I remember not too long ago when if someone so much as sneezed in the Middle East... the prices of gallon of gas would go up.

We were told because it was of uncertainty and possible war which would limit the supply.

Fast forward to today....

We now have mass chaos in the Middle East with Syria, ISIS, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Russia in Syria, etc... The world is getting close to the brink of World War III

And prices of a gallon of gas is going down???

I’m sure our adding a stable supply to the system has helped matters.

Seems we’ve been living a lie for the past 30 years put on by the “peak oil” anti-drilling leftist loons.

Drill, baby, drill!!! (While perfecting alternatives for the future.)

I just spent last week going across AZ, NM, OK and Missouri and then returning.

1.99 was the most I paid and often it was 1.85 or lower.

Yep. Fracking. As far as we’re concerned the entire ME can go frack itself.

Once they get people used to the new health care premiums and huge deductibles you will see the price of gas creep up, little by little, until they get it back to the $3.00 range.

Never been much of a conspiracy theorist, but I swear it looks more and more like all the powers-that-be are in cahoots to keep taking a high percentage of our wealth from us. A little from here, a little from there. Then, less from there and more from here. Etc., etc., etc.

I wonder how long it will take for pigs in some state governments slap a big tax on the cheaper gas?

Oil has dropped by half. Here in MD prices at the pump have not.
