Gas prices plummet to below $2 nationally?

gas-bendover1I found an article on Digg today (that was from Sunday) from CNN that talked about how the average gas price fell below two dollars for the first time since March of 2005. It really made me think, we as American’s have been getting bent over royally. But part of the reason is because we have been using so much gasoline that the demand is so high. It’s nice that as a country we have been able to cut back drastically on the use and dependency of gasoline.

A lot of people constantly bitch about how gasoline prices are so high and tend to blame the president and congress, but they must realize that we as American’s use more gasoline than any other country in the world. And if you think about the simple principles of supply and demand it all makes sense that gas is so fucking expensive at some points.

I have to tell you fellow American’s that I don’t feel as though I can trust OPEC to keep the price of oil down for too long, which means we will soon be bending over again. We need to keep it up as a country and start finding other means to get places that we need to go. Alternative fuels are going to play such a huge part in the future and it’s just a matter of time before our vehicles are running on something other than gasoline.
