Call us old-timers, but we remember when you could buy a Whopper for less than two bucks. Now, the burger alone starts at $7 with no fries and no Coke. If that’s not a sign of a troubled American economy, we don’t know what is. On the occasion some good news breaks through the doom and gloom, like sunlight through the gray rain clouds, it’s always cause for celebration. We’re happy to report that gas prices are down, falling below $3 per gallon in some areas. It might finally be time to trade that gas-sipping Mitsubishi Mirage in for the full-size Lexus LS you’re daydreaming about.
