Missing from the following article is the most-often used word I’ve been seeing lately when discussing gas prices on the decline - ‘PLUMMET’.

Gas prices that jump from $2.00 to $3.00 gal. are “edging up”. But when they fall three-microns of an ass hair, they use the word “plummet.” Haven’t you noticed that?

Gas prices extend decline: 5 days and counting

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Gas prices decreased for the fifth day in a row, according to a nationwide survey of credit card swipes at gasoline stations.

The average price of unleaded regular dropped 1.8 cents to $3.739 a gallon, from $3.757 a gallon, according to the survey released by motorist group AAA.

Prices have stayed below the key $4 level for some time now but they are still much higher from a year ago, when gas was selling for less than $3 a gallon. Current prices are about 33% higher from a year earlier at this time.

What’s the next logical step after prices start dropping? Why, you take the gas away, of course!
