After all the money we've spent over there, it sure would be nice if we got cheap oil out of it. Hehe.

Today I noticed that gas here dropped 10 cents from last week. The station I go to is at $2.89 right now, which is where it was right around Katrina. I wasn't alive during the gas crisis of the '80s, I think it was around the time of the Iran Contra Affair. If you add proper inflation to the prices that were being seen then, it would have been $3 per gallon, which is slightly higher than our national average last I heard. Kind of interesting. Twenty years later and gas prices really haven't changed all that much. Of course, now people have all sorts of "extras" in their cars which eats away at their MPG, but thats their problem.
