It hasn't been as long as you might think since you last saw $2.99 on the sign at the gas station. In fact, less than a year. According to GasBuddy.com, last January prices in Des Moines dipped below $3. Go back further to Christmas 2009, gas was less than $2.50. AAA reports the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is five cents less than last week and 15 cents less than a month ago. Crude oil prices dropped last week but were back up to near $98 a barrel by Monday night.
