gas prices o' well.

[Mr.President]

this is a random thought that popped in my head about gas prices.

Well seeing as how I was upset when it reached $2.00 a gallon, I really can't be more disappointed anymore as it reaches $4.00. I would also like to say that I was already pretty conservative during daily driving, I never really just burned gas unless cruising with friends to meetup or a good solid drive. I love how people are just now worrying about it.

All in all this is how I feel. Sure I care about our economy, but hell even If I pay $4.00 a gallon I'll get every penny out of it each tank until I can't afford it by god.

word. this morning's news (dont remember which one) said $1 per barrel should equate to ~2.5c. As such last weeks drop to less than $130 a barrel should have meant a drop of about 40c at the pump....that would of been nice if only fleeting. Biggest drop I saw was 15c at kroger (3.99 to 3.84).

[Mr.President]

I know in a few places in Missouri its down to $3.50 Not everyone is price gouging and abusing the current situation.

The current oil situation is 99% affected by speculation. There is no shortage, hell $1 gallon is too much. Its obvious that the reason for it all is corporation's greed and their overwhelming influence in politics to push their own agendas. Tons of people also listen to what they are told on these news-stock-market shows and invest heavily in crude oil and natural gases raising the price trying to make a million, not keeping in consideration that they are aiding in our currency inflation. For many years our government has forced our economy to heavily rely on oil and not allowing the prospects of alternative fuels. Remember all of the full electric and hybrid cars in the late 80s and early 90s that were all confiscated and destroyed by auto manufacturers when there leases were up? Never to see another program like it for the past 20 years. Makes you wander. But I guess that is what happens to Capitalism when influenced by evil men.

Sorry having a bad day at work and trying to kick my soft-drink habbit.
