Miracle on Gray Highway

[constance]

Last night while I was out, I paid $1.63 per gallon for gas. I'm going to repeat that, because it's so unexpectedly awesome that I can't quite wrap my head around it:

$1.63 per gallon

It was so awesome that I called my father to report it when I woke up this morning, and he launched into a rant that he's obviously been saving up for the right moment, about how They jack the prices up so that we saps on the frontlines can feel grateful when they drop to manageable levels again. I said, "Well, I'm living proof that that strategy totally works." I'm so freaking grateful I can hardly stand it. I'm so grateful I'm considering daytripping just because I can.

How much are you paying? If you don't mind my asking.

In July, $1.63 is about what we were paying *per litre*, so multiply by 3.7 and you'll have an idea of why people were complaining about petrol prices here.

It's down to $1.30-odd per litre now, and they're saying it may get down to a dollar again by Christmas.

$1.63 per gallon? That's a price for fairyland and the United States, unfortunately for the rest of us.

Actually, until I paid it on Friday, I'd have said it was a fairyland price even for America. I hope your prices keep dropping too!
