Okay, back on topic.

I paid $3.99 this morning. It's the first time I've paid less than $4.00 in over two months.

Their psychology must be working. I found myself saying to the attendant that if it ever gets to $3.50 again, it won't be so bad.

I think the gas companies got us so used to paying over $4, that we'd now welcome $3.50.
