There's another thing I find puzzling. Many people seem to think that gas is going to drop back down to levels they feel are reasonable. Only once in my lifetime can I remember gas dropping a significant amount and staying there for more than a few weeks. It pretty much always works like this:
-Gas reaches $3.19-
Average American: "Oh no, when will it end?!?!"
-Gas drops to $3.09-
Average American: "Whew, now
that's more like it!"
-Gas reaches $3.29-
Average American: "Oh no, when will it end?!?!"
-Gas drops to $3.19-
Average American: "Whew, now
that's more like it!"
This is how it's been for years and years, and yet people still think gas will go down eventually. I don't understand that.
