GonneVille Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Not a bad idea. But stockpiling ammo is probably money better spent, if McCain gets elected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverMaker Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Isn't this part of the rotating pricing cycle? Some regions get cheaper prices for a while then it rotates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Gas prices are a direct reflection of the market... When the market falls gas falls. All the overseas companies took there shares out of the market causing this fall after the bailout. Dont ask me why, but when the market falls gas is in less demand...(dont know how) causing the price to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I read somewhere where OPEC is holding an emergency meeting to try to put a stop to the plummeting oil prices. Fuckers. They've already been cutting production, with no effect. US consumption has dropped to where it was at back in 1999. The price of a barrel of oil dropped today to $77 from its peak of $147 only a few months ago, with no price floor in sight (it dropped over $9 today, about the same yesterday). If the prices keep falling like this, it will allow the GOP to take credit for it, which will validate McCain's proposed policies, as opposed to Obama's policy of inflating your tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, you may be right, it might be SEEN as validating his policies. Too bad it's wrong. Drilling more won't affect prices for years, and does nothing about global pollution. But Obama has never said "don't drill". He has said we should place more emphasis on reducing energy consumption and finding new ways to produce fuel. There are already experimental plants making petroleum through the use of algae, which CONSUME CO2 to produce fuel, rather than producing it as a by-product...and they do it for far cheaper than drilling...

If you have no information on it then fuck off. It is something I heard may be happening. I don't know what conspiracy theories you discuss because I skip over 90% of what you post. But back to what you originally said - prices are dropping at the pump, because oil prices are tanking. I don't see how "rotating prices," if this theory can even be found to be true, has any bearing on our current price drop. Prices are falling across the board, not only here. From what I've seen, our prices tend to always be a bit lower than the national average. I'm still waiting on the pump prices to catch up with the oil prices. Oil has dropped 50% off its peak, while gas has dropped 25% off its peak. It still has a ways to go. Of course, when we were paying $1/gallon, oil was somewhere around $15 - $20/barrel, so who knows where things will end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, its not a rotating situation, its a pipeline/refinery situation caused by "IKE." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, its not a rotating situation, its a pipeline/refinery situation caused by "IKE." Right. They are experiencing shortages right now, which means they naturally will have higher prices. We are fed by refineries that weren't affected by the storm, so we are at normal supply levels. This is NOT controlled price adjustments, this is certain parts of the country still recovering from a natural disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm sick of the prices falling,what's everyone going to complain about now?I drive about 80 miles a day so i'm loving it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 The GOP will probably find a way to take credit for it. On a positive note, I just got my car back last week and will be doing some major driving this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 - I think this is proof to the idiots who thought that our high gas prices were a result in a shortage of fuel. - IMO this also goes the opposite for McCain, as now people aren't nearly as focused on fuel costs, one of McCain's biggest issues (not to say Obama doesn't make a huge issue of it either, but McCain is more public with his drill, drill, drill policy...one I'm not against).
