I heard it's goin' cheaper...
You must be watchin' the wrong TV show...

I think they should go ahead and raise the price of gas to $5.00 pg,.. and put that money to fixin' roads and infrastructure... then, we can put the correct psi in our tires and save our suspension parts...
Estimates here in Tuscon are, bad roads are costing up to $750 a year in repairs...
My car sounds a coffee can full of marbles rollin' down a giant cheese grater...
I don't choose my route for speed or shortest distance anymore... I choose the route that won't loosen another filling... (I even pick lanes that way)...

We don't need cheaper gas... we need better roads, so we don't need 4x4's on the pavement...

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgghh!.... Grin

That was a significant factor in my decision making process when I bought my KLR last year. People ask me do you go off roading a lot, and I say something like it is not a lot of fun going for a long ride on these roads. The riding position is a lot easier on the back as well.

To the gents over seas; apologies, I do not envy you when you pull up to the pump.

On the other side of the coin, the roads in Australia are in pretty good shape overall, and when I visit NZ I am in awe of the road condition. Those guys really seem to know how to make a road.

The futures market sets the pump price. There are more "paper" barrels of oil traded daily than real ones.,.The investors who look at the troubles the Dollar has ( note the DOW drop & the production numbers the big corps are putting out, FAR below projections) & our debts & the foreign policies, etc & BET that oil will cost More Dollars "tomorrow" than "Yesterday" creates upward pressures on the oil price.
