Awesome news. As gas prices fall, Americans continue to conserve:

Let's all keep it up and don't be tempted to buy a big SUV, even though they are deeply discounted.

Barbara will still buy a mid-size one, like the RX-350 because she likes them. But the new ones get better mileage than her old one.

Oh, all right. I was going to turn in my RAV4 for a big ol' Chevy Suburban but since you say not to, I'll just stay in my little RAV.

I agree as well. I'm soooo happy. I just paid 1.999/gallon for a tank of 87 today. Still lookin' for a good deal on a Pontiac Vibe or Toyota Matrix AWD to replace my 97 Explorer as a winter beater.

Every little bit helps. People should not get discouraged just because they are not perfect. Save whatever little bit you can
