"Game Blouses"



The WSJ keeps blabbin on about the about the huge demand china has for oil being a large contributor to the reason why a dropping barrel price is not being reflected into lower gas prices at the pump. Also throw in the fact that the Saudis can simply slow production to try and stabilize their dropping barrel price. Basic supply and demand

2.97 and dropping by me

$15 used to fill my 72 Cutlas when I started driving back in '87. And yes I was probably wearing acid washed jeans filling it up.

Funny how people complained when post Katrina gas surged to almost $3, now 2 years later $3 seems like a good deal.

i don't remember the exact numbers, but someone did a comparison of the price of gas as related to the price of oil. it works out to be more expensive this year for that same gallon of gas, even though oil is lower this year. go figure...

yeah but 5$ = 3.66 EURO

May of this year 1 (one) Euro was .63 USD (cents)

Now it is above .74 USD (cents)

In 2004 1 (one) Euro was almost the same amount as the USD at about .90 cents

The actual price of the USD has dropped a lot in the last 4 years.

2.84 at a few stations in Jersey City! woot! still way too expensive....

Gas is more expensive in other countries like GB because they pay more tax on it than we do. California is always expensive because they have crazy taxes on their gas.

2.79 in pitman for regular.

super FINALLY dropped down... was 3.23 today, finally deiced to fill up on it.

I also read barrels of oil are $77. Shouldn't gas be cheaper if barrels are that low? Still seems kind of expensive since in July a barrel of oil was $140 and regular than was 3.70ish

gas never should have shot up to over 3.00 even when it was 200 a barrel. it takes 1 1/2 to 2 years to refine crude oil to gas. therefor gas prices should take at least a year to be affected by the price of a barrel. its the speculators that are ruining everything. when gas shot up to 200 a barrel, the gas we were using was from crude oil that was still only 60ish a barrel. thats how they made those insane profits. 4% profit margin my balls.
