Yeah but still paying between 2.65 and 2.50 a gallon at least up the East Coast. How was it that President Clinton was able to get us 97 cents a gallon of gas but Obama adds 1.50 at least on the gallon. Something is up. We need the 90’s back badly at least the economy.
Excellent point!
I’m sure some of it is taxes. Although I think the Fed creating 85 Billion NEW DOLLARS in our economy every month has more to do with it.
If our dollar was still pegged to gold, and the feds actually balanced the budget. Gas would probably be about 15 cents a gallon and our economy would be booming.
There is no question that low energy prices affects our standard of living and out life span.
$10 a barrel helped. I worked in the rent-a-rig oil business at the time the Saudis drove oil down that low. That's when good ole Billy added 5c a gallon tax on gas "for the general treasury" instead of the road fund - and got away with it.
