7. I live in No. Georgia just northwest of Atlanta.
And some of the stations have dropped prices 10 to 20 cents since yesterday. There were prices of $2.89 and they have dropped to $2.66 to $2.78.

10. This AM I read gas was below $70/bl again...
Will gas stations be just as quick to lower prices as they have to increase them? Or is that too fair for the customers?

At $70/bl, nobody in Twin Cities area should be over $2.699/gl
