Gas prices where I am stalled a couple of weeks ago and have now dropped a couple of cents.

Funny how gas prices slow down when we start paying attention.

It's like they are based on nothing but the bottom lines of oil companies.

Iran is still there.

Granted, it's been stalled there for a week or two, more or less. $4.39 at Costco, where I bought gas. High price appears to be at the local casino, which advertises "consistently the lowest gas prices in the region." They're asking $4.54/gal today.
