Used SUVs are dropping in price, the larger they are the faster they are dropping.

after amnesty, if each illegal is required to bring with them two gallons of gas, we'll be just fine.

Well I can say this much, if the Gas prices are still outrageous in October/November there will be a lot of politicans looking for new jobs.

Only if investors start getting FEARS about possible FEARS in the future, and that causes them to have FEARS. In that case, I FEAR that it might happen, I am AFRAID to say.

Still under $2.60 in the Peoples Republik of Madistan, WI.

But, never fear! Governor "Diamond Jim" Doyle is forcing Ethanol down our throats, so pretty soon the Government will be paying ME to drive my car because 'Corn is King!'

That's how it works, right? *Smirk*

"Nobody's got a gun to your head forcing you to buy gas. Go get a bike"

Thats a great Idea!

Why didn't that Dumb-ass Jimmy Carter think of that?...oops, I guess he did. That was his idea too!

As I've said a million times:

1. Get a smaller car and/or more fuel efficient car.

2. Move closer to work, even though it may mean a smaller house.

Until then, quit whining. It annoys the rest of us.

"Gasoline has the amazing ability to turn otherwise reasonable people into raving Marxists."


You forgot about Wal-Mart. It's does the same thing to some people. And some Wal-Mart's sell gas too. Double chance to bask Capitalism.

Look at how the anti (illegal) immigration people want the government to throw good money after bad on that issue.

Look at how Bush created a Prescription Drug entitlement.

Yes, we need more people who realize that they can take care of themselves and that they do not need a big brother.

Due to the shortage of IT workers, so far they are, thank you.

And build an ocean current energy plant in the Gulf Stream. And harness the geothermal energy of Yellowstone Park. I have written all my leerless feeders on these topics - response? Form letters.

"more than often wrong. " The Lundberg family busines is the most quoted on gasoline prices. I'm under the impression that their batting average is close to the one claimed by Rush.

the specultors. . . . not at the corporate offices of Exxon, Cheveron, etc.

What makes you think that the corporations are not the speculators? I'll bet they are a major force at the margins for short term profits ... and to hedge their long term bets.

But speculation can only have a short term impact. Long term trends are dictated by government overregulation that requires so many different formulas that can each be sold in a limited area, and by regulations that prevent new refinery capacity, and by taxation, and of course by supply and demand.

Well, that's good. For most people it doesn't work out quite like that.

And then we can be entertained by the stockbrokers here telling us how competitive and free the market is, no colluding, etc.

Thanks.
