Insane. Hmm guess this is what happens when prices are inflated for no reason, and the storm of the century known as Ike gusted through with a whimper. Go dollar, keep gaining. possible to see sub $90 soon? Or do you suppose that there will be some rise in prices as people invest at this low level? ---

I told you guys Thursday that if you filled up Friday you could probably miss the entire hurricane gas price spike because prices would be down by the time you needed to fill up again. ---

Prices have gone down a bit or at least stayed steady here. They’ve been holding right around $3.80 for the past few weeks. I’m waiting for them to start falling like crazy with oil prices but it’s just not happening. ---

Why is it dropping so much? Is this still related to the demand of it or is there other factors of why its dropping so much so fast? ---

Demand slowing, the dollar not blowing, and the economy going into the shitter meaning that people will have less money to blow on $4 gas.
