Regular seems to be in the 2.60's for regular and falling. (should be 2.80's for premium but that varies) Seems like there is a down trend for now. That's good news for us.

I almost caught myself getting somewhat excited over seeing regular for $2.49 & premium for $2.67 in Ohio over the weekend. It's been in the $2.68 range here in Central Indiana for regular and $2.88 for premium.
I quickly caught myself though and immediately began frowning as I was filling my car up

Remember, with inflation, $2.50 may not be that bad of a deal. Of course, inflation sucks hard, but that's not the fault of gas stations/companies/etc. The government is the one that inflates the currency.

Gold right now is worth $615.30/ounce.
A gold double eagle coin has about 1 ounce of gold and a face value of $20.
That means that a gold "dime" is worth about $3.
US average for gas is about $2.82 as of yesterday.
That means that gas is about 9 cents/gallon for premium in real money. Last may, it was about 10 cents/gallon with gold around $700/ounce and gas at $3.50/gal.
Just FYI...

I still have the interview that the Today show's Matt Lauer did with the CEO of Exxon a few months ago burned into my memory. When Matt asked him if they were going to offer any relief to us, the CEO basically said "they were in the business to make money and had to look out for the stockholders of the company".
Now if that doesn't suck then what does?

If you can't get a $20 gold coin for $20, is it really worth $20?

What sucks is the things which actually make the prices high:
Nations which invite these companies in to build oil wells... then steal them at gunpoint and sell us the oil at jacked up prices, using the proceeds to fund terrorism. Environmental regulations which prevent the drilling of domestic oil and the construction of refineries. Taxes.

after september 11th in 2001, where i live in NJ, gas was under $0.99/gal for regular. 5 years later, it's over $3? there is no justification for that kind of increase. again, $2/gal is still ~$0.60/gal more than we should be paying.

Gas will be coming down but after Christmas expect it to go up, government is doing this to look good for the november elections. Believe me, I hope it stays cheap but it doesn't seem too likely with our government.
