    Re: Gas Price Check

    $4.01 for regular unleaded, the last time I checked. I'm not making this shit up. I remember the days when neo cons were quick to pant all over Dubya when "he lowered" the price to $2.25.

    I heard on T.V. tonight that when Dubya was just starting his first term the average gas price was $1.10 per gallon. Also when he started his first term the average persons zsalary was 49,000 per year. Now the gas prices are in the mid to upper 3 dollar range and the average salary is $48,000. Don't make sense.

    and gas was also running at $2.00 a gallon during the summers while bill was in office. and if you adjusted for inflation, the late 70's was almost as bad at the pump as it is now.

    It is what it is. Recessions come, recessions go. Gas prices soar, they fall back down. Part of the problem for higher oil prices is that there is a shortage in refineries. The other big problem is the dollar. While the dollar is finally starting to show signs of coming around against the euro (its been rising against other currencies for awhile now) the speculators are driving up the cost of oil futures, which isnt driven by the big oil companies.

    I dont think you quite understand how many different variables go into the cost of gasoline at the pump.

    We charge too much, that's enough of a variable.

    Yeah, I agree. Somebody's gonna take something too far and someone is going to end up all butt-hurt.

    Gas prices suck everywhere, but we keep paying.

    O.K., I will not bring it up anymore. We will just wait and see what happens in the future.

    $3.95/gallon--regular unleaded. I guess my social schedule is going to get majorly reduced this summer. Cant afford to go anywhere.
