Gas Crash or Smash: Nobody Rides for Free, but It's Getting Closer...
$3.199 out of town in Redlands yesterday; $3.199 in our town today.
Prediction: OPEC is going to go into a snit soon, and Chavez won't be mouthing off anytime soon.

you post these prices like they're good or something.
They suck. We were trained to WANT 3.25 a gallon. I ain't happy until we're back in the $1.90 range - they still got a dollar and a half to go for me to start feeling good.
what about them futures, Lax? How much were they charging us that last time futures were at $80?

Well... I wouldn't hold my breath for even $2.50 again... but I would have said that with more conviction 3 months ago...
Nope; when I started this little datastream (experimenting with blogging from my Blackberry), I thought it would be good for a post per week.
I could stick with that plan, but am fascinated when I have to post gas price changes daily or even twice a day -- in the downward direction.
"The data are what the data are," as a friend of mine once said. I'm not asking you to feel good about them or anything.
As mentioned before, I've got more than enough for a graph now, and that's the next step: a nice little illustrative curve.
As an aside,
What If -- gas prices subside, and the "recessive economy" -- as indexed, evidently, by the behavior of the Dow Jones Industrial and the wishes of the press -- what if the ecomony recovers for two weeks? What happens to the presidential races then?
