We hovered around $2.10 ... but never broke through that, where i live. At least not that I recall.

If gasoline drops to $2.00 again, it would pretty much have to be caused by a severe recession. That's why crude dropped out in 2008.

No, it didn't.

LMAO Okay...

It's not like it's top secret information:

So, you've seen a $0.07 increase in the last week?

No. Like I said, it was 2.95 Wednesday.

Sorry, but the data do not support your conclusion.

I know what the price was when I filled up Weds compared to today/yesterday. Not just here, but the town I work in, Urbana. Its about 30 mi away. It was 3.01 weds. in Urbana.

Well, if you look around both Dayton and Urbana, you can still get gasoline for under $3.00.

I know, but I find it wasteful to drive out of my way for cheaper fuel.

Yep, it's just math. There's a station that is about three miles from me that is always $0.20 or so more than the one down the street. I never go to the one down the street.

That, and because the price was artificially inflated by speculations on oil as a physical commodity to the point where each barrel was traded an average of 30+ times.

Hell, it was going up in 2007-8 despite reduced demand and increased supply, solely due to speculators buying up the reserves.

Wait...what?
