What Are You Paying For Gas Today?

I know we have yet to elect a president but it seems to be be all I ever read about here and what I always hear about on the radio or Tv. So just to change the subject with oil prices falling and as of today 10-19-08 around $70 a barrel.

What are you paying for a gallon of gas? Today I bought gas for $2.57 a gallon.

$2.72 as of yesterday. We should start to consider bailing out the oil companies, their profits are dropping precipitously. Oh, we're going to tax them more? I'm sure that'll help continue the trend.

$ 8.15 Per Gallon...or 1.60 Euros per litter..

You guys complain of starvation with a full belly....

You should see what we have to go thru for over 50 years, to be able to appreciate....bunch of whiners...

Yoiu guys really need to open your eyes....It's not the price of oil that is going down...it's the Dolalr that is raising...since a month ago....

The oil was expensive for you guys, because it's rated in US Dollars and the US Dollar fell like crazy since 2003 (guess what happened then)..thank you know who for it, becaue of the lowering of interst rates....

Go to XE.com...select the charts, see the Dollar Vs Euro charts....since September the US dollar started to raise..hence the oil going down now fot you guys...

Your politicians kiled the US dollar, and as a consequence the drum obviously costs more...Geee..blind people...

Our previous fill up was at $3.75/gallon. Yesterday we filled up for $2.85/gallon. So in about 4 weeks it dropped $0.90/gallon (Virginia).

This is very bad news, and it's all W's fault.

We need it back up to at least $4/gallon to curb demand and global warming.
Not to mention power boaters...

This is true, along with oil going down. China's demand is also off a lot. We'll see what Opec does this week.
