Most Amazing Picture of the Year...
The only bright spot in a dismal year has to be this...

Last July I had my first $103 tankful. (4.48 per gal )

Today I pumped the same premium gas... $45. (!.83 per gal)



If someone would have asked to bet me a thousand dollars that gas would get below $2 a gallon again, I'd have taken the bet in a heartbeat and called the guy a sucker. I guess I'm not very good at predictions.

The biggest benefit is that I'm not afraid to, "get on the gas" anymore. I rip all around town with out a care about my gas guage!

It surely won't last long but I'm going to make the most of it! What about you guys? What kind of prices are you seeing and has if affected how you drive?

I'm getting about 250 miles or so to a tankful. Although right now I find myself topping off my tank even if it's only half empty. I'm so certain the price will jump $2 a gallon overnight.
