Wishful thinking. Or perhaps a dream you had last night?

The same people who put Obama in office last time will do it again.

Who put him in office? After Katrina, a news reporter was interviewing a young woman and asked how she was coping since all the churches had been desvastated by the flooding waters. She answered, "We never went to churches anyway! We always went to Popeye's!"

Diesel is now only 5-6% more than 87 octane (at the same station).
6 months ago it was about 10% more. Hopefully, the trend continues.

I've seen some stations now where diesel is cheaper than premium also.

Think our gas prices in nj are a little lower because governor rice crispy won't raise the gas tax cause jersey has high real estate taxes, first time I ever seen politician do something halfway right.

Try having both the highest real estate taxes in the nation + one of the highest gas prices, personal state taxes etc... Got to love Long Island !!

Gas here yesterday at the BP and Hess were - 4.36 / 4.46 / 4.56 Diesel is around 4.89. Anywhere off an expressway the price jump to 4.60+ for 87 and over 5 for diesel... Pathetic !! As soon as oil started spiking to over 112 everyone started bumping their prices here - sometimes 2x's per day for 2+weeks straight. When prices plummeted to under $99 in less than 3 days the prices are exactly the same as when oil peaked... so far has not moved down one penny.

I don't want to hear that when oil went up what they had to pay also went up in the underground tanks yada yada... everyone knows they are now going to fill them back up at a much cheaper price but still gouge everyone for weeks...

We can't drill anywhere, while China drills off our gulf coast so we can buy it from them with money they have lent us. We ould always instead buy it from a foreign country that hates us and keep giving them all of our tax money in the process. ughhh don't get me started on this whole process - hopefully 2012 has some real change !

Raising is easier that lowering when you were given to power to do it and nobody can say anything.
