I know none of the pundies on teevee this morning pump their own gas,

But gas at the station I frequent most is down 5 cents per gallon.

Just an anecdote, I know, but the first decrease in a very long time. And I live in red country.

But the pundies are making lots of money throwing their arms around shrieking about recession, so...

I am reminded of an economic phrase from one of my favorite movies, "all will be well in the garden."

/rant off.

aka Chauncey Gardener.

I think often of that movie when I think of some of the people in politics running for office like the Georgia Senate race.

Looks like most in the immediate area are down between 7 and 15 cents. I am in the Philly burbs. A lot of stations here flirted with $5.00 and above for a few days, but have gone back to $4.99 and below since last week.

One big drop of about 40 cents (the day after I filled up), and then a couple of small drops of a few cents each.
