Under $3 is nice...but expect the unexpected. I'm sure our government will find some way to screw us out of anything we try to save.

My 401k is expected to stay down for the rest of the year too. More if the elections go south.

"These reductions are great - just what the government wants us to think. These prices are outlandish still. We need to keep fighting back or we will lose this battle altogether."
We lost the battle over 100 years ago. The Feds should have nationalized the oil Standard Oil instead of splitting it up.

Hey people ... even though gas prices are falling, if you already were doing something to save gas$$, DON’T RETURN TO YOUR OLD HABITS! Use your brain and save some money ... while you can.

I have seen 3.09 around here and that was in Smyrna TN.. This is still way to high for fuel. I say do all you can to keep conserving and maybe it will drop even futher!

They only way we can insure that this will happen is to make sure that the Drill Now, Drill often, will happen in the next congress.
We should only elect Senators and House members that promise to vote for Drilling.
Serious rumors are that Pelosi and Reed will re-invoke the drilling band right after the elections.
This will happen wether Obama is elected or not. Need to keep the pressure on congress.
If you want lower energy prices, we have to have use all sources of energy, especially the kinds that
Democrats do want us to use, like nuclear power.
Remember, Nancy Pelosi, thinks she is in office to 'save the planet,'

I noted, with some interest as I drove by with a full tank, that although the price of oil went down a good deal yesterday, the price of gas in my area went up about 3 cents/litre. Would you think that there is something just a little wrong with this picture???

90.00 per barrel oil can easily be translated to 4.50 gas. Don't be lulled to sleep. We need to eliminate our oil dependency.

Gas and oil prices will never come into line unless you compare them to the price of oil last month.
When the price of oil comes out it is a future price. The price today is for the month of November.
Also, OPEC and Canada sell oil, they are not in the business of selling gas. Take a look at the refineries in the US and Canada as to why the price of gas is what it is today.

We are still well above $3.00/gallon west of Los Angeles in the mid-desert... does seem to bother the commuters in 4x4 crew cab pickups with one driver, no passengers, and his foot to the floor... guess filling up more often doesn't enter the small brains of folks like that, which keeps them on the financial edge... 15% waste equates to about 60 cents/gallon higher cost over a month, but it is the dollars per fillup that have them acting foolish... very same mentality that fueled the sub-prime mortgage and its collapse... very sad, and rather dangerous

The trend of reducing the United States of American to 3rd world status by many in our own government and, seemingly, a few of its citizens, continues unabated. There’s a more ‘descriptive’ way of phrasing the last sentence but it would probably not be acceptable on this forum. Please contact your representatives and senators and hold them accountable to their sworn oath to "protect, preserve, and defend” our constitution! That is not only our right but, our responsibility. If you’re unsure of who’s yours are you can find out quickly, as well as how to contact them, by going to the following web sites:

Let them keep falling!!! More money saved on gas, the more money we can save or put back into our own economy.
