Gas Prices = $2.34?

[Icekold]

My take on these new "low" gas prices? One word: elections.
These lower gas prices are directly related to the fact that alot of these politicians that are in the pocket of the big oil companies are about to be voted out by fed up voters. I think this is a last ditch effort and attempt at brainwashing us into forgiving these crooks and preserving the friends they have on Capitol Hill. I for one ain't falling for it.

I'll 2nd that notion. Seems like an act of desperation if they're willing to forego that kind of $$$. Of course, in the long-run comparatively, it'd probably just be a drop in the bucket....or barrel as the case may be.

Best price I've saw here in Oregon yesterday is $2.83 and I drove through 7 cities yesterday.

Side note: I would like to recommend the following podcast: "WICN's This new car". It is a 13 week (13 episode) special edition of the Business Beat. A roundtable discussion on hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel technologies. With the dependence on high-priced fuel and ecological concerns, this show comes at the perfect time to educate consumers. What's worth it and what's not.

Have you heard that the price of gas in the U.S. is cheap compared to the International rate of $5 to $6 a gallon?

Have you heard that the U.S. government is considering emposing a $2 to $3 per gallon tax on the gas we buy? This is an effort to raise our awareness of our dependancies on oil, generate revenue for improving mass transit, and to get us to drive less, which will improve our air quality.

...And to drive our economy into the worst possible state of existence.

I find it hard to believe our government wants to do this, but personally would like to see gasoline nail $6 a gallon and do nothing but go up from there. The general American populace will never change a bad habit until forced to do so, and the recent increase in fuel consumption in spite of price hikes just proves it. Ramping up fuel prices to that level would be a significant wake-up call that something better has been around under our noses for a long time.

SURE LET'S TAX THE HELL OUT OF THE LITTLE GUY SO WE CAN'T EVEN DRIVE ANYMORE........

SMART MOVE "UNCLE SAM"


I got news for all those idiot government boys....you are not going to change the American lifestyle by simply taxing people to death. The only thing that does is remove money from their pockets so they have less to keep the economy moving. Stagnant economy=less jobs=more welfare=NO economy!
