Default Gas Prices Dropping!!!

I was going to school today, and i noticed, "2.03 for gas" i was like wtf!!!! thats awesome!!! i havn't seen it that low in months. If it falls below $2.00 for premium, i will officaily not care about gas prices anymore, just as long as it stays that way! More drive time for the SS

i dunno if its worth it to drive to indiana for gas........i did that 4 times, after all of my driving and 5oclock rush hour traffic, at the time i estimated i saved 23 cents....once again

EDIT: i forgot to add, that my buddy said "hey dumbass, u just put over 75 miles ur SS, which depreciated the value of the car, so u actually lost money"

young and stupid ( last summer) lol

Still $2.13 for 87 in the northern chicago 'burbs. Should be under $2, IMO.

Just wait until summer comes around, then the price will go back up.

But so far, I've been paying under $2.00 a gallon for 87.

How come everyone makes a big fuss about gas prices going up like 4$ a tank but nobody is up in arms about price hikes on cigarettes, alcohol, food, and other products?

Because people would rather pay $2.00 for bottled water when they have perfect water at home. Some **** just doesn't make sence.

I could care less about alcohol or cigs, but today I did pay $3.12 for a gallon of vitamin D milk. Kinda high to me.

Depends on useage. I have a long commute. When gas prices go up by $1/gallon like they have the last couple summers, it costs me a lot over the course of a month (like $80-100 more per month).

Cig prices don't matter to me at all, non-smoker. Alcohol I don't buy very often either.
