Oil & Gas Prices:10-8-04 U.S. Crude over $53 Whitehouse says there will be no impact - Gas prices rising fast towards $3

[dmcowen674]

10-8-2004 Gas prices are rising and rising fast.

20 - 30 cent jump in last 3 days

Looks like $2.49 average in California, $2.25 in Northeast, $2 in South



Will start a new Gas Price thread to see where prices stand around the Country as they rise.

Looks like $3 a gallon by Election Day???

So...whatever happened to that Saudi promise that oil prices would drop before the election? Did the Saudis flip-flop?


And, if Bush was really interested in pushing for alternative fuel energy sources, why didn't he push harder on the House and the Senate? Heck, the Republicans held the vote for the Medicare bill open for an extra 3 hours (a complete unheard of tactic!!) but can't put any pressure on something more important?
