Gas under $3.00 a Gallon is still expensive for burger flippers and part-time store clerks struggling to pay the bills they generated when earning twice as much.<br /><br />It could be a boon to a certain someone in the Oval Office...if the price dip endures long enough to really matter. Maybe it'll make someone else look good who really did nothing.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-5558968276313974882012-06-26T10:24:06.884-05:002012-06-26T10:24:06.884-05:00Another canard is that allowing new drilling proje...Another canard is that allowing new drilling projects to go ahead would lead to quickly lowered gas prices, and that they can just get off the ground running without years of work beforehand.<br /><br />Then you have rampant speculation, and oil oligarchs doing stuff like mothballing supertankers of oil offshore.

Actually, we have the most expensive fuel prices in America. During the Rio +20 meeting, the best preocupation I saw in the national debate was not how to drop prices, but how to use the profits of said company to fund research and development for clean energy.Paulo Ugolinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288626497894824632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-56486110323566800912012-06-25T11:36:24.602-05:002012-06-25T11:36:24.602-05:00I live in the UK.

Last week I filled up for $4.16/gallon, and yesterday the same gas at the same station was $4.06. If gasoline gets down to $2.50 here, you'll see people filling 55-gallon drums with gas to store in the garage.Jerry Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116540065811848200noreply@blogger.com
