You actually saw it before President Obama was elected in 2008. It was $1.83 at that time.
What they won't tell you, for example, is that under George W. Bush, the price of gasoline increased from $1.60 per gallon when he took office in January 2001 to $4.40 per gallon in July 2008, a jump of 275 percent.

Went to get gas this morning in Atlanta and it was $1.99. Now I can remember back in the 90's when I lived in MS that gas was below a dollar, but in the last 10 years I can't remember gas ever being this low.

Funny thing is that $1.99/gallon is still high based on the current price per barrel of oil. Should actually be around $1.60 with taxes figured in. When you consider that about $.50/gallon of that price is taxes and that really makes the gas cheap compared to the recent past.

meanwhile..over the pond...in the land of chocolate windows and marmalade rooftops...1,5 $ per liter. 1 gallon = 3.785 litres
3,785 x 1,5 = 5,677 $ /per gallon.
Take that Yankee Doodle....
edit: for reference sake....average monthly pay...is something short of 1000 $.
It is the smae price here in mo. And with my loyalty discount from my grocer it can actually be free at this point. I think I have somewhere around .40 off my next fill up.
