Gas prices aren't dropping

Why aren't fuel prices dropping like expected? There is a web site that
shows a graph of fuel prices since 1995. I thought after the war we would
see a decrease, but regular gas is up 10 cents a gallon from the same time
last year. See it at www.storydata.com

 

They did drop.....for awhile....got to $1.49/gal after a high of $2.10. It
has risen back to $1.76/gal now. I had heard the same thing.....to expect
prices to drop as well. Oh well!

 

Seems to be regional. I paid 1.339/gallon for unleaded regular last
night in ne NJ.

 

Or everyone could quit buying these big ass vehicles and go easy on the
environment. There isn't unlimited resources on this planet. Crank up the
gas prices. I like to hear these people bitch about spending $40 $50 to fill
there suv's.

 

I am going to drive what I want, and if it cost $50 to fill it up F*** it.

I don't do alot other than golf a few times a month, and I'll be dammed if I
am going to go to work everyday just to feed the goverment more tax money! I
may even buy H2............yeah 7 mpg.

The goverment got us us into this mess, kissing the enviromentalist's asses.

But the old station wagons are no longer made, so that leaves SUVs for
loading the kids and doing the bulk shopping.

 

accord station ?

 

Not as big as the old style Station Wagons. Those things were roomy, like
SUVs.

 

Oil company execs and their political friends play no part in this
dance, do they?

 

you mean like, our president and vice president?.......nah, they don't have
a bit of interest in big oil.
btw. now that the oil is flowing again in Iraq why aren't prices dropping?

BJ's warehouse has regular for $1.44/gal. $1.57 normally

NY metro area (not NJ, lol)

 

I'm glad that the prices haven't gone up since your country stopped the
shooting. When the first shots were fired, our price for gas started
dropping. Was at 89.9 cents a litre ($3.60 a US gallon), went down to 69.9
cents a litre ($2.80 a US gallon) and has since only moved a couple of cents
at a time. First going up, then down the same amount the next day.

 

How long has it been since your country has bought Iraq oil?

 

Maybe if Canadas' socialist govenment stopped all the free handouts,
maybe your gas prices would be lower?
social welfare programs = high taxes = very high fuel taxes
just a thought

 

Im thinking, that you might think, that democrats dont have any
interest in oil companys???

read and let the truth set you free

 

And maybe, the politicians would have a bigger paycheque (this being much
more likely than, us getting taxed less).

 

politicians will always have a bigger paycheck, that's one thing here
in the states all politicians always agree on, but if you cut some
unneeded pork from government spending your taxes will go down, and if
not then you need to elect politicians that will cut your taxes,
remember its your money and they work for you,, not the other way
around im pretty sure the Canadian government can start cutting pork
spending by cutting funding for every immigrant that comes into your
great country with their hand out asking for free housing and free
medical care,, even though they just got there and didnt pay a dime in
Canadian taxes, maybe then your gas prices would start to come down

 

Well, I was born here, but, my great grandparents came from Europe. So, I
have to say that I don't have a problem with us allowing people to immigrate
to our country. And, it's only right that they have their health taken care
of, to prevent them spreading any diseases to the rest of the population.
Gas prices will come down when we manage to put a curb on the greed of the
owners and shareholders. That is the only thing that continues to keep the
price of gas as high as it remains.
