Please remember that the cost was less than $2 a gallon on Jan 20 2009.

And we might get an anomaly like that again, in the future.  Fluctuations, both up and down, are normal.  But, IMO, the overall trend is--and will continue to be--upward, and I think there are few who would argue otherwise.

Even though fracking has made our own American gas the lowest priced in the world not to mention less polution, I think we should shut down all drilling and continue to suck up oil from the middle east.  Yeah and the government should give us grants to cover 50% of the price of gasoline, something like the food card but to be used at the pump.  Or give me a propeller and a solar panel so I can strap it on my hood and power my truck.

What a splended idea ... a gas stamp card for every family including illegal aliens ... but it should be 75% coverage and with the advantage card for Giant Eagle the other 25% could be covered thru Fuel Perks.  :laugh:   ;) ;D ;D ;) :laugh:

I have a Sunoco receipt from March 9, 2008 and it clearly states that I was paying $3.22 per gallon on that date.

Possible and probable, there was a spike in gas prices in late 07 early 08. But they dropped back to 1.89 in Jan 09

Since I don't drive, I don't pay much attention to gas prices.  But, I had the impression that the $1.89 price was a downward spike in gas prices, that had regularly been $2.50+ since 2005 or 06. ???
