It almost makes me want to wait another week to see if the price of gas goes down even further - this is what deflation means; we do not buy now, waiting for the price to drop later.

Most foreign oil actually comes to the US from Canada and Venezuela--nearly 60% of our oil consumption. Random trivia factoid, but found it interesting.

btw, yesterday I filled up for $2.05/gal for premium--I think reg was about $1.81. Almost down enough that I can fill up for less than $20!!

one last note... saw an article yesterday arguing that the drop is just about over... don't have a link, but I'll post it if I come across it again. We'll see what happens...
$1.58 a gallon in Ohio right now.
