Are these the same people that report “unexpected” results each week??

If the prices unexpectedly don’t drop, that will be Bush’s fault.

If he makes it, and this communists will surely force it down, he will gain millions of votes. Everything this King Obama does is for votes.

Well, in two weeks it has dropped .20 from 3.99 to 3.79 (got gas last night). However, I think that may have to do with the reformulated gas issue we had here in PA. Due to all the “boutique” gas formulas each state has to combat smog in the summer time, the refineries were playing catch-up and we had some shortages earlier in the month. But a .50 drop in prices would be welcome indeed, although I am not holding my breath.

Well, since gas prices have gone up some $1.30 (at my local Circle-K) in the past 8 months, now I’m supposed to be a good sheeple and hail “THE GREAT O” with gratitude for a lousy half-a-buck???
Don’t think so.....

Uh, maybe the price is dropping because 10-15% of Americans ARE NOT driving to a job!

Yeah, it’ll drop in penny increments but it rises in nickle and dime increments.

My gas station (cheapest one in town) just went from $4.29 down to $4.15.

Sad....I was happy about the $4.15 per gallon price, thought I was getting a bargain!

Gas prices usually drop after Memorial Day. Enjoy it while you can because the price will go back up this fall.

50 cents, eh?

Pot + Frog + water + slowly add heat...

The oligarchs in charge are conditioning the unwashed masses to accept high energy costs. Send the ball to the top, then ease off a little, so the peasants will be more receptive to paying three times greater than what they would otherwise pay, had the government not locked up all our natural resources. The ruling elite will never release their chokehold on the American people—until forced to do so at the point of a loaded rifle.

‘cept BP announced a problem at an Illinois refinery...so forget the Midwest seeing a drop...it will probably go up.

I’m expecting a fire at a Texas refinery any day now.

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Gasoline prices have risen in April and May nearly every year in recent memory. I've speculated that much of the increase can be attributed to short-term supply disruptions and refinery adjustments as the EPA-mandated summer fuel blends are introduced.

I seem to remember posting this same point for at least the last four or five years.

Call me when there is a 50% drop in the price of gas. 50 cents isn’t significant.

It is NORMAL for gas prices to drop after a spring peak. Obama’s got nothing to do with it.
