The best part is, the demand drop was a huge part of the effect of the housing market going to shit. Reading around over the last few months it's the suburbs that had been hit the hardest with forclosures and sales of homes to move closer to the city for those who could still buy a home. Thinking about it, with MANY more people moving to apartments and such with the family mindset of a closer commute (myself and Jana included with our last move) I can see how this would be a huge factor. Large market suburbia isn't getting the volume as much anymore and I don't know if these lower prices will sky back up to the $3.50 or higher range again next year.
I'm going to be interested in Q4 fiscal results when they come out if the gas prices stay where we are at.
I'll also add, I wouldn't have any problem with another 5 cents per gallon tax by the state for more road money (fix those fucking potholes already) as long as that price as a whole stayed around or lower than $2.25. That, I could live with.
What else do people think has lead us to these prices besides the future trading numbers game? Other thoughts and directions you'd like to see with lower prices, other than the ability to pay .87 cents a gallon just one more time in your life! (I remember those days!).
