Have you noticed the dropping price of gas?
Well, if you drive a car then you have noticed. I drive by five gas stations on my regular route to work and I'm constantly looking at where I will make my next fill up. Lately, I suddenly have choices as everyone is lowering the price. I know every Fall the price of gas goes down a little bit but the drop from almost $4.00 to $2.35 for regular is eye opening.
When gas prices reached criminal levels of $3.69/gallon for regular in my area, I was filling up at about $37.00/tank. I am not a SUV owner. I am not a fast driver. I keep my car in good working condition. Even still, I dramatically changed the way I drove and for what reasons.
Shoot.
I also started evaluating people by how much gas I was willing to burn to go see them/do business with them/hang out with them....etc. When I was a senior in high school in 1997, I remember gas was about $1.50. If you wanted a ride back then, I took you no problem. Today, I'm putting my hand out for some green paper or we are negotiating some other form of tangible payment.
I just can't take the hit in gas any more.
So, just when I adjusted my driving habits, I saw this article.

@madam....(nods head)
Yeah it'll go up when it's traveling season again, we started reporting about it again for real for real when we saw $2.07 somewhere. Today there was a gas station that's $1.99 for regular, and I saw on our feed from the network, there's a gas station up in Philly that's selling $1.49/gallon of regular.
But I'm curious, what exactly are these other forms in your statment "some other form of tangible payment"?
The price of gas will start going back up the day after the election.
