Id like to see it down to about $2 a barrel. That's about what Id be content paying per gallon. Then drop a price cap on it, fixing it at $2/barrel for 10 years. Let the oil people take a profit hit, greedy bastids.

edit- lowest Ive seen is $2.60/gallon in NJ

Do you mean gallon or barrel?

2 dollars per barrel would be free gas.

I know you're old, so I just want to make sure you said what you meant. ^_-

Eh? What'd you say, sonny? Talk into my good ear.

Yah per gallon. haha. Though per barrel would be nice too.

Sleep need. Zombie turn into.... brainssssss...

BTW, did you end up getting a PS3?

Oooh... Burn.  :'(

theyve decided that prohibitive taxes are now likely and want as much money as they can get before that happens.

Not as bad as $1.10 a liter.

I pay less than 2.50/gal. I like this trend. Keep trending down oil!

When the price of oil goes up, the price of gas back home goes up immediately.
When the price of oil goes down, the price of gas back home goes down very slowly so they can milk their profits, those greedy worthless piles of shit that are ruining the world.
It has always been this way.

The reason that gas is not plunging as fast as oil is because the cost to refine has risen. Even if when back to 15 dollars a barrel (what it was when gas was under 1 dollar) gas would not fall under 1 dollar.

Also, I called this back in June... when oil was closing in on 150 and gas was 4.30 a gallon. It was a bubble that was popped by the economic crisis.
