Labor Day Drivers To Enjoy Lowest Gas Prices Since 2004

Source: CBS DC

It has been more than a decade since US drivers paid so little to fuel up for that last road trip of summer.

The national average price of gasoline fell to $2.44 Thursday, nearly $1.00 a gallon cheaper than last year.

What happened to that $6 to $8 gasoline we were to have under Obama? My wife and I reflected on this as we drove by the $2.19 price board at our local gas station.

and it has been 10 years. They are always slow to drop it but as soon as Trilby Lundberg starts yapping, they shoot the price up immediately.
