Are the days of gas below $3/gallon behind us or do we think gas prices will ever drop below $3/gallon at some point in the future?

Boy did he know how to run an economy. As for $3+ gas, yes, it would be wonderful if we could fill up for $1.50/gal but it's not going to happen and that $3+ gallon does happen to help our economy because we're producing more and more domestic energy which produces jobs and makes us less dependent on foreign oil not to mention helping with the trade deficit. But it's not really the cost of a gallon of fuel that's most important. It's the cost per mile. That's why the CAFE goals are so important. When we can make a gallon of fuel go further, then the cost of driving can be moderated. When it's time to replace our current rides, we can look forward to an array of automotive choices that are more fuel efficient, safer, and cleaner than what we've ever had.

Its already occured. As long as Obama's monetary policy is to destroy the US currency, there is nothing stopping an oil price massacre. [Edited by: Hemond at 3/10/2013 4:12:21 PM EST]
