It is about time. All our fuel in most of Florida is barged in then trucked to the stations. The price always falls in the fall. Conservation keeps your money in your pocket.

wholesale price dropped as low as 1.86 on the CNN business news channel. That would put retail prices around 2.39--and end of summer and no Israeli attack on Iran will drop it even lower. We will see LESS THAN $ 2 at the pump shortly as economy COLLAPSES before the November election, this time blaming those DUMB-O-Crats--remember, you heard it here first.
