I wonder if someday a link between the run up of oil prices and the exposing of the Wall Street derivatives scam will be established?

Or was it just part of the Bush/Cheney bucket list?

Now the Democrats will do the painful job of raising taxes to clean up this mess while the Republicans set their sights on Romney/Palin in 2012.

The two reasons why prices are low right now is that there are fewer speculators driving prices up, and we have a surplus due to people driving much less this year. Once that's used up, prices will go up, but hopefully not as high as they were! As long as everyone doesn't start going back to their old driving habits or buying Hummers, lol

BTW, I've seen it as low as $3.19 here in the Tampa/St. Pete area.

Once the speculators are done and Bush is done wasting our economy, we will be a third world country asking Bangladesh for help for what Bush and Cheney have done.

Gas prices have been about $3.59 around here for a while...well yesterday I went to the pump and I paid ONLY $3.19!! I thought I had a real bargain, so I filled 'er up!! Got in my lil 'ol Ford thinking I had just conquered the world :D and turned to the left...hello, gas prices the next street over were $2.99!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Oh, well, next time I'll know! ;)

I do wonder though, if the price of a barrel of oil is the same for all, why is the price of gas different for all?? Is it the refining process? Overhead?

$2.69 here. I stand by my prediction of $2.50 by the election.

**Now I See** · 10-17-2008, 03:56 PM

Right you are obxeyeguy...it has felt like the gas prices have been creeping up and up until they found that they reached the limit, and now $2.99 feels like (and is) a bargain!

**CME4SPECS** · 10-23-2008, 05:46 PM

**Johns** · 10-23-2008, 05:48 PM

I paid $2.38 in Ohio today!:cheers:

**harry a saake** · 10-23-2008, 09:11 PM

2.73 here in charlotte, nc

I hope everyone knows the best time to buy gas is after 12 noon, reason is the gas stations know that people will usually fill up as they leave in the morning, so about 1.30 they change it to the lower price

**fjpod** · 10-24-2008, 05:22 AM

Two months ago, I was paying $4.39. Yesterday some of the lowball stations hit $2.99. Costco went to $2.87.

Americans are never going to consume less. It will go up again. In the meantime, it will kill alternative fuels. Such is life...

I was there! Where were you? Next time let me know...we can have a Costco hot dog lunch!!!

**Leo Hadley Jr** · 10-27-2008, 05:15 PM

So let me get this straight...........

Rising record fuel costs made our food, energy and cost of living more expensive, which caused a lot of people not be able to pay the bills, which caused the financial sector to crumble, which led to the stock market crash, which led to our gas prices to drop.

:bbg:

Seems like we should do something about them oil speculators!!!

**harry a saake** · 10-27-2008, 07:00 PM

2.55 a gallon in charlotte nc today

Recession and soaring prices of oil is killing my country-the Philippines. We had the highest inflation rate ever for decades now-the all time high 12.5%.Darn! I have stopped using my car since the weekly gas price soared. I am having the worst time of my life riding taxis and mrt which is by the way way way cheaper but eats alot of my time to and from work...
