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.

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.

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. Idiocy on parade, courtesy of Herring. 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 situation. |

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. |

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. 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. |
