It was $1.96 a gallon here yesterday. Hallelujah!!! In addition to lowering the cost of driving, that lowers the cost of everything that requires transportation - which is just about everything.
Why and How is this happening - lower crude oil prices and subsequent gasoline price drops? Previous cycles of lower fuel costs were attributed to decreased demand due to a slower economy in general. This time, however, the decrease seems to have more to do with increased supply - the Bakken formation in North Dakota, widespread and lower cost fracking in a lot of places, Canadian crude oil discoveries, etc.
Of course, increased sources and other improvements in the past didn't knock down prices anywhere near as much as this. My theory as to what is different now is this: There is a calculated move by whoever - our government/the Insiders who control things etc. - to do harm to the worst of the worst in terms of evil forces in the world - Iran, Russia, and Venezuela at the top of the list. All three of those countries use(d) oil revenues to promote terrorism, Communism, evil in general in the world, Maybe it's just a happy coincidence that our good fortune at the pump is also hurting the flow of oil revenue to that scum, but I prefer to think somebody on the side of good is making it happen intentionally.
