I was told it would be $8 a gallon by now.

I was also told I'd be living in an Obamaville, along with hundreds of millions of other Americans.

gas would never be under $4 again.

I've heard that $4 figure many times.

Wind will probably never run out nor will solar power but oil is not infinite.

But it will never run out in your lifetime or mine and I have no idea how old you are.

... I have seen here in north Texas.

It's always a bit more in CT. We have such high state taxes.

Enjoy it while it lasts - when they run innovation out of the market, the price will rise
again.

You know it will go up again. It always does.

in Springs.

But since it was about 9 degrees at the time, I decided the gas in the tank will have to last a while (it was over 1/4 of a tank and I don't drive much) and I will just hope that it does not jump way back up before the temperature does!!!!

for some reason. Just by a few cents.

Hope that is one promise he will keep.

I needed over half a tank, so gave the clerk $40, expecting change, but it was only around $18. And New York is still one of the priciest states for gas, though it varies widely. Missouri still has the lowest gas prices in the US. I follow - and use - GasBuddy to find the best prices.

multi purpose price war just like the late '70's. Collapse the price of oil and sink the alternative energy culture. Sure this may take out Keystone and fracking but it will also destroy marginal wind, solar, and geothermal start up alternatives. Once you stampede the herd it is tough to get them back together. Electric car? Take the bus? Ride a train? Why bother? Maybe I am cynical but I have seen this movie before and I remember how it ended.

Imagine how much further along we would be if the solar panels had been left on the Whitehouse and we had continued with investment in alternative energy. Imagine high speed train corridors up and down the East coast, West coast and East to West, electric ZipCars available at the stations. Instead we got a BS about a "Shining City on a Hill" and business as usual.
