It's kinda scary how it's fell so fast. We gradually build up to almost $4.00 a gallon (correct me if we DID actually make it there, as I can't remember) over 8 years, and now we're approaching $2.00 in less than a year's time. Pretty fucking dandy.

They won't stay like this very long. OPEC is having a fit that the American public stopped consuming as much gas after it hit $4 a gallon. I need to pull up my old post about gas prices and how they rise and fall in sequence. It falls into the same category as what's happening now.

Sure thing. I know I posted it in the Strange forum, so I should find it in no time.

EDIT:

The prices go up (new record) in the Spring.
Mid-Summer the prices go down and all looks like it's changing.
In the Fall the prices go up, but not higher than in the previous Spring.
They stay consistent through Winter and when Spring comes the prices are raised again a few cents higher than the previous spring.

Look back at the last time we saw $2 gas. Has it not gone back down toward $2, but never reaches an equivalent point? It's always slightly higher than previous, but cheaper than it "could be".
I think they're starting over. $4 a gallon stopped paying off, so they drop it down to a reasonable rate and will increase it slowly in the same pattern as above.

GAS prices correlate almost perfectly with OIL prices. Oil speculators drove the price of a barrel of crude oil up to never before seen levels. People realized that oil was NOT worth that much and the prices fell. The other influence on gas prices is the refining process. Hurricanes reduce refining capacity which means higher gas prices. That's why we saw the recent spike in gasoline.....high oil prices + reduced refining capacity = paying out the ass.

P.S. nice

I was reading somewhere that they were just going to produce less till the demand goes back up.
