Boy Our Gas Prices Really Dropped Overnite

[leftyladyfrommo]

We went from 2.429 to 2.359.

It is really irritating that the prices we paid for so long were so artificially high. But I am really glad to see them coming back down.

1. and with the Alaska pipeline down too?

somebody is nervous about the elections?

[Imagevision]

23. Especially with BP's Alaska pipeline probs!!! repugs=elections=cheap gas!!

They have very little else to brag about...

[blm]

2. Bush needs support and he thinks he can manipulate a few extra poll points

so the congress knuckles under to him - - again. Falling gas prices helps the election climate for GOPs.

3. I'd love to see some investigation on price gouging!

I thought I remembered hearing Spector was going to hold hearings about it, but that was a couple of months ago! I haven't heard anything since.

4. The oil companies will probably keep prices lower until November.

And if that's all it takes to fool American voters, then we are fucked.

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. I wish we had more control over these prices.

21. Comment

I was at the salon and a stylist was talking to two elderly women. She said something about gas prices coming down and one lady said something about the election. Then the other said that everything was going to be different after this election. These were women in their eighties or older!

:tinfoilhat:

26. It'll be different, all right.

Today, Tony Snow said, "We don't think Democrats are going to win." Period. They are going to lie, cheat, and steal this election. And, when they're done, I fear that we will see an unleashing of fascism beyond what any of us who didn't live through WWII could ever have imagined.

5. It's amazing when you threaten to investigate and oil company

how fast the prices drop and the investigation goes away. Amazing

7. Psychological stroke for public

More Gimmicks!!! It's just to make themselves look good in the eyes of the public, giving a psycholical stroke...hoping to gain votes in the upcoming elections.

8. Will we get "election" sale pricing on heating oil?

I hope so. It will be a cold winter if not.

9. Fill your tanks and buy oil commodities early November.

Then sell your commodities after election day. You'll make money.

[Justice Is Comin]

10. This isn't even half the story.

There is a company in New Jersey that has the technology to pipe hot steam into dormant oil wells and release the oil from the shale.

They are willing to do it for nothing just for a percentage of the oil that comes out of the well. They are confident they can get anywhere from 200 to 1,500 barrels a day from each of these wells. They have already proven it works.

The oil companies have thousands of capped oil wells that this company has contacted them about and not one has responded.

Did you know that? Now, how angry are you about the prices.

[nancyr]

11. Amazing, isn't it?

Odd how those prices just seem to have a mind of their own! If I were a bit more cynical I'd suspect foul play. But,nah, it's probably merely market flucuations.

[slackmaster]

12. I paid under $3 in San Diego yesterday

:argh:

Is anyone else old enough to remember "gas wars"?

[MemphisTiger]

13. You mean like us invading Iraq for oil?

Seriously, we invade an oil rich country and can't even get below $2 a gallong on gas. We suck at this war thing.

[RebelOne]

14. Yup, remember them well.

That was when the prices were only in the double digits.

[slackmaster]

17. I had an uncle who would drive all over town to save a penny a gallon

In cars that got around 10 MPG.

[AndyTiedye]

15. They Are Reinstating the Red State Discount in the Process

Prices are only dropping a few cents in California,
not the half a buck they have dropped in some red states.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. Whoa - that is wierd. I never even thought of that.

[renate]

18. just a few cents' difference in a blue state here

It's more than worth it to live in a blue state, though!

[newportdadde]

19. Let me know when they hit 1.40.. just 2 1/2 year ago.

or better yet, 1.10 back in 99 or 90 cents in Summer of 98.

It says something when we get excited about 2.35 gas doesn't? I'm in KC and thought the same thing... Wow! ONLY 2.35... I'm ashamed.

[MemphisTiger]

20. I remember when my boy was in office we had

$0.99 gas here in TN. I'm just sayin'

[Marr]

22. It'll be higher than ever after the election.

[and-justice-for-all]

24. I am still not voting for any g-d damn repukes!

[Imagevision]

25. When Bush is rendered lame duck, what will gas go for - Chevron

claimed they hit such a huge oil reserve yesterday that the US. would have to depend on the saudi's oil 50% less, (yes, 50%!)
