| Gasoline usage down in previous month; Prices decreasing |
| 2005-10-14 |
| NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Gasoline prices fell nearly two cents a gallon Wednesday while diesel prices edged lower, according to a daily report issued by travel club AAA.... In last week's report, the EIA said that gasoline demand has fallen over the last four weeks by 2.6 percent below the same time last year, averaging nearly 8.8 million barrels per day. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the decrease in economic activity in the New Orleans area. Some, however, is a reaction to the price. |

| #4 I got gas yesterday for 2.93, thought what a wuss I am for thinking 2.93 is a bargain. It's a feature, not a bug. |

| #3 Summer driving season is over; schools are back in session; it's now heating oil season. Gas prices dropping is about as shocking as the leaves changing color and falling off the trees. |

| #2 You'll be overjoyed to pay $2.50 after being properly conditioned. I was paying over two bucks in January of this year in the Tri-state area. The bad weather scenario fits nicely in this Free Market Economy. |
