No, but I'm certainly enjoying the lower prices. It helps offset the higher prices on other things.

In California -- I paid $3.15 a gallon for unleaded gas yesterday -- one of the highest prices per gallon in the US. The price really doesn't have an impact on my driving as most of mine is business related and I try to be as efficient with gas as with my time which is far more valuable.

the price of gas has changed by pennies....hasn't changed what I do...I imagine it makes a great difference to truckers who make long hauls....

Somehow, the cheaper gas prices haven't been that much cheaper Southern California. They sure do rise quickly, though. Not so funny how that works.
