"Cheap" Gas

When I drove up to the pump today, I had this little thrill for a moment when I saw how “cheap” gas was!  Under $4 / gallon!  I haven’t seen that in over 6 months!

Then it occurred to me how bad that really was.  I’m “gladly” paying $3.99 a gallon and feeling like I got a deal.  Hmm..  Is this market psychology coming to the forefront?  I have to say that gas at $4.80 a gallon made me stop driving places, so maybe this is just real supply and demand taking hold.

I don’t know.  I know that supply has been up and down recently, but this all just feels like someone has been “testing the waters” to see just how high the price could go.  A juvenile analysis, many would say, but you know what else “they” say - “Out of the mouth of babes…”
