Yeah, I phrased my question wrong. Really I was curious why growth was so slow with a booming dow.Mikeinsmd said:

There's is nothing that makes me absolutely HOOT with mirth than when the news dudes try to convince us that the economy is bad because it's not growing at the rate it did in a previous month. It's still growing, isn't it?
DUH!!!!
So if we have a record growth month, but the next month doesn't beat the record, does that mean the economy went down?
I'm sure you saw it on MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, The Wash Post, the New York Times.......Bustem' Down said:

I didn't, but on the subject of economics I actually am. I'm better at grammar and spelling if that tells you anything.Mikeinsmd said:I think you know but still wanna clarify that my "stupid" comment wasn't directed at you.

The prices change because the ingredients in the fuel changes in the winter
"Summer gasoline is given a lower volatility to avoid vapor lock and minimize evaporative losses. Winter gasoline (both conventional and oxygenated) is given a higher volatility to facilitate starting and warmup. The compositional changes required for the shift from summer gasoline to winter gasoline decrease the gasoline's energy content."
The price of winter gas and summer gas is probably almost the same.
Gas is in higher demand in the summer. People do a lot more traveling in the summer than the winter. Demand for gas is at the highest point during the summer. When demand rises so does the price.

Growth is growth. But it is more about how the real numbers line up with expectations. If the predictions show that the economy is booming, the market will digest that information accordingly. If the actual number is .95 X booming then the market will have to readjust its bearings and track downward (at least temporarily).
If you watch cnbc on a day when a number like GDP is coming out they'll say consensus is that it's 2.2%. Well, if the number comes in at 1.5% the market will correct to that new figure. Same thing for corporate earnings, if you are expected to make .50 cents a share, and you only make .45 cents a share, well it's good and all that you still had a profit, but the market is gonna beat you into the ground for missing their expectations.

That can't be possible. Everyone knows that Fox News only puts out information that was specifically approved by Karl Rove.Bustem' Down said:

"Probably" is not supported by Fact.... support your argument.
When it comes to gas prices .30 cents makes a big difference.......

you never suplied any facts that one gas mixture is more expensive than the other. Your argument is no more valid than mine.

Ok Pingpong, pay attention. I didn't comment on what you said, I merely stated the obvious; that you are a dolt.pingrr said:
You said a lot more than: "high oil prices are not good for the economy and that they drive inflation". Go back and read what you wrote.
LordStanley is correct that additives are added. It's common knowlege. Try to focus on what's happening around you.

Here's how I look at it.
How can I help our economy?
And the only three things I can gather is to not buy Chinese imports and Citgo gas and to vote.
Other than I cant' do anything. So why even think about it something I can't control?
Now the amount of Mt Dew I indulge myself in...that I can control. And the amount of pancakes I'm going to eat tonight...that I can control. And how many lights I leave on in the house...how long I take a shower...counting to ten so I don't pull the idiot at the drive thru out from behind their sliding window....those I can control.

Actually not buying citgo gas to help the American economy and hurt Venezuela is a myth.

It can have a small effect on Citgo receiving Franchise fees, so it isn't completely worthless. You are correct it has no effect on their actual fuel sales.Bustem' Down said:
It's just a token effort, but I'll continue, since the Calvert Citgo stations are also owned by Gott. Two arrogant ignorant dictators with one stone.
