Hey just wondering why gas is so cheap and what are some of the prices you all have seen.

Is it because of the elections?

Global economic turndown. Lower demand for oil, even though opec is trying to "stabilize" oil prices at a still inflated 70-90 USD a barrel by cutting production. A lot of political undertones going along with the oil roller coaster.

you guys are lucky, america's servicemembers are paying 4.06 here in japan because AAFES bought so much in bulk, and they have to run out of this 'bulk' before the price drops. hopefully it does before prices go back up.

We're steady around 2.57 still.

Because of the economy people are doing things less. Traveling, driving, etc. So demand is lower. Demand lowers and prices lower.

Errr, this is what they want you to believe. Prices dropped by 50%, but do you see 50% less cars on the road? Is morning traffic 50% better? Nope.
The reason for the lower prices is because the stock market crashed, and the two oil tycoons are finally leaving the white house.

I just filled up for 2.44. Took about 25$ to fill the tank, compared to the 50$ it took before. Thank god thats over...at least for now.

It doesn't have anything to do with conspiracy. Oil prices shot up because there was a new law passed that allowed stock market investors to speculate on the future price of oil. This caused people to game the system in order to drive prices higher and higher in order to help oil companies make record breaking profits. Now that the stock market crashed, all the speculators pulled out to try to save their own ass, and you see the price fall back down to normal supply and demand levels.

The comment about the two oil tycoons (bush and chainey) being in the white house was actually a comment made by nancy pelosi. smile.gif
