Gas Prices

Gas prices have conveniently come down .50 cents right before the election. That's odd? Not really when you realize Obama has made a deal with oil producing countries to help bolster his failed approval ratings. Some say it's because the value of the dollar is up. Others claim we are seeing the difference between winter and summer blends.

Rubbish!! It all comes from the same sand box in my opinion. I don't even see much difference between premium and the cheap stuff except in my wallet. And if the dollar is up, then why did I just spend $253.00 at the grocery store for one stinking cart? I'm not buying porterhouse over here either.

Well we shall see what will become of gas prices after the election when the Republicans gain control. I'm guessing the Arabs will jack the price sky high to make Romney look bad.

In the mean time, what do you make of this? I've always said God put certain things on this planet in over abundance for a reason, things like air, soil and water. Finally someone has decided to pick up on that.

But let’s just hope we don't all suffocate. I imagine it takes a lot of air to produce 2,000 lbs of petrol per day.

  • Don't nag about your (hideously) low gas prices - http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/


    Anders, everyone is really tired of that fuzzy math. What they pay in other countries is irrelevant because of the tax systems. They pay higher taxes on gas than anything else because that tax covers so may other things like mass transit that our tax does not. Basically they are getting more bang for their buck. Americans are just getting ripped off. Now look at the last 5 oil producing countries on that list. How can they justify charging on average 5 times what they can sell it for at home?
