Oil is down $16/bl. Yet gas prices haven't followed suit. You know what I have to say on this?

SUV and Hummer owners are a bunch of whiny little wankers, who like to think gasoline grows on trees.

Or at least in cornfields... :crazy:

alllllll the way down to $3.599.

But I'm sure it'll rebound next week.

here, but not significantly. I'm sure it'll only last a day or two again!

even in spite of decline in the prices of crude or immediate supply levels. The populace is conditioned to a higher price. It will always be taken advantage of. Naomi Klein calls it disaster capitalism.

Buscheney arranged for BP, Shell, Total and Exxon to at least start pumping there in the short term. This will crash the commodities speculation in the oil futures market and cause the price of oil to fall and the price of gasoline to fall.

It is a gasoline price gimmick for the September/October election season.

but I did see one place that went down 20 cents.

If I did not now live where I work I would be a whiny little wanker too! :)

Diesel fuel, I don't know what the regular gas is.

That's it.

go figure

They are always about 10 cents lower then the average.

I was looking at the calendar and thinking how interesting this timing is. The stock market has been in shitsville for months and was on an extended losing streak...wiping out value for many and hurting the speculation game. The market and values were falling faster than the price of oil was rising. So it was time to cool one and try to prop up the other. Note how quickly the market jumped over 250 points on the first drop and finished up for the week. I suspect we'll see this through the end of the month as money is shifted, temporarily, back into the markets, and then once the balance shifts back to making money off the speculation...you'll see the price rise again.

Also, the speculators are heading to "greener" pastures...food and other commodities that have gone up in prices as the cost to produce them have. There's a nicer return on an October call on Corn than on oil futures...especially when there's sure to be political pressure to lower prices to help Gramps in November.
