When are Gas prices going down. Obama has done nothing.

[soccerballtux]

You think it's bad in the U.S.?

there's a reason those other countries are failing at "the economy" even harder than we are. They also don't have to drive everywhere like we do.

I actually dont want the president directly messing with any prices. That usually causes more problems.

Agreed. Americans really need to get over this idea of the President as Big Daddy what's in charge of making everything all better. Government solutions typically make things worse.

Tweakboy for President!

 

[bullbert]

ah, nevermind

 

[heyheybooboo]

ah, nevermind

Yeah.

You were really full of sheet on that one.

The price of a gallon of gas pretty much declined throughout the Clinton term and was no where close to $4/gallon:

Find a chart not in "Today's Dollars", but in "Actual Dollars".

Hey, Genius:

I didn't make an irresponsible claim and subsequently delete a bogus post, did I?

Your actions speak much louder than your BS.

And in the hopes of shutting your crap-hole:

Better, now, Jerk-Ass?

- gas is $2.90 a gallon at Costco here in the bay area

- Obama never promised to lower gas prices

- low gas prices are largely why we have historically consumed too much and have become addicted to foreign oil

I never paid any attention to Obama Senate campaign promises, but I do remember Hilary's promise to lower gas prices. Apples and oranges, yes. But I just thought I would toss that in there. I bet a lot of congress members made that same promise in the early to mid 2000s.

Now its almost 4 dollars still

its 2.48 where i live.

Gas prices are always higest in the summer months, when people are out driving more. They will fall near Oct-Nov and into the winter. Just like it always is. Just like it always will be.

really? gas is cheaper today July 27 than they were in January and cheaper than they were one year ago.

disclaimer: i am talking about where i live not nation wide.

 

[Trell]

Well here in jerzee its like $2.60. But we have one of the lowest gas state tax in the country. But we take it up the rear end with no lubrication every place else.

Not only do we pay the least, we get someone else to pump it for us

 

[hal2kilo]

You must live in Oregon or one of the other 2 or 3 states that won't allow you to pump your own gas because they're owned by the retail gas station owners lobby. Oh yea, they say it's for safety reasons. On the otherhand, if your disabled good luck finding a station in the other states that have an attendant to help you out.

Win some lose, lose some.

I recall something about Obama thinking gas prices aren't high enough and was talk of some crazy tax on gas to increase the price. You know, to force "green" stuff on us.

Heh.

Please provide a link to this before the "Obama is a do-do" crew comes in with their rants.

Gas prices aren't coming down, you can expect to see them rise quite a bit in the coming years. You're going to see double digit prices this decade, no matter who the president is or what he does.

Without severe inflation there is NO chance of double digit gas prices this decade. You think $10 would suck for us? How about China? It would cripple the richest nations, which means the poorest won't even be able to pay for their president's limousine. Don't worry about it. Even the most insane speculative bubbles will have a hard enough time breaking $5 for a week or two. The only way the US will pay $10 for gas this decade is if the dollar receives an unbelievable devaluation; it certainly won't be because of increased consumption by the rest of the world.

You know... I try to have an intelligent conversation/debate, and that's the best you can come up with? Ok.

With Dave McCowen? You haven't been around here long enough.

I saw no debate nor intelligence, only bullshit but I expect no less from a Texan influenced by big oil.

You forgot also to add that he hates America.

Next vehicle is going to be diesel.

Get a Prius. I am pimpin' high 40's MPG on 87 octane all day long in the city. Toyota has their national clearance event right now, lease it for under $200
