That war in Iraq is really starting to pay off.
 

All those people that said we were there for the oil had me concerned as I had only seen fuel prices rise. Just got gas and saw it wasdown to $2.23/gal for regular.

It has been a very long time since it was that cheap around here.

Thank you Mr. President.

and funny the prices came down and so close to a election hmmmmmmm

exactly. expect them to return to $3+ in the next few months.

ouch where do you live?
I filled up today and it was $1.92 a gallon


not really, summer driving season is over so demand is lower, refineries switch to the less expensive winter blends and a very unactive hurricaine season.
Go pull up any graphs charting gas prices in the US, it always starts to drop in October. But I'm sure you brush this off as it doesnt fall inline with the Bush is evil mantra.

It has nothing to do with Iraq. It has to do with the fact that countries bought up a huge surplus of oil during all the crisis we had over the summer and beforehand and now there is a large surplus driving down the price per barrel. OPEC has responded by cutting down production, prices will either stabilize or go up again eventually.

I am glad my sarcasm isn't wasted on you guys.

We're still in the mid 2.50ish range up here. :(

heh, and I was going to ask if you are serious? :1orglaugh

$1.91 here.....but its a really tight senate race, after thats over, i expect it back at $2.25+

Diesel used to be here 93 euro cents a litre.
Then the war etc began and was something like 1.25 a litre
Now it's about 1.05 a litre

There's 3 1/2 litres to the gallon.

Petrol is about 1.40 a litre so a gallon would be 4.90 euro's that's about $5.50 - $ 6.00 a gallon.
American's should stop bitchin about fuel prices. Us dutchies pay for your discounts :D

"Summer driving season"

It makes me cringe every time I hear it.

Almost as bad as "Homicide Bomber"

It was at 97 cents a gallon over here before the war.

Don't the irakeez get their gasoline for around five cents per gallon?

Don't forget the opening of non-OPEC oil fields all over the world. Not to mention the fact that even though OPEC is dropping production, it shouldn't matter all too much considering they don't have the cartel they once had. Oil rates would drop even more if half a dozen conflicts would dissolve.

Yeah, the war has been awesome! Just look at the graph...

And since oil is so cheap, the cartel is cutting their supply to make sure demand stays strong..

We're in good hands.

over where?

you suck at the interweb

the control of iraqi oil is more of a long term strategic thing, not something they thought would pay off in 3 years...

they ( the Hawks in the White House ) thought it would pay even faster ... get informed.

:thumbsup for Baddog sarcasm...

Didn't mobil just anounce a 10billion dollar profit last quarter too? or was it exxon

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

So gas prices are a reason to attack a country and create more hate against America?

Yeah and only 4000 GIs had to be killed to accomplish this not bad way to save a few bucks huh.

its because of election!!! in december its gonna be 3 50

Can I get a big "fuck yeah."

You would not understand since you come from a country that is used to being attacked.

If you were from Germany you could probably relate.

Both, It's actually Exxon/Mobil Corp.

haha.. the common pattern of message board replies...

1) skim
2) assume
3) react

Prices rise and fall based on deals no one knows about...sad really how small the community is when it effects the world as a whole

Do they have a private group on myspace or something?

"I use the google"

damn i am glad when Bush is kicked off the spot. i freaking hate this guy. Nothing good comes from him running the country

I think you've just confused the entire liberal porn addicted board.

Ill vote to invade Iran if it brings gas prices back down to $1.09 per gallon.

I'd vote to invade Canada if it had those kind of results. :1orglaugh
