That's right folks, I filled my Jeep today for two dollars and thirteen cents per gallon for regular gasoline near Hilliard OH. I don't know why gas is going down but I do know that when the news stops talking about the horrible "Oil Crisis" we get some welcome relief, even if there is a pipline rusted out in Alaska. Here are some other possible reasons why the fuel prices are backing off. Feel free to weigh in and leave your feedback, or give your own reason.
1-The summer "rush" is over (but isnt' winter coming?)
2-New Orleans is back to normal, refining as much as ever
3-Bush has buddies in 'Big Oil' and he pulled some strings
4-Americans are using less fuel (so we dont' cause cancer in rats and Californians)
5-I am subsidising crude oil prices, Happy early birthday Sarah!
6-New drilling technology being used in Alaska doesn't disrupt the caribou and semi-extinct birds
7-New drilling in Alaska, and the caribou and birds are just dealing with it.
8-The Democrats want to win the next election
9-Exxon-Mobil discovered 'ethnic' imigrants (who actually work) so they are firing the white boys.
10-Winning the war in Iraq increases the stability, which equals more crude and less uncertainty on wall-street
10.5-Prices are'nt really coming down, I just think so because I got my gas at Wal-mart
It is still a sad day when we think $2.13 is cheap.

The oil companies are afraid. Afraid because people are starting to look at other options, like wind and solar and electric cars based on advances in batteries, capacitors and electric motors. Check out this. A hybrid with awesome perfomance.
Father Yoder thinks.. Big oil says , lets scare the public by telling them the Alaska oil line is, all of the sudden rusty, and needs to be shut down now, right before winter. Then everybody locks their heating oil in at $2.80. Big oil guarantees themselves a big profit over the next 6 months. I hope you didn't take the bait and lock in your fuel of any kind for this winter because you may have spent more than nessasary.
Hey abu: What is the sticker price on that mini cooper? I may want one to go to church in.
I am not seeing a price--this is not a production vehicle, but just a motor company showing off their cool electric motors.
I'm with the last part of J's post. My version: If they hit us with a sledgehammer long enough, we'll thank them for switching to a 2-lb. ball-peen.
Gas pricesgo up not because supply goes down, but because investors think they are going to.
But the truth is that we can do without a lot of the crude we burn if we'll get smart about the enegy pouring out of the thermonuclear furnace a mere 93 million miles from here.
gas is 2.37 here but am not complaining becouse i get 35mpg un like your jeep.
