They Can't Stop It!!

Dan, it seems there are some advantages to a slumping economy.  Yeah, I'd have to drain my tank in order to pack in more than $35 worth.  Lots of so-called speculators lost tons of money betting on oil.  It will be interesting to see how it fares in the coming year.

Hi Dan.  I was happy to see that too.

I agree, OPEC won't turn off the taps.  They need the money.

Low gas prices and mortgage rates will turn around the economy.

Their problem is they want the bucks more than ever so they will try at all cost!

Isn's it insane how the price of gas dropped so dramatically??? They say that it's because there is fewer demand... But if that was the case, shouldn't they increase the price?? They play some very tricky tricky games! Thank you for sharing that with us! Happy Holidays!

Dan, the fact that it is almost becoming "cheap" again to gas up is almost a threat in itself.. threat to the newly energized efforts to find alternative energies, implement better fuel efficiencies (which have existed in many places in the world for years), etc.  Once people become used to "cheap gas" again, the voices calling for changes in the energy policies will become less and less...and any efforts will die on the vine.  Once that happens, gas prices will surely increase again!

These oil people are so disgusting. When prices are up, they say it is demand. When prices are down, they say it is over supply. Anyway, only high prices are normal. I think now it is time for them to spit out what they have taken from consumers.
