We've had cheap gas for so long that they think it should stay that way forever while they drive their low mileage SUVs and Hummers. It really has only reached $5.00 a gal in a few places. Right now it is still under $4.00 in NJ but we tend to be cheaper than the rest of the country. Also remember you are talking Imperial gallon vs. US gallon. It's good for us. Maybe the country will drive less and go out and buy one of those nice cars like Europeans drive that get 35-50 miles to a gallon. It's better for the globe.
Take care, Eileen
