^^^ Same here. I paid as low as $3.47 in the Atlanta area. The price of a gallon of gas was dropping almost daily. However, I'm confident in saying that the price that we pay at the pump was dropping at a slower rate than the price of a barrel of crude oil.

I call price gouging because gas stations are making up for lost profits inside their stores. People starting using their money for gas only and would not go inside to buy overpriced candy, 20 ounce sodas, or sandwiches. I believe the stations are making small profits off the gasoline to make up for the drop in retail sales in the stores over the past several months.
