Gas Prices Falling

:lol:

yeah, with falling gas prices i might as well sell this car off and get an escalade or something i don't have to cost justify.

 

I'm looking forward to when the supply of Prii catches up to the demand!

 

Not me. I want to see demand that grows 1% beyond Toyota's ability to produce them (no matter how much they ramp up production) every year for the next 10 years.

 

I noticed the gas prices starting to fall dramatically as soon as big oil was called to testify before congress amidst allegations of price gouging. I find it interesting that over the last week to 10 days, my local Shell station has been selling at the same price as the AM PM (usually the cheapest gas in town), and a block from the Shell is the Chevron selling for 15 cents more per gallon.

 

Gas has gotten back to being so affordable that I just leave the parking brake on all the time now.

 

:lol:

Don't forget to put 'er in 'B' for enhanced fuel inefficiency!

 

Seems it's obvious to every driver in the nation except congresspersons that what we have here is old fashioned COLLUSION. Then again, we all knew this would happen when ole Coup-d'etat Junior barged onto the scene. But wait, news flash...Its all CLINTON"S fault!!! Anyway, Monopoly, Collusion, or old back slappin' good ole boys, it's all the same...Steal what you can from the many for the benefit of the chosen few!!! God wills it so!!! If she cared about the little people there wouldn't be any, we'd all be rich.

 

The conspiracy folks all go into hiding whenever gas prices fall. Happens every year. We won't hear about "Peak Oil" until the next price increase. That should come when demand peaks again ... next spring.

My prediction is that at the end of the year, the oil companies will end up just slightly above last year after seeing their "record profits" eaten up in the 4th quarter. That happens every year too, but the hysteria you heard from folks like Bill O'Rielly won't give you the full story.

 

Well, you won't see "Peak Oil" publicised anyways. People have been debating that for quite a while. Since the saudis et al guard their actual reserve figures so fiercely nobody really knows. The Kuwaiti field's peak 15 years ahead of schedule is interesting in light of that.

 

It is down to $1.75 in Narrows Va yesterday at a Shell station also at the competition across the street. The Liberty was $1.74 they are always cheaper. But heating oil has not come down nor has natural or propane gas. They have you every way you turn. Oil companies annunced BILLIONS in profits last quarter so to take the pressure away gas comes down after we paid the inflated prices for months ,now home heating goes up, it will come down this sumeer when gas goes up, We are screwed anyway we turn.....

 

You will also see how short-termed / short-sighted the memory of a lot of folks are with the return to normal sales of gas guzzlers.

I've even noticed the agressiveness of some drivers has returned to the norm also.

How easy we forget.

 

It's no coincidence... When the owner of the building that houses the candy store starts asking questions, the fat kids listen.

I prefer 'B' with parking brake engaged. Get the car up to about 70 mph and then 'Pulse and Grind' for 50 ft or so. :lol:

 

hiya schmika.

hmm, even when it's "cheap", it shouldn't be wasted! sigh--some of these ppl.

 

It's a trap.

 

It doesn't make any difference if it is cheap or expensive, I figure I am still saving money, and it is still cool to be driving a car that gets 54MPG B) , no mater what the price of gas is.
