Gas $1.99/gallon!
 
Am I the only one to notice how Big Oil seems to have gotten the message
from the last halftime election where the Democrats took over both houses?

Wouldn't it have been fun to hear the Neocons calling them to make a deal?

Gas is $1.99/US Gallon in Charleston, SC, tonight. I filled up the Chevy
Pig. Not sure what it's doing at the fuel dock...

I wish our gas dealers would get the same message.
It's still 93 cents a liter up here.

Gosh, I thought it was just the old supply and demand thing.

Same in Oregon................

Is it my emagination or is it the west coast "blue states" getting
stuck with high prices. Dont forget Hawaii. Oh, I forgot they put a
PRICE CAP on their fuel cost. Seems that state thinks their people dont
deserve to get screwed by the fuel retailers.
Gee what would happen if all the states put a price cap on fuel prices?

Fuel companies would quit the business. Sources would dry up and/or fuel
would move to the black market.

We paid $2.01 on our way to the Texas coast over
the weekend. The lowest we saw anywhere was
$1.85. Average around $2.07 probably.

Course after the Israeli's nuke the Iranian nuke
facilities later this year, the price is going to
spike up again. (you heard it here first.)

Well, COSTCO in Hawaii was selling gas at $2.61 last time I bought gas,
average prices around the state are much higher. The gas cap was
mooted here by the Republican governor very shortly after it took
effect. Not sure about the details as I was at sea when it happened.

Gas taxes have a little to do with prices. See

Hey, socialist services like "free" medical care aren't really free.
Politicians just move the money around, siphoning off a good percentage for
themselves as it flows through their grubby little hands.

There are regular companies in Charleston driving every week to Canada to
buy hoards of discount prescription drugs that cost an arm and a leg in the
States. A friend of mine, who's 85, pays over $US583 for 90 pills of some
drug his doctor sells him into buying.

The gas is cheaper, but medical service is unobtanium for most Americans
from the intense greed....It's a trade off.
