Answer 10

I think gas prices are going down as a result of the oil companies' greed backfiring on them.

Gas prices have gone up so high in such a short amount of time, that Americans are being forced to travel a lot less than they used to. So naturally, this created less of a demand.

It's obvious that the oil companies' numerous excuses for high gas prices were a  bunch of  BS. If the companies were "forced" to increase gas prices, THEN HOW THE F*CK COULD THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DISH OUT RETIREMENT CHECKS IN EXCESS OF $200,000,000 TO THEIR CEO'S?

Answer 11

The value of the dollar is back on the rise because gas prices are falling once again. This is so people can actually aford to buy other thing instead of just gas and hire more people at their businesses. its one large interconnected system. All based on oil.

Answer 12

Gas prices are going down, because of two reasons. The first is the tipping point of 4 dollars did not support wide usage of the product and drove supplies up, while reducing demand.

The second is the increased pressure on politicians by the public to open up drilling for oil. Even Reed agreed that looking into drilling on leased sites by the government should be permitted. When a liberal says something like this, you know its because they are worried about public backlash in an election year.

Drill Hear;

Drill Now;

Pay Less.

Answer 13

cheapest here is 3.89, in avondale arizona so it is going down but not very much!

Answer 14

We're paying about $4.40 per gallon regular here in NYC

Answer 15

the day after george bush removed the ban on oastal drilling in the states opec rediced it's oil prices by somethig like $10 barrel

that combined withthe fact that americansare finaly using less gas , will drive down the cost of oil farther.

it just took a few weeks to see the price at the pumps.

Nationaly the fed is going to increase intrest rates , which will hurt the housing market but help the mortage industry and help the failing mortage companies be stronger. this will also make the dolar stromger overseas. which will drive oil down again.

I heard one predicytion that we will be paying $3 a gal by christmas time. I'll belive it when i see it. If our consumption goes right back up then it won't happen

Answer 16

YES! Petro prices are below 4$!!! WHATTA BARGAIN!! Vote  Bush for third term!!! *rolleyes*

Answer 17

slowly but surely

Answer 18

it's only temporary and oil prices are quite reflective of world issues unfortunately - that being said, there hasn't been any countries test firing missiles or tension in the middle east.

Answer 19

yes, its part of the brainwashing scheme.....they make the dumb people of the US think that $3.80 is a bargain, so they can raise it to $4.30, and we will think that is cheap, then lower it to $4.20 so we think thats cheap, and so on

Answer 20

yeaa where i live it went down from 3.98 to 3.74 which is awesome... but why?? who knows but yey!
