The fix is in: "Summer gas prices - as good as they'll get"
http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/25/news/economy/gas-prices/index.htm?source=cnn_binNEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- As the summer driving season gets underway, most Americans are enjoying lower gas prices than they might have expected when the spring began.
And experts say that despite oil futures recently falling to below $90 a barrel for the first time since November recently, the steady slide in gas prices might not extend much further.
But for the most part, the 7% drop in gas prices since the start of April is probably most of the relief that drivers can hope for.
Not all drivers are seeing the break on prices that the national average would suggest. West Coast drivers are still paying close to the same price as two months ago. Tight inventories west of the Rocky Mountains have kept prices out there high -- $4.28 in California, $4.25 in Oregon, and $4.27 in Washington State.

It's not cracked $4.00 for 1-2 months here since the initial "buzz" started about record-smashing gas prices earlier in the year. USA Today had a front page story over the weekend that many analysts are less certain about the prospect of $5/gal gas than they were earlier due to weak demand.
I'm sure that $4/gal gas will be back here at some point too. I'd love to see gas to be back down below $3 but I don't know if that will happen anytime soon. I feel as though we are being conditioned to accept higher and higher gas prices even as car manufacturers keep the MPG relatively low for years to come- or at least as long as people keep allowing Republicans and their corporate masters to prevent us from making any kind of reasonable progress.
It's still $3.71 across the street.
