$70 a barrel is still pretty damn close to the record.

Remember:
1. Price of crude goes up - Gas prices go up 20% more than cost instantly
2. Price of crude remains constant - Gas prices go up 10% in anticipation of crude going up soon
3. Price of crude goes down - gas prices remain steady encase the price of crude goes back up
4. Price of crude continues to fall or remains down - Gas prices fall 1/2 of the percentage crude price fell over a period of several weeks

Competitive pricing at some of the stations around here seems to be heating up pretty good. Maybe we'll get to see a hell of a price war break out soon.

Not really. Try over $90 a barrel.

Chavez, who has called Bush a "terrorist"

No doubt the writer stayed up all night, burning the midnight oil, coming up with this relevancy.

THe scariest part of that article was that we apparently SELL ARMS to Venezuela now -- otherwise banning the sale wouldn't mean anything.

What goes up, must go down.

Not necessarily, in an inflation. Inflations, when they get steep, produce numerous rapid price rises as people try to outguess the rates. That creates sharp price spikes. The more extreme spikes are followed by sharp drops, usually steeper than the rise. More and more a moving average should be used to see the actual progress of the inflation rise. Most of the excess money created by the FED in the last 6 years (Bush'e "devaluation") has been sucked up by foreign banks trying to keep their dollar reserves from declining in value and have not translated into price increases except in energy and housing. Those stashed dollars are coming back into the market in what the Wall Street gurus are calling a dollar selloff. They will now be competing for goods and services. I have noticed that, at least in my local area, the prices of things I buy every week have been increasing significantly over the last couple of weeks.

Nymex gasoline futures fell 12.45 cents to settle at $2.054 a gallon

So, since the dealers determine the pump price on their replacement cost (or at least that's what they tell us when it goes up), then we should see a drop at the pumps of about 12 cents tomorrow. Right?
