If there is a linear relationship between the price of gas at the pump vs. the price of light sweet crude oil (as there was when the gasoline prices were going up recently), then the retail price of gasoline should drop by approximately another 20 - 50 cents per gallon.

Either way they attack. According to a couple of articles I've read (Time was one I believe), the Israelis believe that President Bush or a President McCain will be more supportive of an attack on Iran than will a President Obama. Made sense to me that they would think so, whether true or not remains to be seen.

Back on track, I should note that when the price of a barrel of oil dropped $10 from the $147 figure, our prices went up 10 cents, so we're a bit behind it looks like on going down!

Gas is dropping fast !!! Yay ! !

Oh for crying out loud people . . . so what, if the all mighty oil drum drops a little ... afterwards? It goes up ~ and up ~ and up ... then it drops a little ... then up, and up, and up ... and so on.

Ever looked at the price of GOLD over the past 10 years? or housing? or the Fortune 500? My God, it's freaky how the 30, 60, or 90 days of dropping gets folk's panties in a bunch. It's just the nature of the game. Status quo. Oil has peaked. Does that mean there won't be downward hikes? duh. After the next $1.00 run-up, go buy you SUV back, if you think otherwise. (shaking head). Don't get me wrong, I like paying $29 to fill the prius instead of $32 but that doesn't mean I don't see the big picture.

Yes penbed, Montana does have tourist. Or did you mean tourists. When taking jabs at Montana (in good humor of course), one ought to spell correctly ... especially if they're from the land of "Chiggers" & "no-seeums" and the like . . . You don't get out of Arkansas much? Never heard of Glacier National Park?

Good! That means I can continue kayaking with less tourists, and Lake McDonald here, up at Glacier will remain peaceul

Part of Yellowstone is in Montana. And yes, it has tourist"s". Maybe you never heard of that either? Or Flathead lake? . . . the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi? Too bad. Some kidding aside, my wife's parents just moved to Arkansas . . . (the land of Tornadoes). "Very sophisticated" according to my wife:

All that kidding said, I too, have been busted, where I'll knock someone's spelling, only to spell badly, etc. Gotta keep your words soft and sweet, lest you have to eat them. Or should I say eat 'um.

The US government has told Israel that when oil drops close to $100 a barrel they have a green light.

My tin foil hat told me so.

I bought a tank in Hickory NC for $3.77, then drove on a mile and saw it for $3.44 - an 'ol fashioned gas war!

Yes,
I remember,I also remember President Regan pulling out of Lebanon after the barracks attack.
Please do not mistake my intent,I was simply curious of the time table.
I think yes, President Bush or a President McCain would be more supportive.
I also think Israel would believe a President Obama would be "weak" on the international stage.
To Israel it will be "as needed,when needed" period.

$3.39 in Des Moines ! Here's to a quick end to the McBush farce! 894 out of 899 in your class speaks volumes.
