Free fall

Just a comment: The only thing I've seen fall faster than the stock market this week is the retail price of a gallon of gasoline. This is not a complaint, just a comment. From kissing $4/gallon around here in Aug/Sept, the price now hovers near $2.50. This is the price I saw in 2005 when we were on a trip to Houston and watched the prices on our way south so we'd know where to replenish the vehicle's tank on the way back north.

As quickly as gas prices went up this summer in the wake of the rising per barrel price and then the hurricanes, I don't believe they went up as fast as they're coming down.

Again, this is not a complaint. And may it continue, but really, it has to level out somewhere.
