Gas Prices

Today in Farmer City, at Huck's gas station, my parents filled up their car for $2.99/gallon. Under $3! Not to be dramatic, but I was in shock. It was fabulous. I filled up for $3.03 the other day. I'm pushing for $1.98, myself. But I'm definitely happy that prices are cheaper.
This article confirms that I'm obviously not the only one noticing cheaper gas prices. Find it here. I thought that this was a good article, because lots of numbers were thrown around, but none of them confused me. There were no percents, just dollars and cents. The article also actually cited the survey that evaluated the prices, instead of leaving it up to the reader to guess.
I remember filling up my '96 Saturn for under $20 when I was in high school and got my first car. I have a new car now, that gets good gas mileage, but driving back and forth from school everyday obviously gets expensive. So I'm thrilled about lower gas prices, as I'm sure most are. Yay!
