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.

  • My daughter lives in Naperville and we always fill up before we cross the Indiana / Illinois line because gas is typically 10-20 cents more per gallon. The truck stops at Burr and I80 (Mr Fuel and Pilot) are usually where fill up before crossing the line.
  • , I know what you mean, there is quite a price difference once you cross the border. Even going between counties can make quite a difference in price. I live in Lake county and commute to Cook county for work. I felt dumb the other day when I had to pay an extra $.20 a gallon just because I wasn't watching the gage close enough and had to fill up near work. I guess I could have just got enough to get to home where it is cheaper, but it just wasn't worth it to me to make 2 stops.
