Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

And by then the barrel prices may go back up so we may never get a real benefit. Stupid freaking system. Where's my water-powered car??!? |

I paid $4.63 up here in Alaska yesterday. BUt that was for premium which is only 90oct, plus the torco fuel additive I have to use which is an extra $10 bucks a fill up. Driving a highly modified car up here really sucks it out of you. |

I hear ya, I get so psyched when I see a station have a sign saying 3.84cash/reg or 3.89credit/reg only to pull in to 4.27 for 93.

The price of a barrel of oil never had anything to do with the price of gas. It's what the consumer will pay in the area your in. Wholesale gas has fallen 50 cents in the past month. That means more for the middle person and higher prices for the consumer. You all need to drive more and the price of gas will go down. It's all about over supply of gas not the illusion your told. Most oil that comes from the US goes to other countries. The middle east supplies our oil, makes sense Huh |

Isn't it amazing when the price of oranges can be directly tied to a bad or good crop, but no one can definitely say why gas prices wildly fluctuate regardless if oil is up or down? You hear everything from supply and demand, to production issues or refineries not putting out enough to meet the demand, to greedy oil companies or speculative futures. Good God Almighty! I mean WTF???? |
