All I know is that gas has dropped 60 cents over the past month, and some people only have a short-term memory, so they'll view this as a big improvement.

Well, it IS a big improvement in the short term, though in the long term we are still paying a lot more than we used to.

Definitely.  However, emotional impact is relative.  I remember being able to rub a couple of quarters together per gallon of gas.  The $1-plus 8 years ago was high compared to what I use to pay, but I (we) got use to it.
