Given the volatility of our current market, one wonders how low local gas prices will go before bottoming out. In August we peaked at roughly $4.19 for regular unleaded. Mel and I filled up last night in Ellijay (about an hour north of metro Atlanta) for $1.89.
Say what? Yea, that’s a $2.30 drop in less than 3 months. A small bit of comfort at the pump when the rest of our economy is circling the drain but I’ll take it.
ETA (12/8/08): Regular unleaded is now $1.59
