Unfortunately, don’t believe cheap gas prices are here to stay for long. Already topped 2.30 in most states and probably go to 3.50 by year end. Wish the cheap gas prices would settle at 1.25 but that is a wish.

I’m sure glad gas prices have come down.

I’m not sure why gas prices are such a big issue with most people? I pay pennies for gas when compared to insurance cost, though that may just be in my region.

The drop in gas might be the most obvious drop in prices. But in a recession all commodities drop in price. Also food prices having been dropping quite a bit.

I suspect people will continue to conserve, at least for a while, because times are pretty tough. Cheaper gas doesn’t mean a lot when you don’t have a salary to buy it with, anyway.

A friend who works at a Toyota dealership reported that last week the entire HUGE dealership–previously one of the most active in North America–sold three cars. One of ‘em was used.

That doesn’t sound like Happy Gasoline Days are here again.

Economists are fretting that prices of food and gas are dropping, and saying this adds to the country’s woes. But for those of us who have lost our jobs or are about to lose them and not enough left in our 401(k)’s to help, that may be the difference between scraping by and not surviving at all.

@TFM – WOW. 1.49 that is dirt cheap! I thought NJ was cheap with $1.77 yesterday.

Shame our stock market is down at 7,500-8,000 to help it gas prices drop.
