The price of gas today, 9/8/06, is cheaper than it was on this day, one year ago. You can see all you want to know (and more) at www.gasbuddy.com.
Why are gas prices lower??
There may be many reasons for the recent drop in gas prices. During the past 3 years there seems to be a trend toward lower gasoline retail prices in North America during the final quarter of the year. This coincides with what? Christmas? Thanksgiving? Halloween? Election Day! This, of course is just my opinion, but all levels of government seem to work (or should I say function)best immediately prior to a general or primary election. This is why, with very few exceptions, I don't like to see anybody re-elected. I don't think that our founding fathers wanted politics to be a career. But then again, Thomas Jefferson never bought a gallon of gas in his life!
