4.00 gas in 2008 during summer and 4.00 gas in 2014 during summer is still 4.00. Doesn't look much cheaper today until the annual decrease occurs. Where is it cheaper today than then? I haven't seen any CHEAP gas anywhere.

I agree it hasn't got much cheaper if any, at least where we are, but 6 years of inflation hasn't affected it one bit. As gasoline needs continue to fall due to higher mileage vehicles and alternative energy vehicles (or even the threat thereof), I can see a pressure to keep prices from getting out of hand. Still think that sooner or later it is going to go up though.

Cars are getting more efficient with the same power as before. The motor in the car I have is the same as the 2014, except the 2014 requires 0W-20. The big difference is the CVT transmission, lower rpms on the highway yielding 28% better gas mileage.

Yepir. I think this progression will continue in the next few years. It will have to. Electric vehicles with 200 miles of range under 40,000 dollars in the next two years. Designed and made in the US by a US company. This is all good. Nothing wrong with cleaner air.
