Is $2.00 per gallon gas really obsolete?

Ah, it seems like only yesterday, that I was complaining about the outrageous cost of $2.00 a gallon gas.  Grumbling, belly-aching, and glowering, I could feel my wallet get lighter as each precious drop of petroleum saturated my desolate gas tank.  

Wait a second!  The reason it seemed like yesterday was because gas was in that $2.00 per gallon range in 2007. Only about a year ago, I was seething about the exorbitant cost of $2.00 a gallon gas.

Oh, how I pine for $2.00 a gallon gas.  With gas in the $4.00 a gallon range, I not only wish for $2.00 a gallon gas, but would be happy with $3.00 or even $3.50 per gallon gas.

Unfortunately, it seems that cheap gas has gone the way of the Commodore 64, or even parachute pants... They were good while they lasted, but now have officially moved into the obsolete item list.

I am only hoping that next year I am not adding $4.00 per gallon gas to the obsolete list, because we are paying $6.00 per gallon.  If that is the case, sadly, my financial estate will also be added to the obsolete list.
