Lowest is good, when it comes to gas

When it comes to being lowest, I’ll take it when we have the lowest gas prices in the nation.

That’s where we’ve been since the middle of last week, when

Oklahoma’s statewide average fell to about 15 cents below the national average.

And we’ve been there ever since.

On Sept. 15, based primarily on hurricane fall-out, the nation’s average gas prices jumped nearly 20 cents a gallon, edging back toward that dreaded $4 a gallon mark.

In the three weeks since, though, it’s dropped 30 cents a gallon.

Oklahoma’s has too.

Here in the

Sooner State, $3.65 a gallon was about the high-limit of the state’s average gas prices during the latest spike.

As for where it goes for here, well, I’m not a betting man.

But for now, I’ll believe in the experts, who tell me that as long as demand keeps falling, so will the price.

So, we will see what happens.

If the market stays cyclical, we can expect prices to continue to fall until about February, when they’ll start yet another annual climb as refineries begin to shift their production from winter to summer blends.

In the meantime, though, enjoy!
