That's the stupidest thing I've read here in a long time: Someone farts in Africa or the Middle East and it changes the pricing at the pump and the trends immediately. Ain't nothing lagging about gas prices, except that they always go up faster than they come down, irrespective of the price of oil.

Believe it or not the price of oil doesnt have an immediate effect on the price of gasoline...the reason gas prices are dropping so fast is the lack of hurricanes and the overproduction of oil..this is why OPEC wants to scale back in order to keep the supply/demand artifically inflated so they can keep raping us

Yes, when someone steals $500 a day from you for a month, when they decide to steal $300 from you, you should thank them for leaving you the extra $200.

How is Bush "stealing" from you? I understand the numbers were just made up to make a point. But your underlying argument is that Bush has been stealing from you. How so?

My point isn't Bush is stealing from me, but more in general I'm not thanking anyone for the prices coming down when the prices didn't need to rise to begin with.

Oil costs $x.xx to pump out of the ground and process a year ago... It costs that same ammount today. The fact that the price has risen SOO MUCH makes me think there something fishy going on...

I don't believe that it's just magic that when Mr. Big Oil becomes president the price of oil skyrockets...

Your argument seems to try & grab some facts and assumptions and spin them into another "I hate Bush" rant. I understand that folks hate the man. But I don't see where this type of response furthers your cause. It just casts doubt on your own credibility. I am hard pressed to think of another industry that has been investigated more times for illegal pricing.
