    Oil price dives to $77

    I just read that oil prices have gone to under $80 a barrel and now OPEC is calling a meeting to cut output so the price goes back up. I am a bit confused because from everything I read when oil prices were going up so was gas because they are tied together or so they say. Now my question is this. If oil came down this much why is gas still above $3? Shouldnt it come down? I would think that gas cost would come down causing more people to be able to use it and this would cause more oil to be used to offset the cheaper price.

    Or did I miss something? I still think they are blowing smoke up our butts!

    I dont even pay attention to the prices anymore, it just makes your blood pressure skyrocket knowing how hard their pounding us in the arse. This shits been out of control for how long now, there is no going back. I actually think fuel and all ties with it run the county rather than our government.

    dude, here is the main deal!!! we are like little worker ants, we go to work and go home and spend our checks and go and make more money and spend it and live our lives, those dudes keep us on a tight leash and when they feel they wanna make 11billion dollars in one day all they have to do is raise the price of something that we cant live without, look we all just kept buying gas at 4.10 a gallon now we are kinda out of cash for a minute do they lower it to give us a littel hope, so we can see a littel light at the end of the tunnel, but not for to long, the leash is coming back out fo the closet...

    I read about two weeks ago that OPEC was going to limit output to keep oil at $100 a barrel no matter what it was dropping to. Bunch of pricks.

    You would think world govts would step in and say. WTF!! You guys are sucking every penny out of the worlds economy as a whole. Then they could start to regulate this stuff. I wouldnt mind paying $3.50 to know that 3 years from now the price would be the same. The 10 cent jump a day is whats killing us. How the hell can you pay all your bills and put food on the table when you have no idea what your monthly cash output is going to be. When this happens the first thing that goes is toys, going out, bla bla bla. Then older people on meds start cutting pills in half so they last longer. Then we cut the cable TV bla bla bla. Its a downward spiral that is gaining speed then i read about our government putting more money out. Isnt this like trying to fill a swimming pool with a hole in it. Why dont they fix some of the problems?

    we are like little worker ants
    And the oil companies are burning us with a magnifying glass. Oh no my antennas are on fire!!


    How long before we are living like MadMax and draining every parked/wrecked car we can find. 2 months? lol

    Exactly! The reason the govt.'s dont step in is they are getting a piece of the pie in the way of tax. I feel sorry for the older people on fixed incomes who busted their asses getting to a point where they should be comfy and cant even afford healthcare, gas, food, ect. This worlds goin to sh!t quickly!

    I gave up trying to understand why gas prices are ever what they are a long time ago... I just bring a jar of vaseline with me to the pump and go on my way.

    They been doing this in Fayette County all year. It's in the newspaper every other day. Most newer tanks are plastic, so you just get yourself a 2" holesaw and go to work with a few drain pans and buddies to help.

    When you come out of the mall or restaurant, it's a good idea to look for a small spilled puddle under the rear of your car. Especially, if it's a pick-up or something with a little more room to work.
