i can’t find any numbers on gasoline consumption in summer vs winter. I’d be interested to see them though. Not sure what would win out… idling engines, wheel spin in slippery conditions, and slow traffic in winter vs muscle cars, motor homes, boats, etc. :eekdance: ---

horrible idea… hedge gas and use the profits to pay the difference (if you are correct). get some education in finance and do it right. ---

This thread contains much fail. Gas prices DO normally rise in the summer. Especially, when refiners switch production over from heating oil to gasoline. They do this because America uses more gasoline during summer driving months. That being said, I’m really not sure what will happen this summer. I don’t think anyone will have much of an idea until after Obama takes office (for various reasons.) ---

Yeah, black jesus will solve this **global** economic crisis. [http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/05/news/economy/obama\_stimulus/index.htm?postversion=2009010505](http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/05/news/economy/obama_stimulus/index.htm?postversion=2009010505) Woohoo, an extra 500 for individuals, and 1000 for couples will surely get this economy moving. That’s our big middle class tax cut? :lol: :banghead: :mamoru: ---
