I've been listening to the news commentators telling me that the price of gas is coming down, down, down.
So what's the price of gas (for cars) in your area and do you think it is good things or has it gone down too far,

I just paid $1.50 here in deep South Texas. I have a good friend that lost his job as an oil worker now he's out pounding the pavement.

I think it has gone down too far and it's going to keep going down.

Gasoline is still going for over $2.00 here in the land of high road taxes, Pennsylvania.

As for .32 a gallon, never happen, the tax will see to that.

I remember filling up my Kawasaki 350 dirt bike for under $2.00, those were the days...

our cheap prices are why we are against the XL pipeline. that would drain the huge reserves in cushing okla. that would drive everyone else's gas up too. :roll: :roll: :roll:

The U.S. does not set oil prices.

it's called supply demand. if this country's biggest storage facility was drained. our prices would go up. :roll:

that is part of the intent of the xl.

I'm just saying that the U.S. doesn't have much to do with determining global pricing and that pipeline suppositions have nothing to do with it.

Here in the U.S.,our gas prices typically consist sixty something per cent due to crude pricing,next is taxes and then profits.
