We can only hope that the oil price drop in the last few days is indicative of the accuracy of the article in Hitchhiker's original post.

Anyone want to take bets on pump prices dropping the same percentage as crude did this week?

Nope, my crystal ball's broke.

Do you remember this thread?

Wow! What a difference since hitting the road in September. At Flying J's I paid as much as $4.199 in Indiana (9-15-08) and as little as $1.769 at Seffner, FL (11-23-08).

The sources who predicted the price of fuel would "tank" later in '08 were correct after all.

Call me a conspiratorialist, but I think the gas prices were inflated to make us grateful of getting gas any cheaper at all. If it's $5 a gallon, then $3 doesn't seem so bad. I read so many conflicting articles about the high gas prices . . . none of them made any sense. It was ridiculous and a lot of people got really rich off of the devastation of others . . . .
