Every wed. was "wacky wed" gas was .99 cents. I hope gas stays where it is, or at least till christmas is over.

I'm glad as anyone to see it go down but it really has to make us stop and ask,why? We were paying over $4 just two months ago; has demand been cut in half or more? Dan mentions gas in the 60-70 cent range when he turned 16 in 1978 (the year i was born); when I turned 16 in 1994 it had only gone up by about 25 cents, it was in the 85-95 cent range, as I recall. And I did briefly see it at around $1 in 2002 at some stations. Why these massive increases and fluctuations just in the last few years? This morning it was $1.87 in Millbrook (Friday morning).

Hey, we can fill up the mower for a Lincoln and get some change! Last year at this time, gas was $3.10 here.
