Anybody else out there notice a pattern? That ever since "W's" been in office and totally screwed our relationship with OPEC (Not that it was that great to begin with), that at the beginning of the holiday season gas prices go through the "roof" and right before the apex of Christmas shopping begins and retailers are wringing there hands awaiting the onslot, gas prices dip slightly so " The Madison Avenue gang" can get theirs. Now if history serves as any guide to the future, there'll refineries going off line for maintenance and repair around the first of the year to justify gas prices going back up right after new years. Republicans need not respond (your to far gone as it is).

Right now the price of everything is just starting to take off because the dollar has been CRASHING HARD. The Canadian dollar is worth more now!!! Takes quite a few worthless dollars to buy anything. We haven't seen the full effect of the dollar's current devaluation as inflation yet and the value of the dollar will fall faster still as other nations try to unload it.

Gas prices should be real low. Everyone in here had a one day gas boycott that scared the oil companies because of the mass number of people in here who participated in the boycott. Don't fool with the people in here. The price of gas went way down. Good job everyone.

LMAO. In San Jose, we're already payng $3.25 per gallon, and it's been above $3.00 per gallon for quite some time. Not that we're known for having cheap gas, but it seemed like our prices used to be closer to normal.

All the time.
It never fails.....never have to wonder what "W" is going to do....just wait for any holiday, or vacation break and he's on the gas price change.....that's his cue to try and convince the country that the price of crude is spiraling,,,,,,guess he needs more war funding.
Sad!

Yes,... And just prior to the heating season.
We should go into Alaska and get our own oil. But the democrats have to think of the animals. God gave us our resources to use.
