sonny purdue, the governor of georgia, just announced a moratorium on the states gas tax for the rest of the month. i am not a big fan of his but this is a great move on his part.

 

[my sons father]

Don't worry folks, our esteemed president has a solution to this problem. He's going to lend the oil companies 30 million barrels of oil that they can sell for $65 a barrel, then they can pay it back when prices drop to $45 a barrel, picking up a cool $600 MILLION dollars of profit! BTW, gas is $3.49 in the SW Chicago for regular, and we have our own refineries!

Do you think the prices will drop? I don't count on it, gas stations will just raise the price again.

 

[conjur]

Gas here has gone from $3.19 to $2.89 today. Perhaps that pipeline that's been re-opened is helping.

 

[inhotep]

Wat?
In Milwaukee, the gas prices are around $3.80 a gallon. That is pretty damn close to the canadian prices.



edit: $3.25 - $3.80 in Milwaukee as of 9/2/05

I've been seeing 3.19 or 3.18 on my commute in Pheonix Arizona.

 

[tontod]

I drove by the same station as I filled up yesterday, and its up by 20 cents, $3.35 for 87, $3.44 for mid, $3.56 for premium. Glad I filled up yesterday, hopefully it'll go down in a few days when I need to fill up again. Location - just north of Boston.

You can thank the carelessness of many Americans who forgot all the lessons learned from the last gas crunch and went back to gas guzzling vehicles again so they don't have to look uncool in their Civic's, Corolla's or Focus's.

For the people who really need large vehicles for work you are excluded, but a 5'3" soccer mom's in an Expedition that gets 14 MPG out of that 5.4 liter motor of unused guzzling power, those short package white guys in their M5's and those masters of the bling in their Escalades with 24 inch spinners and 6 TV's in the headrests all running while no one is in the car EVER but the driver. Why didn't you learn the lesson? remember the Honda CVCC commercials?

I'm glad I grew up in the US and not another country of much less fortune, but at the same time I acknowledge that I get to also accept the mistakes SOME of my fellow bonehead Americans did and pay the price for their dumba$$ FAD vehicle purchases too.

be that as it may, it does not excuse gas pices doubling overnight. Lets say electricity prices doubled overnight...would you sh~!t your shorts? Well, how about it kept going up. About 10c a week. Oh right, and it wont go back down.....ever. Why don't you move closer to lightning or something...yea, that'll work!

 

[archcommus]

Cheapest I've seen in western PA is $3.09, some around $3.19.

WHEN WILL IT FALL.

Did prices drop at all?

I'm sure the Oil Co's would just keep the price the same and rake in more profits.

Please piece together a better arguement, I can't reply to kids telling me to live next to lightning or something.

And while you are at it, explain and answer why Americans being careless about exhaustable fossil fuel consumption should have no effect on prices.
