I have yet to figure out the relationship between the economy and gas. As the bottom fell out of the stock market recently, the gas prices dropped. When the stock market was up up up, so was the price of gas. Shouldn't it be the other way around? As the economy struggles, wouldn't the price of gas go up? Does that not make sense? Or is it because no one has money, the gas prices go down. This is probably why I would never pass an economics class (be it high school or college).
The only reason I was thinking about this today is that gas is below two dollars a gallon today. It went down to one dollar and ninety nine cents. I filled up yesterday at two o' five thinking that as the stock market rallied earlier this week, gas prices would go back up again. Guess not. It went down again. What the hell?
I just don't want to think about it too much. It hurts my head.
