don't you mean... have the audacity to hope in one hand and crap in the other, see which one fills up first

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanium!

Are there any studies/labs/experiments on Cold Fusion currently going on?

I'd be curious on any progress that happened.

Val Kilmer stole this information from Elisabeth Shue. Authorities are still working on the case.

Face it, we need oil, lots of it. The Chinese get it, the Russians get it, the Saudis get it, WTF can't Dumbocrats get it?

Oil=power, economic independece, the very blessings of liberty.

$3.95 national retail average, down $0.12 over the last two weeks. Reached a high of $4.11 on July 16.

So ive noticed. What gives?? People are using less and selling off those SUV's?

Will it be under $2 by the winter?

We will never see that again.

Big picture is that crude has dropped from highs in the $140s/barrel to $120s now. Demand in the United States is down ~4% That's significant.

That depends on how much crude drops. I doubt that it will go anywhere near the price per barrel to get close to $2.00. I think $3.25 - $3.50 would be a better guess.

I went to put some gas in my car a few days ago. The guy filling up on the other side of the pump says to me, "I never thought I'd ever see the day when I was glad to see gas at $3.48/gal."

On my way to work this morning, I noticed that it was down to $3.44.

Must be nice. It's still hovering right around $4.00 up here (certainly higher in the City), although I've heard there are places in the area where it's just below $4.00.

But you're right; after the assraping we've endured, $3.50 does seem cheap, which I suppose is the idea.

But that part of me that thinks paying more than $1.00 a gallon for anything a bunch of inbred cavemen pump out of the ground is too much will never go away.

It's all part of the diabolical plan that the oil companies are carrying out. Jack the prices up to past $4, then let them settle out. And pretty soon, people are happy about $3.50ish - just like that guy - and they don't even think about when it was $2.50 or so. :)

What I find funny (and disturbing) are these car dealers selling new cars with a promise of fillups at the pump for 2.99/gal, like that is some kind of otherwordly deal for the consumer. If I didn't know better, it would seem like we the people are slowly being forcibly accustomed to the high price of gasoline.

Boy, the price of milk must REALLY piss you off.

Hope he didn't hit the gallon of milk when he emptied his gun into the fridge....




:D

All I know is that I bought a gallon of milk for $5.39 this weekend. $5.39!!!

Sometimes I can't detect your sarcasm, but I really hope you were in Hawaii if this is true.

Nope, here in Denver. Of course, it's the organic stuff that my wife insists on giving to the kids.

Milk Prices Could Soar to $5 a Gallon by Summer's End

I sense gouging.

I paid 3.50 for a half gallon plus another 1.50 for the bottle deposti.

CUT YOUR MILK CONSUMPTION, PEOPLE!

Take public transpor...

Eh, I mean drink water.

Or quit using those milk guzzling 32 ounce plastic cups from QT and downsize to a more economical 8 oz glass.

Cookies and milk NO MORE!

Die.

Drink skim...just put like chocolate or strawberry in it...it's not too bad...

Milk is stupid

It would if I went through five or six gallons of it a week.

I meant from the perspective of what you wrote, that it is just
"pumped out of the ground."

I hate Big Cow

:spock:

What kind of milk are you drinking?

I don't drink milk, unless it is mixed with coffee-flavored water. But, my kids drink Horizon 2% Organic.

I sense ethanol.

Boone Pickens for president..that guy is a genius when it comes to resources and energy..actually he's a genius anyways

$3.91 national retail average.

Gas was down to $3.65 this AM in Independence. Need to get it down about another $.50.... or more.

In central Ohio, I saw gas fro $3.51.

We haven't gone down a penny and are still sitting at $4.32, which is higher than California. :#

3.55 here in Council Bluffs IA\Omaha Nebraska.

FYP...

Fixed 'em both.

$3.59 here

I paid $3.32 this morning in Springpatch.

Crude went back up today. Sorry.

I paid $4.23 in Laguna Beach today which was 10 cents cheaper than anywhere in town.

Damn, here in central Texas the cheapest I have seen it is $3.79.9. How the hell is it more expensive here right now than it is in Missouri? I am sure I can find previous threads where my price is close to the same as KC if not lower but now am paying as much as 20-30 cents a gallon more?

I felt I was 'blessed' to only pay $4.83 today for diesel........

4.04 is the cheapest I'm getting it for. 72 cents more a gallon than Springfield MO. What? My shit has gold flakes in it? fuckin bastards in Olympia. :cuss:

Same here.

How come gas prices are dropping (for now) yet diesel is not dropping at all? Seems they should both be going down at the same rate no? Only thing I can think is the supply...consumers are using less gasoline, but truck drivers are not because they still make the same deliveries as before...? :spock:

Had to know the price drop wouldn't stay on a downward move for long.

:sulk:

Then why do you folks on the coast keep voting them in? :shrug:

It ain't me dude. I'm surrounded by them though. Fuggin tree huggin, pot smokin, hippies.

$3.37 Here in OKC, will check again when I get gas for the mower.

$32 to fill up a 2 door Honda.

A ****ING HONDA!

Yeah, I'm all for a war for oil. A real one where we fight to win and actually get the oil...

Well, it's good to know there is at least one smart person on the coast. It has long been my opinion that everyone on that side of the state is functional reeruned. :D

Diesel has dropped, too. National retail is $4.60, a decline of $0.11

$3.838 national retail average. Crude looking to go below $117.

Olympic Rally.

Vote democrat for even higher fuel prices. Garaunteed.

Haha, you are a moron, and a complete tool.

It doesn't matter what party is in office; they're all crooks regardless and the oil companies/auto industry are stuffing their pockets. Nothing will change.

The only difference between the two is "how" thru fuck you....not 'if".

$3.69 this morning

Dang, crude down 3.07% at $116.33

At what point to we see sub $3 gas, $100?

Donger, what do you think are the causes of the falling prices? If the high prices were caused by supply and demand, is the demand now that much lower? Supplies that much higher?

Closer to $90.

Lots of things, IMO.

The dollar is gaining strength.
Demand is decreasing here.
Etc.

Just a hunch, but I think that folks are starting to realize that crude was way overvalued at $140+ and that the bubble may have begun to burst.

I agree with this. People just quit driving as much, and when they had to, they used the most efficient vehicle that they have in their garage, planned their trips etc.

That, the fear of our economy lessening demand further scared the speculators. Very real grounding of Jets, quantifiable numbers that showed the driving was less, and the market turned bearish.

That, and the fact that oil has become a serious issue on the Hill, has spooked the market for oil temporarily.

It's funny - I drive between KC and Des Moines every day. The price of unleaded is almost .25 cheaper in Des Moines, while the prices of diesel is about .25 cheaper in KC. Anyone got an explanation of that?

Taxes, I would assume.

Iowa has a state tax of $0.20 on gas.

Kansas is $0.24

Kansas has a higher tax on diesel than Iowa by a few cents, so something else is up there. I think Kansas has a few refineries that refine diesel, too.

Anyway, swings of ~$0.20 aren't unusual in metro areas. Look around on gasbuddy.com and you'll see.

Isnt it obvious? People are inflating their tires and getting Tune ups.

ROFL I remember when the Dems got Ketchup bottles out to make fun of Reagan cutting some school lunch subsidy or something.

Now it is Tire pressure gauges.

Interesting. I didn't realize states swung so far on their respective taxes.

BTW, I was talking about the Missouri side of Kansas City.

3.99 a gal. and crude has fallen to $91/barrel. WTF? How the hell can gas rise 40-50 cents in 2 weeks while oil is falling? Paging Donger...

Not quite.

Because gasoline prices follow crude under normal conditions. It will drop.

And, the retail average isn't $3.99.

What is the current average?

$3.83, which is artificially high due to Ike. It should, and will, be around $3.60.

Unfortunately, crude jumped $25/barrel today.
