Gas $2.31 will it go below $2 this year?

I paid $2.31 yesterday at a Cumby's near work. That's a big drop in a short time. Will it go below $2 this year?

Diesel is still 3.40.
I wish diesel would drop as quickly as gasoline.

It was still $3.75 at the dock in Fairhaven 2 weeks ago when I pulled my boat. I'll top off at home by can and save over $1.50 /gal. Might take a while but it'll be worth it.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

As long as those tanks, choppers, and jets are moving in the Middle East, Diesel prices will continue to be ridiculously high.

Expect to wait until at least 2010 for diesel to drop back down near unleaded like it used to be.

Just called my home heating oil company - this mornings price is 2.65 - it was 2.55 a couple of days ago when I got a fill-up on my tenant's tank.

It went up on election day the dispatcher told me

Anybody surprised ?
