Gas prices have plunged precipitously recently by as much as .70/gal.

It’s extremely “lucky” that this is happening as Trump approval ratings are also plummeting.

plunging gas prices means things are no longer being done in the USA. Parts are starting to not move. People are being laid off.

We did not just magically start producing more oil.

As well this morning. I was able to get a 12 Pack of Hanes “soft and durable” socks for 9.99 after all of my Kohl’s mumbo jumbo discounts.

$4.69 to $4.79 a gallon in my Podunk Sacramento Valley town.

We experienced a small gas war a month or so ago when a discount gas outlet opened up, but that passed.

15 cents or so in the past few weeks. Every couple of days they go up again for a day or so, then drop a little, we're at 2.96 at this point, vs. 3.05 or so.

diesel fuel hasn't dropped at all, if anything, it's increased by .50 cents a gallon in the last 4 weeks and it's expensive for truck drivers as we have BIG tanks to fill.
