Cheney called all his friends; “Hey you bastards; we’re trying to keep the Dems out because we may be impeached over here if they get in! C’mon….”

yeah, considering that even the dems are saying ‘hey, there is absolutely no impeachable offense, and we would be slitting our wrists to try something as stupid as impeachment proceedings.’

when even Pelosi and Reid say that impeachment is out of the question, you know you are a moonbat….

and historical trends mean nothing… gas prices NEVER raise for the summer…. asshat.

The head of Chrysler said that they’re going to design vehicles as if gasoline is already $3 to $4/gallon. As much as I like high-horsepower, pavement pounding V8s, reality dictates that our mainstream vehicles had better be more efficient. Our auto industry shouldn’t get suckered into a false sense of security like they did when we had those oil surplusses. Stay the course with alternative fuels and maximum efficiency.

i saw 2.80 on my way home from my girlfriends alst night and stopped to fill up. i didnt even need gas but it was just so low! if gas goes down to 2.00 the economy is going to skyrocket. hopefully it stays down. i would be happy with 230/240/250

As much as I love gas guzzling power machines, this last gas spike really made me think how much I need at least one car tha gets good mileage.

holla. daddys gonna get new choes by christmas.

Gas prices would drop even more if Hummer didn’t exist. Their dedicaton and devotion for consuming as much fuel as possible helps nobody except Big Oil. Get rid of em

so far I’ve seen 2.62

so far i have seen 2.73 finally something poseitive that is happening with the gas prices

this is the first good news i’ve heard in a while….. although my beloved vdub will be in the shop due to a dumb-ass that rearended me.

Yeah, sure, I’ll believe it when I see it.
.
That being said, I remember prior to election time in 2004 there was a convenient and noticable drop in gas prices and this is the same old **** to keep the friendlies in power (hey, I voted Bush and still prefer him to the pathetic alternatives).
.
If it drops to 2.30 by Thanksgiving it’ll be back up to 2.89 by Christmas, guaranteed. It’s a national price-fixed gasrape. Freakin thieves.

that’s true.. always try to drop the price a TINY bit then back up like a whole dollar per gal.

I’m still seeing $3.26 (I live in Brooklyn, NY)…

…since there’s no new oil discovered – the Chinese haven’t decided to run Walmart factories on cow dung – no new refineries in decades – Hummers can’t take a pill and get 30mpg: the only change is the Nov. elections. “You’re either with us or a’ginst us.” says the current leadership.

j i m

Cedar Rapids Iowa – $2.55. I NEVER EVER thought I’d be happy to see that price!

so Ricadro..you happy defend you vote for Bush yet inthe next sentence you call him a theif…not him directly but he is aprt of the problem

the difference is:
-temporary stability (no matter how fragile and short termed) in the middle east.
-change of seasons, the summer rise is dropping. check historical trends and pull your head out of your ass.

of course, I sure rove is behind it all :shakinghead:

All right, f@ckers. Start buying SUVS again…..

isn’t this an election year. Throw the masses a bone…we got plenty of time to screw with them later. So blantant yet nothing you could do, just take it up the a..

i understand you comment now Ricardo. thanks. Personally i have never liked Bush and i laugh at anyone you continues to call Kerry a flip-flopper. The war on Terror…eeer…freedom…eeeeeer search for WMDs…i mean to get Sadam out…i mean……understand what im saying? Personally i have no respect for our president as i think he represents us to the world very poorly. Pour grammar/appearance/speech/stance and all around presentation. Late night tv could spend a week replaying clips of him stumbling over words or making stuff up (non-senseical is my favorite so far) i think if Bush wants to be remembered in history as a good president the best thing he can do is give the gvnt control of gasoline prices just like they control how much a farmer can sell Milk for. but i know that will never happen.

I wish they would stop luring people into false senses of security. Even if gas prices do dip down the max production of oil has long passed, we need conservation now more then ever unless the government wants to start dipping into reserves…

Cheapest gas I’ve seen is 2.58

ss if you are going to talk about poor grammar, check out your own statement for a mass amount of grammatical errors.

im not the president of the United States. im aloud to make those mistakes. This is an internet message board, im not sending my posts out for editorial revisions. Insult me all you want, I don’t care.

Okay gents, this will help relive pain at the pumps. I wish I were an Aussie trucker ….

BROTHELS TAKE THE STING OUT OF PUMP PRICES
.
Hot and bothered by rising pump prices? Australian brothels are offering clients discounts based on their gas bills.
.
“If you come in and spend time with one of our lovely ladies, we’ll give you a discount of 20 cents a liter,” Kerry, manager of Sydney brothel The Site, told Reuters Wednesday.

Mind you a discount of 20 Aussie cents per liter is about 55 US cents a gallon. That’s real money when I combine it with my 5% off card at Shell …

hookers…. LOL

I truly believe that this rise in gas prices, even with a likely settling to a more consumer palatable $2.30/gallon range, will benefit the product development and vehicle buying decisions. If not, then Americans truly are hypocrites.

The momentum of higher gas prices should have resulted in increased development of ethanol and diesel powerplants for larger passenger vehicles and more efficient gasoline vehicles with turbos for the smaller commuters. I’m never going to be convinced on hybrids but there is a better way and hopefully this spike made the consumer demand that OEM’s develop other alternatives.

I’ll be interested to see if the left says that the dropping gas prices were a result of “the war for oil’s success” or whether they admit that it’s a good thing for the consumer.

We’re still well below an inflation adjusted gallon of gas from the Ford / Carter years, however.

David, not sure if Jim told you, but the Ford/Carter prices were the result of Bush and Rove…

$2.49 per gallon this morning here in SC.

Yeah sure that’s nice and all, but… when will it be $1.18 again?

I can see a position (from the conspiracy theorists) that the Bush Admin’s oddly non-committal policy on Hezbollah and therefore with Iran, led to this decrease in pricing and thus we’re truly defining our international policy based on gas pricing.

Completely ignoring that fact that Chavez and Venezuela impact the US’ oil pricing and supply as much if not more than the middle east.

There’s always a spin… but per J-Ro’s comment, I don’t believe that $1.18/gallon is coming back.

The only negative impact I see out of the lowering of pricing will be the tree huggers getting back to defending what is a frozen wasteland (no bunny rabbits bounding about or elk grazing as shown on CNN) of ANWR.

If the US truly wants to get away from a dependence upon foreign oil, we’ll incent through tax credits not just the purchase of hybrid vehicles but the investment in research into more efficient powerplants for vehicles and also for the expansion of our own domestic and near-domestic (off the coast of Florida) oil exploration and oil refining capacity.

its funny how hummer gets grief for having bad fuel economy but not sports cars with big motors and bad fuel economy. the hummers that are being sold now get around the same fuel economy as other suvs. I’d like to know your thinking that hummers are the reason fuel costs are high and how them not being around would lower fuel costs. with the percentage of hummers compared to vehicles on the road, I would bet it is less than 1% and has nothing to do about the cost of fuel.

most of the sports car that get 9mpg are not daily drivers. most of the 911s get in the 20mpg, the Corvette gets nearly 30mpg.

also if you take into account usefulnes of the car/truck how many times have you seen a hummer with only one person in it? all those empty seats.

itll just go down and then go higher than before

In Rockville MD gas was mid $3’s, and where I was in NY before I left there it was roughly $3.08. You guys are damn lucky, where I live it’s $3.10~.
Untill gas actually goes down I will not believe them. They have been saying this for over a year, has it happened? NO, it’s stayed at high $2’s or low $3’s.

also… guess what company recently had the highest retirement amount in US history?
…….

And the correct answer is.. EXXON!
What does that tell you besides that you need to work for Exxon? That they’re robbing us.
Hey somebody do me a favor, my browser is working very slow so I will not bother with it. Someone try to figure out the supply and demand, and then figure out how much it costs without inflation or taxation. I read somewhere that they inflate it signifigantly, but I have no facts to prove that just someones word.

Hummer’s aren’t the problem by themselves. Their size and gaudiness simply earned them the role of “poster-child” for the nearly 15 years of wasteful SUV as a fasion statement that swept the U.S.

Many people complain that GM dispropotionately takes the blame for gas-guzzling SUVs when just about every manufactuer makes one. They do, but it’s understandable. GM catches all the **** simply because they make to most SUVs, the largest SUVs, and more than any other manufactuer their profitability as a whole is tied to SUVs and trucks.

columbus,oh…$2.49/ga.

“its funny how hummer gets grief for having bad fuel economy but not sports cars with big motors and bad fuel economy”

Sports cars, in the traditional sense – if were to consider Mercedes SL55’s, Ferrari’s et al as super cars get excellent gas mileage. MX5’s, S2000s, Solstices et al are “sports cars”. . I would even group Civic Si’s, WRX’s Scion TC’s and the like into that category. It’s really subkective since the line keeps getting redrawn as companies try to redifine the segments, like the word “coupe” is rarely ever used correctly. I definetly agree that cars like the Corvette and 911 may be seen as gas guzzlers, but consider the weight of these cars versus a Hummer, and while it certainly doesn’t make them gaz mizers, driven by sane individuals they would get decent mileage versus a soccer mom in an H2. Not to mention most sports cars are held to stricter mileage and emissions standards (this is where supercars get excluded, because they are exempt too) than SUV’s.

2.38 here

Hummer H2 here I come

For those Exxon haters out there here is the sobering truth, out of that three dollar gallon of gas Exxon’s profits are drum roll…. less than 10 cents( 9 to be exact) meanwhile the politicians that want to investigate this puppy are getting 47 cents off that same gallon, who’s robbing who?

2.75 the best I saw today (Boston + South Shore) but I still see some with 2.95/2.97. Pretty sad…

I find it a bit hard to believe that Exxon is profiting 9 cents on a gallon when they are making $36 billion or so on $100 billion in revenue.
.
Now, I know accounting, and they probably divisionalize the whole thing such that their refinery ops make 9 cents a gallon while delivery makes 20 cents and extraction makes a 60 cents or whatever and admin makes 10 cents and barrel flipping makes 25 cents, but a 36% profit in a mature industry is incredible to say the least, unless there are oligopolistic tendencies in play.

Central Florida $2.81. Its all Mickey Mouse all the time here. Even if the price goes down to two bucks, and I doubt it will, we should get rid of the three things that are major factors in this price volatility – the oxygenated fuel requirement and the twin bans on ANWR and offshore drilling. ECON 101. More supply, price drops. Higher price, more supply. The current policies of the obstructionists in both parties is restricting our available supplies.

We may or may not be at peak oil, but we should buy ourselves some more time to come up with alternatives. We have wasted the last 30 years.

Democrats and Republicans be damned.

Cheapest I have seen here is 2.79.

2.XX???? I just payed 3.25. Welcome to LA.

http://www.mx.autocosmos.com/contenidos/videos.asp i found this page and looks like the 2007 Honda CRV is already for sale in Mexico

I think it was more like 8 billion in the first quarter out of 89 billion in total sales for that same quarter, The cost componants are from the energy dept, also keep in mind that numerous congressional investigations have not found any evidence of “price fixing” amoung the major suppliers. Most econonmic analysis I have read suggests that the primary reason for the high prices is due to massive economic growth in China and India,causing a spike in demand for oil(industrial growth) and gasoline(China has had an explosion in car ownership. I am not saying that big buisness are all angels and so on, but I just tend to disagree with the knee-jerk reaction of blaming corporations for every ill in the world, when these problems are the result of complex factors comming together.

Big Oils’ best friend is General Motors. 12 GMT-900 SUV’s and a brand devoted to gas consumption (HUmmer) pays off big time!

Thank you GM!

Great all the retards with Excursions and Hummers will be all over the roads again. Just when the roads were starting to clear out a bit.

Hate to see prices falling, going to miss all the $$$$
We all whine when it’s barely over $3.00 European countries pay way more than we do.

If you look at ExxonMobile’s web site you can find a chart that shows the price of gasoline in various places around the world. It shows the price for the gasoline itself is very consistant world wide. The variable are the taxes that are charged by governments. Some governments charge more in taxes than the cost of gasoline. The argument that other countries have to pay a lot more has nothing to do with the price of the gasoline, but everything to do with how much a government can tax their people and get away with it.

Greedy oil companies should use their $10 billion plus profit to ease our pain at the pump. They can keep oil prices at 2.00/gal and still make lot of money because people will travel more.
