Gas Prices

[klemmer]

$2.99 here. but it's on the MO side.

This weekend I found one place where the gas was $3.75. So, yeah, it dropped aboot a quarter...not that it would change my perception and make me *want* to vote for rither Romney or Obama.

 

[BlackHawkPaul]

Filled up in Naperville over the weekend @ $3.22/gallon.

THE BPs downtown are my gold standard for overpriced gas and they have dropped below $4 for the first time in as long as I can remember.

 

[Pez68]

The release of oil from the SPR sure did bring those gas prices down. Oh....wait.

 

[MassHavoc]

Prices are back down now to what they were in june.

Will Obama Pull The Trigger On The Strategic Petroleum Reserve?

Look I know Pez was just trolling, but now are you trying to say that even the mere rumor that he might release SPR are enough to push gas prices down? The prices have been steadily falling since mid september, and I haven't seen him release any reserves? I'm honestly just not sure of what the point of the link is, I mean do you hate Obama so much that now you are anti-low gas prices?

Of course Pez was trolling.......... his opinion of course. I was just sharing a recent read of mine that was from an outside source (Forbes) that brought up the discussion as well. If I really need to spell it out (after reading the article and under the rights the POTUS can release) you may think like myself the the election AND Hurrican Sandy may set the stage for such an opportunity.



Of course I want lower gas prices.... so does everyone else. I would never put it past Obama doing the SPR to garner last minute votes. I have stated this for months. Pez is okay with higher gas prices and protecting Obama since he makes great sums of money (his own admission).

 

[MassHavoc]

Yes, but the article was almost a month old now... and it was clearly speculative and wrong because it was basically just reporting a rumor that never happen, unless I missed it and he did release them?

HAHAHAAH, wow, great stuff. Where have I EVER said I am OK with higher gas prices? I've said the opposite several times in this very thread. Stating my opinion that I do not think the president has any control whatsoever when it comes to gas prices is now protecting Obama? You are insane. Seriously.... I never once blamed the presidents of past for the high gas prices. Ever.



It's also comical that you keep bringing up Obama possibly releasing oil from the SPR, but CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT DID THIS.... Where was your outrage for Bush releasing oil from the SPR?

“I don’t think that now is the time, and I’m not sure there will be the right time, for us to encourage the use of more gasoline,” Romney said, according to the Quincy Patriot Ledger’s report at the time. “I’m very much in favor of people recognizing that these high gasoline prices are probably here to stay.”

So I take it you don't agree with your candidate's opinion on gas prices, IHF?

Gas prices are/were going down due to the switch from Summer Blend to Winter Blend. Stop fucking justifying OBAMA is evil on every little aspect of our economy. Especially when this wasn't done in previous terms for Presidents just as bad if not worse.



Holy fucking shit.



Now gas prices may rise here in the next week or two due to the fact all the Eastern Refineries are shut down due to the Hurricane. I suppose Obama willed the fucking hurricane to happen as well.



Consistency is a wonderful thing. One guy, I voted for so nothing he did wrong is bad. The other guy I hate, so even if it's not his fault I'm going to try and justify my Political Agenda.

There was none, so the fact that "IF" Romney is elected and things don't instantly change in a year or two, guess what, you won't hear a damn thing. I'd bet money on it.



And that's knowing the Office and Climate is NOTHING like it was when Obama got there. Zero argument on that one and if there is, it's 100% ignorant.

Yeah no shit. It's fucking amazing.

You guys are are so easily amused, at least to me.



Your whole rants are predicated upon a belief that does not exist. I never said the POTUS has direct cost control. You are welcome to believe what you want to believe. If you want me to respond in kind you will need to research what I did say. Heck, please quote it for all to see.



It really is becoming irrelevant since in another week we will vote Obama out of office....

Honetly, IHF i think no matter who wins we will be in contiuned political mediocrity, but I have to say if Obama does manage to win, please videotape your reaction and share it with the board. I'm not trying to be too much of a dickweed, but given your support for Romney and your belief that he cannot in any way, shape, or form lose; if he does lose your reaction should be so comedically classic; much like Fabio's reaction after the goose hit his face on the roller coaster.



And just to show my bastardry swings both ways--if there's anyone here who is a staunch supporter for Obama and thinks there's no way Obama can lose, please do the same if Romney wins.



If you don't, the terrorists win.

Might I be able to make the request of the same from those who want to see Obama win?

I'm just here to amuse you. It's a shame they can't both lose and EVEN still I seriously doubt anything will change much either way.



And I explained to you the majority in gas price fluctuation right now, three different times. They are switching from Summer Blend to Winter Blend. Winter Blend is less expensive to refine/produce.



As for the calling out bush like you do Obama, come on. You really don't want to go there, because during the time, you didn't and He/Bush was in no question one of the worst Presidents this country has EVER lived through.



Lord... LOL!

I won't be happy either way but we are doing dinner on the 10th!!!
