NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in a historic
selloff,
erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the months-long
climb in
energy prices may have hit a ceiling.

Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors unloaded
their
positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into an outright
freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple digits to
double
digits, falling below $100 after opening at close to $110.
Brent
crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point in a
sell-off that
exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers' collapse, Reuters
reported.

An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the price is
moving
toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it should
be. For the
American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising energy prices
that have
begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of respite may
be at
hand.

You know the old adage, gas prices go up like a rocket and
fall like a
feather
Yes, I also know the story about Chicken Littlle
Having nothing to do with what we are talking about.

It is a fact that gas prices go up with oil prices but they lag
the
fall of oil prices by several weeks or even months.
If oil dropped to $60 tomorrow, gasoline might not reflect that
for a
month or more.
Chicken Little was afraid of the sky falling. Right wing nuts are
convinced the world is ending and rising oil prices are
supposedly an
example. Totally appropriate comment.
`
The world isn't ending, but we are losing value in the dollar and
that
shows up in oil or anything else we import. You can live in denial
if
you like.

Yet the price of oil is dropping... I guess my denial is working.
Let me know when you get the gas prices down to two bucks. Thanks a
bunch
I can remember when we considered $2 gas to be expensive. It was
only 10 or 11 years ago.

I paid $4.30 for gas today... I don't see anything coming down, any
time
soon...


I paid $2.97 something for 23 gallons today. It really must suck to be
you. That was at Shell, with a dollar a gallon discount courtesy of
shopping at the supermarket.

Bull****. That's 10 cents a gallon discount. You are a ****ing liar of
you say you get a dollar a gallon off.

LOL, It is obvious that Harry Krause is losing it. You know he didn't
want to make such a blatant mistake, but his mind is slipping big time.
He read somewhere about a discount, but he couldn't remember the amount,
so he guessed it was a $1 off



Talk about morons...jesus.

Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a gallon
discount.

You dumb****s can't even handle simple grade school math.


Bull****. They do the same here, and that's not the way it works. You
never get more than a dime a gallon off. You are a ****ing liar. Here's
how it works. When you spend 100 bucks at the store, you get 10 cents
off a gallon for 100 gallons. If you spend 1000 at the store, you get 10
cents off a gallon for 1000 gallons. Idiot.


When you go to Giant you are paying higher prices than you pay at
Safeway, Magruder's, Weis, and other grocers in my area.

And, the Shell station closet to me has prices that are about 6 or 7
cents greater than the BP station which is more convenient.

Why am I going to pay higher prices for groceries, about $20 more than
Safeway, then go out of my way to go to a Shell station to save 3 or 4
cents a gallon? The economics just don't make sense.

Funny, you should look at this a an upcoming buying opportunity as the

Top 20% already pay 80% of the taxes.

You should get a job and pay some yourself instead of whining. You live
in a country with lots of opportunities and prefer self pity. You are
fat and lazy in the head. Typical fleabagger.

I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with
fleabagger debt.

Take a look at ANY country, more debt more problems. So why do we allow
our governments more debt? Selfishness, greed, denial?

Funny, until last year I too worked for a living. Saved a little often,
learned to invest in myself including investment skills, retired.

You seem bitter, a screw up? Envy and greed are not a path to wealth,
get off your lard ass and invest in yourself. Whining, envy and greed
take away from you getting your crap together.

Now whine on. Self pity seems to be your game. Always someone elses
fault but yours.

I'll bet you $1000 you are wrong. Here, you can get $1.00 off a gallon

can save more if you spend more.

I can remember when we considered $2 gas to be expensive. It was
only 10 or 11 years ago.

I paid $4.30 for gas today... I don't see anything coming down, any
time
soon...


I paid $2.97 something for 23 gallons today. It really must suck to be
you. That was at Shell, with a dollar a gallon discount courtesy of
shopping at the supermarket.

Bull****. That's 10 cents a gallon discount. You are a ****ing liar of
you say you get a dollar a gallon off.

LOL, It is obvious that Harry Krause is losing it. You know he didn't
want to make such a blatant mistake, but his mind is slipping big time.
He read somewhere about a discount, but he couldn't remember the amount,
so he guessed it was a $1 off



Talk about morons...jesus.

Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a gallon
discount.

You dumb****s can't even handle simple grade school math.


Bull****. They do the same here, and that's not the way it works. You
never get more than a dime a gallon off. You are a ****ing liar. Here's
how it works. When you spend 100 bucks at the store, you get 10 cents
off a gallon for 100 gallons. If you spend 1000 at the store, you get 10
cents off a gallon for 1000 gallons. Idiot.


When you go to Giant you are paying higher prices than you pay at
Safeway, Magruder's, Weis, and other grocers in my area.

And, the Shell station closet to me has prices that are about 6 or 7
cents greater than the BP station which is more convenient.

Why am I going to pay higher prices for groceries, about $20 more than
Safeway, then go out of my way to go to a Shell station to save 3 or 4
cents a gallon? The economics just don't make sense.


How it works

For every dollar you spend at Giant, you earn a point on your card. Earn 100 points, save 10¢/gallon
on gas. The more you shop, the more you save - you can redeem up to $2.20/gallon in a single fill
up.
Points Savings
100 10¢/gallon
200 20¢/gallon
300 30¢/gallon
....up to $2.20/gallon!

Points are valid for 30 days.

Terms and Conditions

Fuel savings are limited to 35 gallons of fuel per vehicle per purchase, or limits placed on your
payment card by your financial institution, which may be lower. Total discount cannot exceed price
per gallon. Limit of 2,200 points may be redeemed with any fill up. Earned points are available for
redemption within 24 hours. Offers available at Giant or participating Shell locations. Giant
Rewards points earned at participating Giant locations only. Giant Gas Rewards not available in
Charlottesville, North Carolina. Only purchases made with your Giant card are eligible. Net purchase
excludes alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, pharmacy items, gift cards, milk, Metro passes and
any other purchase prohibited by law. Giant Gas Rewards points will expire 30 days from date of
issuance. Your date of purchase is day 1. Giant Rewards points available at the time of a gasoline
transaction will be redeemed. Visit your participating Giant stores for program details. Offer may
be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Not valid where prohibited by law. All
trademarks are property of their respective owners.


So, in order to get a $1.00 per gallon discount, you must spend $1000 to earn 1000 points

Note the fine print: "Giant Gas Rewards points will expire 30 days from date of issuance." So, all
Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within the same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.

So, where's the issue? Surely no one is doubting that Harry and his lovely (in his words) bride
spend $1000 on food in 30 days!

the right would never permit it. as long as it benefits the rich
they're in favor of it


Sure, Bob, that's it.


fine. you let me know when taxes on the rich get raised, OK?


Top 20% already pay 80% of the taxes.


and their share of national income has skyrocketed. income taxes are
BARELY progressive. we are becoming a plutocracy. the rich own FAR
more of america than they did 20 years ago. the US has the worst GINI
coefficient of any western industrialized democracy

but the fact that this often leads to national collapse...like
egypt...seems not to bother you.


You should get a job and pay some yourself instead of whining. You live
in a country with lots of opportunities and prefer self pity. You are
fat and lazy in the head. Typical fleabagger.


you right wingers think that those of us who objectively evaluate

We have three major grocery stores here...Giant, Safeway, and Food Lion.
Their prices are comparable. No Magruders, sadly.

All the gas stations down here are within a penny of each other for

NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in a historic selloff,
erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the months-long climb in
energy prices may have hit a ceiling.

Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors unloaded their
positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into an outright
freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple digits to double
digits, falling below $100 after opening at close to $110. Brent
crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point in a sell-off that
exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers' collapse, Reuters
reported.

An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the price is moving
toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it should be. For the
American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising energy prices that have
begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of respite may be at
hand.

Surely, the fact that crude oil prices have nothing to do with pump
prices.... any more, at least....


Nope, not a bit. Bush put a stop to that when he was pocketing all the oil money. It appears 'Bama
is carrying on the tradition.


Well..... politicians are politicians.....


A very interesting theory that Bush was pocketing all the oil money
and Obama is doing the same.

The Bush family was in the oil business and many of his allies came
from oil, I don't recall Obama or Obama's family in any similar

At some point, those remaining Americans capable of thinking are going
to realize how badly and how frequently they are raped by corporate
interests, and they will react appropriately.

I've given up trying to figure out the Bush family. Grandpa Prescott was
smart, Papa George H.W. is smart, Jeb is smart. Dubya is the
intellectual runt of the bloodline. Hell, he couldn't even make it in
the oil business, something at which his father succeeded.

You know the old adage, gas prices go up like a

rocket and
fall like a
feather
Yes, I also know the story about Chicken Littlle
Having nothing to do with what we are talking about.

It is a fact that gas prices go up with oil prices

but they lag
the
fall of oil prices by several weeks or even months.
If oil dropped to $60 tomorrow, gasoline might not

reflect that
for a
month or more.
Chicken Little was afraid of the sky falling. Right

wing nuts are
convinced the world is ending and rising oil prices

are
supposedly an
example. Totally appropriate comment.
`
The world isn't ending, but we are losing value in

the dollar and
that
shows up in oil or anything else we import. You can

live in denial
if
you like.

Yet the price of oil is dropping... I guess my denial

is working.
Let me know when you get the gas prices down to two

bucks. Thanks a
bunch
I can remember when we considered $2 gas to be

expensive. It was
only 10 or 11 years ago.

I paid $4.30 for gas today... I don't see anything coming

down, any
time
soon...


I paid $2.97 something for 23 gallons today. It really

must suck to be
you. That was at Shell, with a dollar a gallon discount

courtesy of
shopping at the supermarket.

Bull****. That's 10 cents a gallon discount. You are a

****ing liar of
you say you get a dollar a gallon off.

LOL, It is obvious that Harry Krause is losing it. You know

he didn't
want to make such a blatant mistake, but his mind is

slipping big time.
He read somewhere about a discount, but he couldn't remember

the amount,
so he guessed it was a $1 off



Talk about morons...jesus.

Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S.

gallon around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon

discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you

spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a

gallon
discount.

You dumb****s can't even handle simple grade school math.

Bull****. They do the same here, and that's not the way it

works. You
never get more than a dime a gallon off. You are a ****ing liar.

Here's
how it works. When you spend 100 bucks at the store, you get 10

cents
off a gallon for 100 gallons. If you spend 1000 at the store,

you get 10
cents off a gallon for 1000 gallons. Idiot.


When you go to Giant you are paying higher prices than you pay at
Safeway, Magruder's, Weis, and other grocers in my area.

And, the Shell station closet to me has prices that are about 6 or

7
cents greater than the BP station which is more convenient.

Why am I going to pay higher prices for groceries, about $20 more

than
Safeway, then go out of my way to go to a Shell station to save 3

or 4
cents a gallon? The economics just don't make sense.



How it works



For every dollar you spend at Giant, you earn a point on your card.

Earn 100 points, save 10¢/gallon
on gas. The more you shop, the more you save - you can redeem up to

$2.20/gallon in a single fill
up.
Points Savings
100 10¢/gallon
200 20¢/gallon
300 30¢/gallon
...up to $2.20/gallon!



Points are valid for 30 days.



Terms and Conditions



Fuel savings are limited to 35 gallons of fuel per vehicle per

purchase, or limits placed on your
payment card by your financial institution, which may be lower.

Total discount cannot exceed price
per gallon. Limit of 2,200 points may be redeemed with any fill up.

Earned points are available for
redemption within 24 hours. Offers available at Giant or

participating Shell locations. Giant
Rewards points earned at participating Giant locations only. Giant

Gas Rewards not available in
Charlottesville, North Carolina. Only purchases made with your

Giant card are eligible. Net purchase
excludes alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, pharmacy items,

gift cards, milk, Metro passes and
any other purchase prohibited by law. Giant Gas Rewards points will

expire 30 days from date of
issuance. Your date of purchase is day 1. Giant Rewards points

available at the time of a gasoline
transaction will be redeemed. Visit your participating Giant stores

for program details. Offer may
be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Not valid

where prohibited by law. All
trademarks are property of their respective owners.





So, in order to get a $1.00 per gallon discount, you must spend

$1000 to earn 1000 points


Note the fine print: "Giant Gas Rewards points will expire 30 days

from date of issuance." So, all
Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within the

same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.



So, where's the issue? Surely no one is doubting that Harry and his

lovely (in his words) bride
spend $1000 on food in 30 days!


Tubby Hairy and his roly poly bride must be stuffing their faces in
order to save a bit on gasoline. Penny wise and "POUND" foolish.
Snicker.

It's easy to spend $1000 a month at Giant when you have a list of
families in need of food and prescriptions and you help them out with
gift cards. We also buy food to donate to a local food bank. We average
about $500 a month in gift card purchases for the needy, and I average
$1.00 off per gallon on a tankful of gas once a month. We'd donate
without the gas savings, but it is nice to get it.

One of our friends buys gift cards at Target and Sears to help out needy
families trying to keep clothes on their kids' backs.

These are really tough times for many American families, and the
availability of services is diminishing rapidly.

After all, the super rich depend upon those Bush tax cuts for their
every meal.

We have three major grocery stores here...Giant, Safeway, and Food Lion.
Their prices are comparable. No Magruders, sadly.

All the gas stations down here are within a penny of each other for
regular. Saving $1.00 a gallon for a fill-up leaves $23 in my pocket.


Well, since you very rarely leave your basement, and from your size it
appears that you can easily eat $1000 of groceries a week, it is easy
for you to always pay $1 less per gallon.

For the rest of us, it would take over a month to spend $1000 at the
grocery store, and we fill up at least once a week.

Sure, Bob, that's it.

fine. you let me know when taxes on the rich get raised, OK?


Top 20% already pay 80% of the taxes.


and their share of national income has skyrocketed. income taxes are
BARELY progressive. we are becoming a plutocracy. the rich own FAR

How many jobs have you directly created in the last two years?

but the fact that this often leads to national collapse...like
egypt...seems not to bother you.


Turning food into fuel is what will cause a collapse.


You should get a job and pay some yourself instead of whining. You live
in a country with lots of opportunities and prefer self pity. You are
fat and lazy in the head. Typical fleabagger.


you right wingers think that those of us who objectively evaluate
EVIDENCE are lazy whereas you guys who believe in fairy tales are
realiists


Evidence? Evidence of what? You sit on your pity pot day after day
whining about how the rich are out to get you, specifically.

It really is funny you whining all of the time about about the rich. Do
you ever take the poor out on your boat for a cruise or a day of
fishing? Or, do you not associate with the poor but only talk about
their plight?

it's like saying the easter bunny is real and those who disagree dont

The Easter Bunny isn't real? Damn screwed over by my parents again.

It is a fact that gas prices go up with oil prices but they lag
the
fall of oil prices by several weeks or even months.
If oil dropped to $60 tomorrow, gasoline might not reflect that
for a
month or more.
Chicken Little was afraid of the sky falling. Right wing nuts are
convinced the world is ending and rising oil prices are
supposedly an
example. Totally appropriate comment.

The world isn't ending, but we are losing value in the dollar and

you like.
Yet the price of oil is dropping... I guess my denial is working.
Let me know when you get the gas prices down to two bucks. Thanks a

I can remember when we considered $2 gas to be expensive. It was
only 10 or 11 years ago.
I paid $4.30 for gas today... I don't see anything coming down, any

I paid $2.97 something for 23 gallons today. It really must suck to be

Bull****. That's 10 cents a gallon discount. You are a ****ing liar of

Talk about morons...jesus.

Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a gallon
discount.

You dumb****s can't even handle simple grade school math.
Bull****. They do the same here, and that's not the way it works. You

off a gallon for 100 gallons. If you spend 1000 at the store, you get 10

You're still here, **** for brains?

I'll bet you $1000 you are wrong. Here, you can get $1.00 off a gallon
if you spend $1000 at the supermarket in a given 30-day period. And you
can save more if you spend more.

Put up or shut up, **** for brains.

And that goes for you, too, Loogy.

When you go to Giant you are paying higher prices than you pay at
Safeway, Magruder's, Weis, and other grocers in my area.

And, the Shell station closet to me has prices that are about 6 or 7
cents greater than the BP station which is more convenient.

Why am I going to pay higher prices for groceries, about $20 more than
Safeway, then go out of my way to go to a Shell station to save 3 or 4
cents a gallon? The economics just don't make sense.


How it works

For every dollar you spend at Giant, you earn a point on your card. Earn 100 points, save 10¢/gallon
on gas. The more you shop, the more you save - you can redeem up to $2.20/gallon in a single fill
up.
Points Savings
100 10¢/gallon
200 20¢/gallon
300 30¢/gallon
...up to $2.20/gallon!

Points are valid for 30 days.

Terms and Conditions

Fuel savings are limited to 35 gallons of fuel per vehicle per purchase, or limits placed on your
payment card by your financial institution, which may be lower. Total discount cannot exceed price
per gallon. Limit of 2,200 points may be redeemed with any fill up. Earned points are available for
redemption within 24 hours. Offers available at Giant or participating Shell locations. Giant
Rewards points earned at participating Giant locations only. Giant Gas Rewards not available in
Charlottesville, North Carolina. Only purchases made with your Giant card are eligible. Net purchase
excludes alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, pharmacy items, gift cards, milk, Metro passes and
any other purchase prohibited by law. Giant Gas Rewards points will expire 30 days from date of
issuance. Your date of purchase is day 1. Giant Rewards points available at the time of a gasoline
transaction will be redeemed. Visit your participating Giant stores for program details. Offer may
be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Not valid where prohibited by law. All
trademarks are property of their respective owners.


So, in order to get a $1.00 per gallon discount, you must spend $1000 to earn 1000 points

Note the fine print: "Giant Gas Rewards points will expire 30 days from date of issuance." So, all
Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within the same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.

So, where's the issue? Surely no one is doubting that Harry and his lovely (in his words) bride
spend $1000 on food in 30 days!


As you know it isn't hard to spend $1000 at Giant.

We have three major grocery stores here...Giant, Safeway, and Food Lion.
Their prices are comparable. No Magruders, sadly.

All the gas stations down here are within a penny of each other for
regular. Saving $1.00 a gallon for a fill-up leaves $23 in my pocket.


That will help you pay off the contractor that built your deck.

You behave just like loogy. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, you
*are* loogy. I don't care who you "really" are. You're just another one
of the nearly brain dead assholes who hang out here.

There's nothing to be gained with your bet. If you want to prove you are
not loogy, no one will stop you. If you want to continue to behave as if
you are loogy, then posters here will call you loogy.

You are absolutely wrong about your claims in the Giant supermarket
fuel discount. It's easy enough to prove you wrong.
