Personally, I’m not complaining.
I’ll take 2.00 a gallon over 4.00 a gallon any day!

It’s called “conditioning.”
...be careful, for years we were told to consider ourselves "lucky" we're not paying what they were in Europe. Now there's talk we should be at $4.00 a gal. to KEEP us prudent...don't fall for it. If I told you the government was going to take a $100 from you tomorrow and it turned out it was only $20...your suppose to feel lucky
The price should be somewhere between $1.35 to 1.75 per gallon right now, due to the drop of crude oil.
The price where I live was $1.75 a few months back. Now it’s $2.25. During this time the cost of crude oil has actually droppped a few dollars per barrel.
If crude goes up a few dollars, the cost of gas spikes immediately.
We now know that when the cost of crude goes down, the cost of gas trails far behind, and now even climbs by $0.50 cents per gallon.
I have defended the quick increase in the cost, due to gas station owners having to be able to replace stock.
What I will not defend, it the consumer obviously getting screwed over the oil companies. IMO< what is taking place right now is the corporations trying to continue to show massive profits, so that their stock costs will remain constant.
The average Joe can’t catch a break. Obama may have lopped off some drilling leases, but the public is still getting the shaft.
Well, it’s about $1.59 in Tulsa and *going down* finally (again). That’s great. I’ve heard that crude oil may bounce off the bottom at $20 a barrel, but I don’t know if that’s going to be the case. We may be at the bottom with $30 a barrel.
But, I would say to look for $3.00 a gallon (or pretty close to it) for this summer.

I was originally hoping that it would get down to 99-cents a gallon here in Tulsa, but it only made it to about $1.30 a gallon... :-)
