Want some GOOD news? Oil down under $100 again.
$99.43 per barrel at 12:03 EDT. Down $7.49 today in trading.

Mostly due to a stronger dollar today and down economies around the world including the US.

3. I did notice a difference at the pumps here, but then again it could have been for another reason.
I have to admit that the pricing of oil and how it affects the price of gas is something I'm not an expert on, though. lol

4. True for the most part
I do know that pipeline that got shut down to the Southeast didn't help. But I will still take the lower price per barrell.

2. I noticed gas fell a good deal in my neighborhood lately.
It was only $3.50 when it had been closer to $4...

5. The bad news: The lower prices for crude won't translate into lower prices at the pump

7. A "Stronger dollar" ? Stronger relative to what? A pile of dog poo?
