Because it's good news???
Down to 2.12 in SW Missouri.
No. Because prices in NC are not way down. Still hovering around Katrina prices. 2.69(in Fayettenam) Of course oil is down as are gas prices itself from those highs. Still sticking it to us. NC has 3rd highest gas prices in country.
Good news is bad news to the MSM....
Well, to be honest, I did see some stories in the past few days that gas prices were falling. In past days, I've seen stories where the "average price...has dropped $0.25." It certainly feels like more around my house too. It's not being trumpeted by the MSM, that's for sure. They're all focusing on possible indictments coming against those with ties to the White House.
2.38/gal in Central IL. I did get my first natural gas bill of the season and it is already 1.17 therm which is awfully high for this early in the season. I normally don't see it climb this high espscially in October.
Way down from what? To most Americans, they are still way up.
Because the MSM only reports and reports and reports when 'the chicken little syndrome' can be used. Notice I said can be used, such as the Katrina episode.
THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING.
Because most rational people don't consider $2.25 a gallon to be "low"?
First off, you can't get Bill O'Reilly to shut up about it. He's taking credit for it himself!
On the other hand, you're right. However, what should be big news is that not only isn't the price of diesel fuel falling, it's been going up. My guess is that the same is happeneing for fuel oil too. I don't know why, but it's going to increase prices on EVERYTHING.

Why are gas prices news anyway?
Who buys gas and doesn't know if the prices are higher or lower? Really.
I know, the reason it matters now, is because the LSM makes hay of high prices to bash Pres. Bush. Personally if the LSM NEVER again informed me of "news" that is freakin plastered on signs all over town.
Complain if you want, but IMO you're just playing to the laziest version of "reporting" EVER.
Down 50 cents in the past month here in my part of NC.
They are far too busy recreating the journalistic "Glory Days" of Watergate (Valerie Plame!) and Vietnam (2000 Americans dead in Iraq!) to notice anything as mundane as a growing economy and falling energy prices.
" yet I see no word from the MSM about this development! Why??"
You obviously know the answer, but it's good to point this out.
I wonder the same thing daily, $2.07 in my area.
I wonder if the $7.00/gallon guy is still getting press coverage?
Bush's fault...er, uh, I mean, its Bush's fault that it hasn't fallen more.
2.48 in Massachusetts this AM.
Yup, here in SE Pennsylvania too. I noticed a crowd of cars at our nearby Shell station this morning, and saw that they had gas at 2.299. The station across the corner was selling at 2.379, and was moving only milk and cigarettes this morning! I immediately called my hubby with the good news.
The MSM isn't reporting it because it's good news. They are too busy talking about the 2,000th death in Iraq and drooling over the possibility of indictments. I paid $2.25 yesterday at a BP here in the Detroit suburbs.
