Already costs me $42 to fill my tank...I don't think I will let it drop past the half...that is too much money for me at one time.

Just means you'll be filling it more often. The only way around it is to drive less if that's possible for your situation. Or possibly carpool with someone. I may start looking into carpooling myself, or working from home one day a week. It's outrageous.

The price of gas may drop 31 cents immediately here.
Washington state is debating dropping the gas tax for the time being to ease the cost.

Where did you hear about this? You know, the gov't could drop the tax, but the refineries could do something too...bastards.

I heard about the tax drop on the news this morning too. Q6 was what I was watching. Said it would be a temporary thing. We'll see.
