I went to "town" for errands, and stopped at my favorite Mobil station. I was shocked to see folks lined up waiting to get gas....I have NEVER seen that before...and realized that the price had dropped to $3.79.9 ($3.80), and folks were actually excited! I could not believe that people were wound up over the fact that they were talking about how LOW the price of gas was. This is what it has come to.
AuburnTim Champion Author Indiana Posts:6,828 Points:1,559,190 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Oct 26, 2012 10:27:09 PM Ignore AuburnTim Report Abuse Crude is down from $91 last week to $85 this week there have been no refinery fires or glitches and the hurricane isn't coming close to any refineries or platforms so there is no reason whatsoever for prices to rise. But I keep forgetting that a few cents increase in crude prices cause at least a 30 to 40 cent spike at the pump. As you notices though when crude dropped $6 in a week pump prices have only dropped a few cents.So no politician can take credit for a dam thing. They all say they can't do anythinga bout rising prices so therefore they can not take any credit for any decreases either. It boils down to big businesses are able to do as they please and corruption is rampid in all big business big oil for starters. Enjoy the so called low prices while they last Xmas is coming and big business needs to buy those big expensive presents for their families and friends so prices will spike again soon.
