.

Cheap fuel has driven this economy for years, and I think Big Oil found the breaking point...

If I had to guess, you will see it hover around 2 to 2.50 with most people being happy.
