I believe i read in the wall street journal that the big players think $75/barrel is a good price to them...so I guess only time will tell... but it is a nice break. I'm just over $20 to fill up and that's amazing lol.

Plus like the others said, the economy sucks and people are driving less. I for one have been planning everywhere I drive so that I can find the shortest route and not go out of my way. But yeah. Pretty low gas prices FTW. I wonder how much lower they will go.
From what a friend of mine who is watching the oil markets, not a whole lot lower. We are starting to see it level out right now from the crazy drops we have had in the past couple months

$75/barrel means probably around $2.10 or so at the pump (for 87 at least). Its not going to skyrocket like it did this past summer.
