I think we are beginning to see a decline in demand in response to high prices," he saidI think the market is working.

If oil prices are going down, they why were they raised from 2.15 a gallon to 2.30 a gallon here in central Indiana? More price gouging............

Because so much refining capacity is off line and the emergency shipments of fuel to US from Europe will stop shortly with the unloading of the last tanker.
Expect gas prices to hike up again
Thanks dims and environazis.

[World oil prices fell further on Friday, with New York's main contract plunging to the lowest point in almost four months, owing to mild temperatures in the United States...]
Okay, follow me on this.
George Bush gets a call from his oil buddies.
They say "the heat is on us in the Senate because we're making such obscene profits from the price of gasoline being so high."
Bush is told to do something to give Big Oil cover to "temporarily" lower its prices so Americans can forget about how Big Oil is screwing them.
Bush calls Karl Rove who promises to take care of it.
Rove flies down to his secret cave in Antarctica in an SR-71 and fires up the weather machine giving us a temporary warm spell here in the U.S. for a few days.
The world oil markets see all the evidence for global warming and "Voila!" the price of oil falls.
Americans go back to watching "Survivor" and forget all about the price of oil for awhile, paving the way for Big Oil to jack up the price of gasoline again in the middle of winter so they can make more obscene profits.
When will we wake up?

Wife saw gas at $1.91 a gallon on the way to work today- it's certainly welcome.

Strange stuff here in OH too. Prices have been dropping slowly but surely, down to an average of about 2.16, then just a few days ago we were delighted to see 2.03 at a couple of places, then the very next day those places went back up to 2.25.

I think it's strange that gas is $2.25gal when the price per barrel is around $58.
It has to go back up. Sorry.

Price gouging, aka, setting a price that the market will bear.
Gas was as high as $3.20 around here, now down to $2.75. DAMN GAS TAX!

maybe the state is raising your gas tax,
Here in NC the cheapest I have found is $2.39 for reg. We have the one of the top 3 gas tax rates in the country. Our Gov Easley (it's so easley to raise taxes) has no plans on lowering the rate any time soon

I bought gas in Frederick, MD on 11/09 for 2.16 a gallon. It has come down to around 2.36 per gallon in Silver Spring, MD. I'm sorry to hear its about to go back up.

The MARKET dictates supply, demand and prices.

Pity the oil companies. Some may not survive this catastrophic market crash.

Just wait, BP has threatened to cut production if Washington state doesn't allow them to run more, larger tankers in the Puget Sound. Gasoline for eight western states is produced in WA.
