that's what the 'doomers' say.

it's not so much a doom and gloom thing.

#1. it take the focus off of the US's need to be energy independant.

People get stupid. They only save, when it really hurts not to. One week of low gas prices,and people go "weeeee", back to driving the gas guzzlers. They totally forget just how fast and how high the prices went up last time.

Don't be silly-it was a random spike-things will never get bad again. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go sign for my adjustable, interest only 5 million dollar home mortgage.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Nope.  Math never lies.  24/1.95 = 12.31 gallons.  You probably have about a 15 gallon tank, so it makes sense to me.  :P

My truck would have to be above a half tank to fill up for that.  [laugh]

All commodities (including gas) are trending down in price, which is a sign people are hoarding their money and not putting it anywhere, thus not good for the economy. However, as others have said, if you planned wisely and are still gainfully employed (Sorry Speedbag) you're in a position to ride it out, or even make a buck.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room.

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.  The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. And in bacon.

Gas prices in NorCal still average $3.19 for regular unleaded.  Oh! the price we pay to live here!

$1.96 at the same gas station on the way home tonight. Makes me wish I had a 500 gallon tank in the back of my truck...
