the money is not really the issue. An extra couple bucks at the pump is not really the point. I just really want this country to pull itself out of this mess, and by being able to get sub 4.00/gallon gas, my hopes are still very alive that it is “working” or “getting better”, so I am glad to see crude go down, cause this means that 3.99 will likely turn back to 3.95 the next few days, and at least it is holding steady there, and hopefully will for some time, if not decrease. ---

Oil has to hold these drops before you can start hoping for change in gas prices. ---

Looks like it will settle down $5.33 for the day to $136.04 a barrel. :tup: Lets see what the rest of the week brings. The government inventory report will come out tomorrow and it’s expected to show decreased US demand over the 4th. If that holds true maybe we’ll see steady price drops tomorrow too. ---

Further proof that bad news sells (as if we needed more proof). The last two days as oil slid $9 you had to go into the business section of [cnn.com](http://cnn.com) to see any news about it. It goes up $2 today and it makes the main page. ---
