    Gas Prices

    According to today's paper, Gas has just dropped below $3.00 a gallon there. Really?? Hell, it's been below that here for about 2 months. Now hovering between $2.30 and $2.60 depending on town and county. In OK City, it broke below $2.00 a gallon this week. I know there was a thread a while back about gas prices being slow to drop there, but WTH??? MONTHS after the rest of us?
    Let me articulate this for you:

    Where are our politicians

    I remember when Brian Higgins and Chuck Schumer were going to investigate the high gas prices in our area.
    Had that investigation ever finished?
    Or was it just another political ploy to give the peons some hope.

    Yea, that was years ago and we never heard a peep after. Now we have to launch a new "investigation" Its just a way for the idiots to look like they are doing something while kicking the can down the road.

    Stations around here can have a 20- 30 cent difference lately, that's never happened before. What is going on? Is it the NOCO boys?
    Democrats & Republicans Suck Alike.

    Looks like it has been just another political snow job that our area Demoracts made and did not keep. Politicians must think we are really dumb.

    Drive less and carpool, gas prices won't be as important.

    I agree. Lower gas prices just encourage more irresponsible behavior. Those who can take a buss or walk or ride a bike should man up and do it to help our economy, our environment, and our energy independence.

    But instead they salivate over being not able to drive more for less money. They'll keep getting fatter, and getting cancer, and complaining about not being able to ruin our enviroment and exhausting our own natural resources because their fat sorry unhealthy bodies couldn't walk a mile or two to get their beer and potato chips.

    But instead they salivate over being not able to drive more for less money. because gas prices have a direct impact on the cost of goods and services. They'll keep getting fatter, thanks largely to GMOs and highly processed garbage foods and getting cancer,see above. and complaining about not being able to ruin our enviroment and exhausting our own natural resources because their fat sorry unhealthy bodies couldn't walk a mile or two to get their beer and potato chips.
    well wait, do you trully believe that our resources will be exhausted with in your life time? why not just exterminate those fat lazy people so they can use any of your precious resources?

    gas prices affect everything.

    what you really should be asking is, why is the price of oil falling thruogh the floor?
