I don't think the word "low" can be applied to prices north of $2.50, let alone >$3.00
The price is high (by historical standards in the US) and it is staying high no matter what happens to the per barrel price of crude oil. I would recommend people get used to that. If there ever is any recovery for the 99%, next year, or year after that, or maybe five years down the road, demand for gas will rise accordingly and the pain at the pump will intensify. Look into alternative transportation.
