I didn't think it possible, but now that I've seen it I darn-well believe it! Let me explain:

I didn't start noticing gas prices until I was somewhere between 11 and 13 years old, right? If memory serves correct, the price of gas in my area was about $1.99. Sure, by the standards of the time it wasn't that cheap, but I never would've imagined them any higher than that at the time. (I don't think I need to elaborate on what I felt after I found out otherwise. -_-) The highest gas prices I've ever seen personally (as of Summer 2008) was $4.15. At that point I was pretty positive that the prices of gas were to either stay that way or continue to soar, or that they would never drop below $3.99 ever again.

Today on the other hand, I actually saw gas at $1.99 at a Valero about ten minutes away from my house! (*le gasp!*) And guess what? That's not even the cheapest price in town anymore. O.O

"Happy?" You darn-well bet I am! XD I wouldn't mind seeing them drop a bit more myself, but I don't think I'd mind it if they kept it at that price either.

However, I'm not holding my breath. If anything our "gas crises" has taught me in particular that wishes of that nature for any product that draws in big money rarely get granted. And if they do, don't count on it lasting long. (Which is a really sad thought, especially since I pride myself in being an optimist....)
