A Calgary economist is predicting that oil prices could slide as low as $20 a barrel in the coming months, down from $150 this summer. If he’s right, that’ll be one more reason why the road trip isn’t dead.

Got a call that gas was $1.99 per gallon in our neighborhood.

I demanded photographic evidence.

I just paid $1.94/gallon! Filled up for less than $30. :-)

Filled up for $1.89 yesterday!  That is definitely something to smile about!

This is fantastic news actually. We’re shortly heading to California and will be driving *a lot* during that trip, so cheaper gas is awesome. I’m also sure that air fares will start coming down at *some point*.

Hows this for targeted gas pricing? Harrisburg, Pa is two hours south of me and gas is $1.82/gallon. Here? $2.19/gallon. feel like we always get ripped off here and north of central PA. Talk about targeted fuel prices.
