Haha, i was wondering that. There is a thread in the "truck stop" to explain how you got your screen name if you wanna spill the beans...

Okay.. with that said than Linda, why does the price at the pump EVER drop than? When the crude oil goes on a steady decline? That still doesnt make sense.. its still gotta go up.

But, if you notice its all games and none of this is legitimate. When summer rolls around prices are outragous... right before spring break in my town prices we're steadily decling. The week of Spring Break, the prices jumped 15 and 25 cents on the gallon. Now that's complete bull. I beleive in the next few months we'll see it declining slowly but once the summer months hit, it'll be higher than it is now.

LMAO, that was an attemp at humor on my part SSLOW. Sometimes its tough to articulate things like that in a "forum" enviornment. The point i was trying to make was it always goes up! When it comes down at the pump, it is usually followed by an increase larger than it was before it fell. Its safe to say that we will never see a $1.xx at the pump again as long as we live. 93 was $2.79 at the Citgo on the way to work this morning. Anyone wanna help me build and H2O splitter? Suck the moisture in through the intake, split the H2O molecule, burn the Hydrogen, exhaust the oxygen....now thats an enviornmentally friendly car. We get 1,000,000 cars exhausting O2, and we can cut down all the tree's!!

word, definetly bullshit. I love how gas goes up like 20 cents in 12 hours. Something needs to be done, sadly I dont think the current administration gives 2 *****... what I expect them to do, I dont know, the least I want to hear is some concern from them.

As far as the gas going up so fast, I dunno

But I always figured the reason why it stays up a wheel after the price of crude goes down was because the gas station bought that gas when it was high so it'll probably sell off that gas in a manner that will enable it to still make profit.

I have given up worrying about the cost of gas. If it's $5 or even $10/gal I'll pay it because I have to have it. (As a teenager I pumped gas for 23 cents a gallon but a new Mustang was $2500.) I pay $4/lb for n2o, at that rate a gallon of gas would cost ($4 x 6.8lbs) $27.20/gal. It's all relative.
