I bought gas for $1.729 today! I seriously doubted that we would ever see gas that cost less than two dollars, but we’ve made it. Of that, seventy cents a gallon goes to taxes.
My U.K. friends tell me that we have it easy, but a country this size can’t function without inexpensive gas. Cop Car reminded me that had the gas prices remain elevated, it would have given us more incentive to develop new sources of energy, and she has a good point. It’s too bad that we are so short-sighted that we can’t work at developing inexpensive fuel despite having inexpensive gas.
