If the Dems have their way, they'll go up.
If iy goes up, it's Bushes fault. If it goes down, what a wonderful job Pelosi is doing.
Won't be happy until Hugo has to wear a sign saying,
"will work for food!
Pure BS. Gas here in AZ has dropped about 12% since the summer highs.
Just paid $1.99 (1/20/07) a gallon here in Texas and just last week I 2.16, at least its moving in the right direction
We've seen $1.92 in Ohio and I haven't checked COSTCO yet, they're usually the cheapest.
Paid $1.95 a gallon this morning in Central New Jersey.
Oh Hush ... $2.58 at Costco on Thursday. Here in the socialist republic of say WA?
I guess I don't see the nuance between fall and plummet.
sounds like time for a tea party if ya know what I mean
Which probably reflects the local, state, and federal taxes per gallon.
$1.97 here in Huffman , Texas.
That didn't occur to me when I read the title (Still too early in the morning), thanks for pointing it out
Claire McCaskill: Just look at the gas prices. Look at the manipulation of the gas prices. I'm not sure anybody in Missouri believes these gas prices are going down for any other reason than that we're having an election. And I'm sure most people know they're going to go right back up after the election's over. That is because there are five companies that control all of the oil in this country.
Your new senator from Missouri, in a debate with Jim Talent before the election.
I hope those that voted for this dolt in Missouri are now happy.....Maybe she can give Patty Murry a run for money as the "Queen of Stupid" in D.C.
Well... cost is not a downward pressure on price. The only downward pressure on price is competition.
As cost to the supplier goes down, price will stay the same as long as people continue to pay that price. There's a certain inevitability though, that competitors will start shaving the price down in order to attract more customers.
Remember now, us happy workers in the People's Republic of Washington have to pay that additional $.12 per gallon gas tax foisted upon us by our Democrat AND Republican legislators in 2005. The price of our gas will never go down to what it was prior to the large price increase in crude oil. Unless, of course, the price of crude oil goes way down.
$1.89 in Louisville, KY today.
That's what we're being told NOW, now that the price of crude is falling. But when crude goes up and we get gouged at the pump, the price of crude is the controlling factor.
Lies on top of lies ...
Exactly various forms of government makes at least as much as the oil compays do in TAXES..
TAXES on one of the most important drivers of any economy.. ENERGY.. Taxes on energy that ADD NOTHING but only forces prices up.. They get you at the pump and get on the price of ANYTHING retailed..
Taxes on ENERGY(all forms of energy) is the most parasitical tax of all..
It should be outlawed and made a felony to make a law taxing energy in any form..
Maybe a hanging offence and a Constitutional ammendment..
