    What's up every morning on my way to work the price drops. Like this morning REG...$3.10 on my way home $3.05 within the day the price drops 4-5 cents a gallon.

    I milked it on E for as long as I could, filled up my truck with 23.86 gallons at $3.05 a gal.....$73.00

    This due to the election or what else could it be?

    Peace



    it's been under $3 a gallon for awhile here now. i am unsure just how long b/c if we fill up once a month, it's a lot...since we basically rely on public transport M-F. i think it's about $2.65 now...altho not 100% on that figure.
    Stay with me...

    $1.85 in the Indianapolis area, so for those no state tax on gasoline states, it should be close to $1.60? Are we going back to 1997 prices soon?

    Some at $1.69 here just south of Fort Worth, Tx.....of course by now it is tough to afford even that. Still glad we got the Kia, now we only drive the pickup about 25 miles a week. At 10k miles, very very happy with the Kia-getting about 38 mpg..hope it goes up a bit more with synthetic oil, and some hypermiling .

    $1.79 in cicero, ny.

    as cheap as that is, check this out: got home from the in-laws sunday morning (thanksgiving weekend) and had to fill the rental car up with gas before returning it. also had to fill my own car up with gas. went to sunoco and got the following: 19.5 gallons of gas, a sunday paper, and 2 packs of gum. total spent: sixteen dollars and some change. here's the kicker: we shop at price chopper and get 10 cents off each gallon of gas everytime we spend $50 for groceries. we saved the discounts up and when we used them sunday, we had $1.40 off every gallon of gas we bought, up to 20 gallons. sunoco price for a gallon of gas was $1.99, so we ended up paying 59 cents a gallon. i almost popped a boner when she told me the total.

    That's how it should be, you might be the only person in America getting gas that time at that price. Outstanding, Way to make that discount work for you. I think that's how the consumer should be able to work the system. It would nice if they had a setup like that around here. Filled up 3 days ago $1.69

    More From The Guy Who Told You Months In Advance That Oil Would Be $50 A Barrel:
    Lindsay Williams on AJ a week or so ago.

    Oil to stay at $50 for next year to year and a half.
    Arab world to go in to bankruptcy, after their plan to keep oil at $80 a barrel fails.

    Arab world can NOT handle $50 a barrel oil due to government money committed on assumption of oil in the $100 range.

    "Enjoy gas prices while you can. Live it up."
    America to "Pay The Piper" at that time (Arab economic collapse).

    Lindsay did NOT go over the US Treasury security market fall out like he did the first time. He just kept saying that we will "pay the piper" in a year or two.

    His original premise, told to him by an ex-Atlantic Richfield executive (where ALL of this info comes from), was that the collapse of oil prices, and subsequent collapse of the Arab economies, would lead to a massive sell off of US Treasuries by the arab nations. This massive forced sale of US Treasuries to cover Arab budget shortfalls would put downward pressure on the Treasuries market, suppressing treasury prices, and raising interest rates.

    That rise in interest rates, combined with the already predicted deflationary concerns, could lead to an outright horrible deflationary spiral, with rising interest rates putting further downward pressure on housing markets.

    Of course, i'm sure the guy is a kook!

    You Americans are a bunch of pampered pussies. ;)

    UK last night £1.08 a litre for diesel, that's £4.08 per gallon.

    That's $6.03 per gallon to you lot.

    I remember in July, OPEC was saying that they have no control over the price of oil and that it all lies in the hands of supply and demand.

    Now, OPEC is announcing plans to severely cut production Dec. 17th to create a false shortage to increase prices. They hope this implementation will increase oil to a "fair" price of $70 bucks a barrel.

    What happened to Laissez Faire OPEC?
