Don't know how true some of the reasons for low gas price are now, but although the consumer is benefiting from lower prices the stock market is crashing in part due to low per barrel prices...Ford Motor Co., for example is seeing its stock take a hit, as the market is worried that the higher cost of the new lighter trucks, to enhance fuel economy, will deter potential buyers as gas prices remain low..It is all a game, but I for one own Ford Stock and am getting "kicked in the ass" right now...BTW, I used to fill up my first car for about $4 as gas was .23 cents a gallon!!!!
