Gas Prices

I know that $2.50 a gallon for gas is still expensive but it is nice to see that the price of fuel has gone down. We filled the truck last night and it took $33.00. Granted, the tank was only at half a tank but I remember last year the same amount of gas would have been close to $50.00. I am hopeful that gas prices will continue to go down. Some say it is all tied to politics. What do you think?
