hehe.. the price of gas drops just in time to allow people to buy SUVs again when no one can afford to buy one in the first place... Maybe we should invest in lubricant stocks because there seems to be a lot of being screwed in the *** going on.....

Re: Oil, Gas Prices in Retreat; Return of $3/Gallon Gasoline?
Hopefully we learned a lesson at $147 a barrel. I don't see SUV sales climbing too much again. Most people now know better, and those that can afford it are often avoiding them just because of the image. Awful vehicles that never served a purpose in the first place. At Least most modern sports cars are efficient in their uselessness. Personally the only time the Silverado is used is to tow the race trailer and motorcycles. THe rest of the time its the Impala.
Gas here in Nova Scotia is still $1.199/L which is $5.03 in US dollars and gallons, which is fkin nuts. While much of it is tax, it still hasn't dropped nearly as much as it should, and is for some unknown reason still 25% more expensive than it was when oil was rising up and hit $90/bbl. Haven't figured that one out at all. |

Re: Oil, Gas Prices in Retreat; Return of $3/Gallon Gasoline?
Here in Rockport Tx the cost of fuel is just above $3.00 @ $3.03 to $3.09 per gallon
word is to look for $2.50 ( I have friendsin the fuel biz) due to the sell off that is the reaction to the wall street debacle. |

Re: Oil, Gas Prices in Retreat; Return of $3/Gallon Gasoline?
Even if gas dropped to $1.00 per gallon I bet many of the previous BOF SUV/Truck buyers wouldn't go back due to fears that gas will go back up again, because it will. I'm sure it would cause BOF SUV/Truck sales to stabalize or go up slightly but they will never go back up to where they were. The market for more fuel efficient vehicles will probably remain fairly strong as well although it might taper off slightly until gas prices start back up. You can always stick with your gas guzzler for now and wait for prices to jump back up before you downsize later.

Re: Oil, Gas Prices in Retreat; Return of $3/Gallon Gasoline?
With oil trading at its current price, gas should be a lot less. It's the typical scam, someone whispers the words hurricane, heavy winter or mild winter and gas prices skyrocket, but when oil drops faster than it went up the price at the pumps take 7x the rate of speed of decline.
I filled up my Jeep Grand Cherokee on Saturday utilizing our local grocery store's gas price savings deal and paid $1.95/gallon, totaling $35. It felt soooooooooo good to not have to put $75+ in that tank that day. However it is a double edged blade: -If gas prices went down that low on an average again, would the economy strengthen with people buying things again and traveling? or -Would people star buying the big honking SUVs again so that along with more usage comes higher oil prices in turn higher prices at the pump. or -Would development on Electric/Hydrogen vehicles cease due to the "good old" days being back and we have a repeat of the EV1 situation where they disappeared?
