I have seen as low as $1.85, but averages are slightly over $2.

Switched to an economy car for much of my daily driving and my fuel expenditures have dropped so much that it's like I can afford to plan trips more frequently, and projects which involve hauling stuff.

I am. Now factory I g lower costs on commenting, construction projects,more which is farther rom home, bidding jobs that I would normally not risk travel expenses to go see. It was hurting to drive 35 miles each way to go look at of bid a job in my 12mpg truck at $4.50 per gallon.

Landlords and real estate types were jacking prices in the middle of the city because of commute costs as they searched for the pain threshold of what people could afford, especially once people gave up cars. I tried the bike commuting thing. I spent twice the money on food and was glad to have kept my car at the time, since I saw rents in my area go up, and taking a good bike on the bus always scared me. If I forget it when rushed off the bus, the whammy, that's a few hundred bucks.

If gas prices stay down, I don't see how grocery prices would be remaining the same since they really tie into fuel prices, but there is a delay on that of several months.
