  - who'd have thought we'd consider $2.00+ gas "cheap" -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 07:34 5
    - Wait wait wait... there are still people paying over $2 a gallon?!?! - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 07:36 4
      - I think the national average is still well above $2, was $2.89 in my neighborhood last time I looked. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 07:39 3

Actually, with them dropping this fast, I think a lot of people are pissed they were as high as they were and haven't forgotten - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 30, 07:30 2

- I think you give the public's collective memory more credit than it's proven it deserves. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 07:32
