While we are claiming that the gas prices are still too far away from being fair for the consumers, the truth is that it took gas prices more than three years to rise from $2 to a record high of $4.11, but just four months to plummet all the way back again - and then some.
For the first time since March 9, 2005, the average price of gasoline fell below $2 a gallon, according to a report from motorist group AAA.
The nationwide average price dropped to $1.989 a gallon, down from $2.02 on Thursday. The survey bases its information on credit card swipes from up to 100,000 service stations across the nation.
Is this the country that we have always admired and loved?
