If gas is back under $2.00 it's hard to push that whole agenda along. Considering part of the reason the big three are tanking is because of fuel prices, I'd guess that might have something to do with it as well. They won't be selling much oil if people aren't buying gas.
The simple fact that gas is back down under $2 again, just proves the rapid price increase had no real basis on supply and demand but rather manipulation of the market. What has changed to cause the price to drop.. notta damn thing.
