Gasoline.

Paid $2.96 a gallon Sunday. A quick look show none below $2.91 hereabouts - yet.

I paid $3.63 per gallon (8 cents+ for using CC) but prices here like Chicago tends to be one of the nation's highest. Watch out, Hummers may make a comeback.

Saw $2.90 yesterday. Recent demand below expectations. Production cuts will soon drive prices up.

No

this is the new economy with shale oil and fracking.
Saudi Arabia is planning to cut prices as a matter of fact.
Think about it...ISIS destabilizing the Middle East and prices are still dropping.
That would not have happened even 5 years ago.

Heard on the commie NPR today that OPEC says no way, they will not cut production.

They also said fracking in the US is largely behind world oversupply.

What do I know :shrug: I hope it hits a buck.

Strike while the iron is hot and bump the fuel tax rate by bringing it inline with inflation.

I absolutely agree.

We should jack up the gas tax to where it is in western Europe.

That's what I would do if I were dictator.

Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack.

Our gas tax goes nowhere near paying for the negative impacts of the American love affair with Land Yachts.

I'd make these big ass 4X4 pickem up truck and SUV drivers feel some serious pain.

The same goes for Truckers.

It's about time they started paying their own way.

They're gonna fix that problem by extra taxes and fees on electric cars, hybrids, and bicycles that use the roads and don't pay their respective share because they don't buy enough gas.

I can get behind that surprisingly. Those dang Segue Ways, too.

As long as it's proportional to the negative impacts created by the vehicles in question.

For example the negative impact of one redneck in a V-8 4X4 pick-up is equivalent to the negative impact of 22,752 tree huggers on bikes so for every dollar that a tree hugger on a bike pays, a redneck in a V-8 4X4 should pay $22,752.
