My budget has just been gifted with an additional 40 bucks or so this month, by virtue of gas prices dropping like a rock. On the fourth of July when gas peaked at $4.26 here I don't even know what it cost to fill my tank, because I honestly couldn't afford to try it out. At this time last month it cost me $40 bucks to fill my tank. Friday when gas was $2.16, I filled it from fumes to fullfullfull for $29.

Now that it's dropped to $1.97 it'll be even a little less! You know that's a cumulative drop in less than six months of $2.29! Incredible.
