Gas Under $3!

[Derf]

As of yesterday here, gas ranged from $2.77 to $2.99. I think it's funny how now we call this "cheap," when the last time we saw these prices it was "ridiculously expensive." It's amazing how we adjust our mindset to accommodate for regular butt reamings...

And yes, I know that gas is still cheaper here in the USA than it is in much of the world. I'm not complaining; just making an observation.

Yep, when it was $1.50 people were swearing that they were just going to stop driving altogether if it ever hit $2.00. I hear people talk about how they're going to start riding a scooter, or get some ultra-compact car that gets 50 miles to the gallon, only to hear them talk down about people that really do those things only a few weeks later, as if they have some image issue at stake. It's sad.

It's not bad enough to completely change the driving habits of Americans, but it has made significant differences. Public transport is up this year in many cities, by something like 12% here in Philly. Driving mileage is down, I think for the first time *ever*.
