With Sheetz card we paid $1.96 for a gallon of gas at Dahlgren yesterday. It's $1.99 without sheetz card.
So where are all the freaks on the right (ya hear me GRUPS, Hijinx,. Gilligan, MamaTutu) proclaiming their love of Mr. Obama?
One of their initial and, incredibly wrong (as usual) complaints about Mr. Obama was that gas prices were below $2 when he came into office and then rose. Of course, none of these mental giants understand that the President has zero impact on gas prices...how many times did that have to get explained to LG before he stopped stating it? None of them considered that we were in a damn near depression in early 2009.
Now that oil has dropped so drastically (also without any impact from a weak and ineffectual President), these same mental giants are either mute or have all of a sudden grasped the concept of supply and demand!
I paid 1.83 on the 2nd in Tappahannock, Va.

So wait... wait... wait.... I know that you won't be responding to this BUT...
Are you HONESTLY trying to say that the reason for gasoline at the pump falling in price more than 35% over the last 10-12 months is supply and demand and nothing more?
So I guess... according to you... that the world's demand for oil has dropped this much in the whole last 1 year -AND/OR- the supply has risen SO much.... and just all on it's lonesome with no political factors what-so-ever huh?
BRILLIANT!
in the mean time we should be drilling more wells here.
That cannot happen right now. In fact...the opposite is generally the case; there is beginning to be a major rollback and reduction in all manner of oil industry operations as the falling price makes fewer operations profitable enough to continue.
They don't need to pump, just drill the hole.
I think we could be, and should be, experiencing gas below $1.00 if this government would get our dependency off foreign oil, start drilling here at home/offshore, stand up more refineries, approve the Keystone Pipeline... And if we had been doing this from the beginning we should have never gone above $1.00.
I can't remember the article and I can't find the source but I thought I heard that oil prices are dropping because the foreign oil producers are flooding the market and trying to make it not profitable for the US to continue their drilling operations. The article said that the foreign companies are loosing money to try and run the US companies out of business and it also said it is projected that the days of the $100 + barrel are over for the foreseeable future. I could be way off and I wish I could find the article again but personally I think the drop in price gives us a much needed break especially during this time while trying to recover from the holiday's so I don't care who is responsible and I hope it continues for a little while.
