I agree it won't last long.  If anything, they'll let it get that cheap for a short period of time just so they can say they did.  How bitchin would that be if they'd let it hover around $2 for a while though?!  I like being able to nearly top off a small tank when you drop a $20, not barely making a dent!

It's $2.36 here in Tucson. Where is the outrage toward the President now that prices are falling?

What would be killing me is trying to get my DD and trail rig home from the trail with a busted transfer case. Diesel is down around 2.60 here.

It's getting close to November elections, so miraculously, gas prices go down.  :headscratch: In 2007, prices will be high once again (insert any of the numerous reasons here  :greengrin:). Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the lower price, but I am a pessimist on this issue. :snare:

Sandlake is pretty cool if your willing to live with sand for the next year!  I still got sand falling out of places in my rig, and I was there 2 years ago!  The best thing to do is sit at the bottom of the bowl, and watch all the idiots on rails and quads play!  Nothing like watching a rail with 400+ horses doing cookies on the face! :beerchug:
