Default gas prices dropping?

anybody notice the price of gas drop? yesterday gas from the local exxon was at 3.90 a gallon and this morning going to work it was 3.71. a co-worker said she lives in baytown and the gas over there was 3.52. anybody else noticing this? still needs to drop about another 2 bucks in my opinion. i remember the wonderful times when i used to get it for .87 cents a gallon

I remember .35 cents....people still complained then. Gas here is still $4.59/gal for premium. It may go down a little bt it will jump back up a lot in a week or 2.

I remember when I first got my license I could fill up my mustang with 92-93 for like $20-$25 and it had a 22 gallon tank.... Man I wish those days were back... Damn, I realized I am old...

I remember a few times when it dipped below a one dollar and everyone ran to that gas station!! Funny thing is that gas station is still open and go by it every once in awhile...

yeah so far it is dropping.
from 147 a barrel to 122 and from what i have read.
the dollar is growing and these bastards that bought oil to protect their money is
selling off.
if oil drops to 117, a huge sale will happen that will force the price down below 100
because way too much will be unloaded on the market.
