As I was driving home from work today I realized that I was beginning to reach that point in my gas tank where I'd need to start thinking about filling up, but as I was about to pull into my neighborhood I saw something that just about made me stop right there in the middle of the street. It was a gas station, but something was different...gas for under $2.70/gallon, could it really be? Now I realize that prices have been coming down, but the before today the lowest I'd seen around here was about $2.89. Well, needless to say, I filled up right then and there. After a little research I've found that gas prices have, on average for this area, come down a little more than 10 cents in the past week alone; in the past month its down nearly 35 cents, pretty amazing if you ask me. But, it does kind of make me wonder how long we've been padding oil executives' pockets. Either way this is a good thing for all of us unfortunate enough to a part of this disaster we call DC traffic.
