Maybe it&#8217;s just me.  But I can&#8217;t seem to stop buying gas.  As the price rapidly plummets toward $2\/gallon, I find I&#8217;m pulling in just to top off the tank.  It&#8217;s just cool to buy gas that cheap, especially when it was more than double that cost just a few months ago.  Besides, it takes my mind off of my 401k.  And since the gas is so cheap, I pick up a couple of lottery tickets while I&#8217;m there.
