This is what I'm talkin about...I've noticed it has dropped .20 - .25 cents in like the last 2 weeks where I live.

"Industry analyst sees prices between $2 and $2.50 by Thanksgiving."

That's good news. Before reading the article, I would have said prices would drop to around $2.50 a gallon for regular. All it takes is one bad event to happen in the Middle East though and it will go right back to $3.00 or higher again.

Yeah, we got some stations in Cincy that are at like 2.4x.....of course they're in the parts of town where you might get robbed. So you either get robbed paying 2.89 a gallon, or robbed paying 2.45, can't win.

You can thank President Bush for the raising gas prices and
also voting ten times to raise your taxes.

$2.50 is still high no matter how you look at it.

Get it around $1.50 where it should be given the rate of inflation and i'll be happy.


I miss the days of crusing around in the Mustang all weekend on $10 of gas when it was $0.99 a gallon

Hey, I miss the days of .35 a gallon. Spent $15 for a weeks worth of driving and that was alot of driving. Then again, I was only getting around 14MPG in my 69 Camaro.

You probably know alot about this subject if you work for a
Petroleum distribution company.I do look toward to voting a
new president in office and sending are troops home from the
middle east.Also paying less for gas would be great on are economy.
Price gouging at the pump is horrible for everyone.
