It's already dropping. As soon as we tap into other areas of Alaska and the Gulf coast it will drop even further.

GM like Ford will have huge dealer discounts available on top of the factory $4K rebate. It was not unusual to see $10K-$12K off MSRP advertised in the newspaper on some of the more expensive models even several years ago. I don't see how this is anything new. However, Toyota putting money on the hood is. They have so many trucks and suvs on one Toyota lot north of where I live that they overflow out into the grass fields next to the dealer by the hundreds. Of course, no Prius or Yaris on the lot at all. There's a nice big hole on the lot where they would be.

Time to wake up & smell the coffee my friend. Just because the line on the graph drops a couple per cent now & then, does not mean we're headed for $2.50 gas. The line on the graph never continues perfectly upward.

As for the arctic & the gulf, it is not your silver bullet. First, it'll take years just to bring any of it on line. In the mean time, many of our biggest fields are being spent. And as the years drag on, more & more of the old fields are being spent. So guess what you have. You have the gulf & the arctic slowing down the death spiral ... not stopping it. You have the oilies convincing you there is no urgency ... no need to find an alternative untill they've made every last trillion. You have india & china out bidding us for the contracts that the oilies will sell to the highest bidder.

Gas will drop even further. right.
