Now the downside to the lower gas prices is that it is the result of OPEC's decision to maintain production this has lowered the price of crude oil lower than the cost to produce in the USA and as result USA oil production is being shut down and our dependency on imported oil is rising. The USA's dependency on foreign oil in the 1970's is what caused fuel price to double almost over night when OPEC cut production. Be putting the money your saving aside if OPEC guts our oil production again and shuts off the flow again you will see $6.00 dollar gas.
