Gas prices fluctuate, depending on the world situation and the whims of the gas and oil companies.
As far as gas prices dropping? They have done fairly well here in Newberry SC over the past couple of months. At one time, just about a month and a half ago, they were sitting at 4.55/gal. Today, I went and bought gas for the lawnmowers with my soon to be father in law, and the price was 3.86/gal. Saw gas prices in Columbia yesterday that were down to 3.60/gal.
Yes, gas prices are dropping again, and they have dropped almost a full dollar from what they were a month and a half ago here in the Columbia/Newberry SC area. I don't blame the President, I blame the gas companies for skyrocketing prices.
