What a welcome sight it is! Gas prices dropped Friday to a level not seen in Lexington for years.
For the first time in close to three years years, gas prices are below two dollars a gallon.
They dropped in the morning and kept falling all day. One station on Augusta Drive was selling gas for $1.99 as of Friday afternoon.
Prices at the pump continue to fall because the price of crude oil is leading the way.
A barrel of oil is now selling for $67.81. Over the course of the month of October, the price of crude oil fell 32%.
The price at the pump has dropped by about half since it peak this summer. That drop is expected
to result in a staggering $100 billion in annual savings for American households.

Do you drive the same amount to go to work,school,grocery store or just about anywhere....I bet you do. So does the China man, the Europeans, and the Soviets. There is no demand about it, its the investors. And Bush is leaving office

it sure is great to see the price of fuel go down to below $2.00 a gallon(1.97 here in burton).But remember when the gas kept rising and then our grocery bill went on the rise(milk $3.19 gallon, eggs $1.69 dozen, ground beef $1.99lb,etc...) they(government)said the prices of food was going up due to the price of diesel fuel our truck drivers were paying just to transport our food all over the states! well, the price of regular unleaded has been cut in half, and the diesel fuel here is at $2.89 gallon, big difference from a month ago when it was at nearly $5.00 a gallon!!! Shouldn't someone be checking into this overlooked problem for us, the consumers, the people???concerned citizen

The reason I said I wasn't taking my mom to vote, I was being a smart a** because E. from Central Kentucky was acting like I was a dumb hillbilly because I am from Pineville. I would take my mom anywhere she wants to go and she knows that. She is 88 years old and we really should have got her an absentee vote but we didn't think of it in time.....Everyone has a right to vote the way they see fit.....
