Let's hope that means jet fuel prices too.

U.S. Retail Gasoline Price Continues to Decline
The U.S. average retail price for regular gasoline fell last week for the third week in a row. Prices dropped by 1.9 cents per gallon as of April 7 to hit 163.0 cents per gallon, which is still 21.7 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. Over the last three weeks, the average price for regular gasoline has declined by 9.8 cents per gallon. The decline reflects, in part, the reduction in crude oil prices recently. Prices were down throughout the nation last week, with the largest decrease occurring in the Gulf Coast, where prices fell 3.1 cents per gallon. Retail prices in California remained above $2 per gallon for the sixth week in a row, decreasing to 211.5 cents per gallon. Average prices for the West Coast remained above $2 per gallon for the fourth week in a row, averaging 200.4 cents per gallon on April 7.

That's too bad. We will never develop alternate sources to oil unless it becomes economically advantageous to do so. I keep hoping I see the day when we start sending less and less money to the middle east every year, instead of ever-larger amounts. And the only way that will happen is if gas prices stay high.
