Cheap gasoline is a real psychological boost. It’s not a huge deal in most folks’ budget, but so rare to see something getting cheaper.

Cheaper fuel affects the price of EVERYTHING. UPS fuel surcharges should go away, farmers spend less growing stuff, folks on oil/propane in the north save big in winter (propane was over $5 last year), air fares go lower, even the plastics and other oil based products go down in cost. Even if all of this doesn't make its way to the consumer directly in the form of lower prices, the producers are now getting a bit of wiggle room.

God bless the frackers, even if Caliph Baraq is getting credit for it.
