Do you think the price of gas will ever go down?

Question

I'm thinking of buy a classic car, maybe a 57 caddy but that has low gas mileage. Is there any way to improve the MPG? Do you think the gas will drop? When?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Gas will not drop!

By the caddy and put a v6 in it for fuel economy or install free flow exhaust with a 2 barell carburator

Answer 4

It will drop if america soldier get out from iraq and do not attack iran...if america soldier attack iran , the gas will be never ever to drop.....

Answer 5

The price of gas will not drop until the stupid tree-hugger liberals get a clue and push for off-shore drilling.  I don't see that happening anytime soon.  If Obama gets into office...God help us all, he wants to increase gas taxes and is not interested in energy independence.

Answer 6

Some experts predict that the prices will level off at 8 to 12 dollars per gallon. Of course, when gas prices go up that high, everything else will be priced higher with it. As for improving the car's actual MPG, I have heard of people modifying their car's motor or something along those lines, but I'm unsure of any specifics.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I have heard that it will drop after hurricane season sometime in November.

Answer 8

Gas prices will fluctuate a little bit, but I don't think it will drop below 3.25.  You will see it drop a little bit for the election like it did in '04 but not much.  Oil production is maxed out and demand is rising, especially from India and China.

Answer 9

Honestly I hope it never goes down. I love that more people are biking, walking, using public transportation....

Answer 10

it'll drop whenever these crazy gas companies want it to drop.

Answer 11

I don't think there's much incentive for gasoline companies or oil-producing nations to decrease the price of gas.  It may go down by a little, but in 1957, gas cost around 25 cents a gallon in the U.S.A.  Those days are gone forever.

By the same token ... if you're buying a classic car, you won't be using it for long-distance trips or daily commuting.  You'll take occasional short rides on a nice Sunday afternoon.  So fuel economy shouldn't be much of a factor.
