Wed., Jan. 21, 2015

In this Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014 photo, neighboring gas stations both tout $2.92-per-gallon regular gas in Richland, Miss. The typical autumn decline in gasoline prices is getting a big push lower by falling global oil prices. By the end of the year, up to 30 states could have an average gasoline price of under $3 a gallon. (Rogelio Solis / Associated Press)

A gallon of gas . Just wow.

What $1.66 doesn’t buy:

A comic book.

A gallon of milk.

A sandwich.

A movie ticket.

A latte.

A loaf of bread.

A beer.

Et cetera.

But it does buy a gallon of gas.
