Why aren't fuel prices dropping like expected? There is a web site that
shows a graph of fuel prices since 1995. I thought after the war we would
see a decrease, but regular gas is up 10 cents a gallon from the same time
last year. See it at www.storydata.com

They did drop.....for awhile....got to $1.49/gal after a high of $2.10. It
has risen back to $1.76/gal now. I had heard the same thing.....to expect
prices to drop as well. Oh well!

Seems to be regional. I paid 1.339/gallon for unleaded regular last
night in ne NJ.

Or everyone could quit buying these big ass vehicles and go easy on the
environment. There isn't unlimited resources on this planet. Crank up the
gas prices. I like to hear these people bitch about spending $40 $50 to fill
there suv's.

I am going to drive what I want, and if it cost $50 to fill it up F*** it.

I don't do alot other than golf a few times a month, and I'll be dammed if I
am going to go to work everyday just to feed the goverment more tax money! I
may even buy H2............yeah 7 mpg.

The goverment got us us into this mess, kissing the enviromentalist's asses.

But the old station wagons are no longer made, so that leaves SUVs for
loading the kids and doing the bulk shopping.

Not as big as the old style Station Wagons. Those things were roomy, like
SUVs.

Oil company execs and their political friends play no part in this
dance, do they?
