why do people still complain about gas mileage when the average gas price is $2.40 and as low as $1.88 in some places

 

Because its 2.60 where Ilive. And compared to 8 years ago (99cents) its still expensive.

But its better and im glad.

 

compared to almost $6.00 a month ago its dirt cheap.

 

When you take into account inflation, gas is actually cheaper today relative to in the 50's when you consider the strength of the dollar and wages people were making then compared to now.

The reason we perceive it to be such a problem is because:
1- All we see is the "number"
2- We depend so much on our vehicles and drive too much
3- We own Hemi's!

Either way, enjoy the prices while you can. If you think this is bad, I fear for you once this winter is over...

 

That third one is probably the biggest reason! (but is also way cool)

 

Gas is $1.84 here in south texas.

 

$1.97 in Northern Iowa

 

$1.91 in Houston area......but it will go back up. That's just the way it is.....

Enjoy it while you can. Drive the heck out of those Hemis.

 

$2.50 in western PA

 

$2.18 Here in NH
