The lowest prices in gas I've seen since last year are now $2.99! That's awesome! I'm glad the prices have finally let up a bit. People who drive constantly rely on low gas prices. This decrease in prices will maintain itself if the Oil Gods have mercy. But my suspicion, which should be taken with a grain of salt, is that the prices are political schemes. Think back if you can to 2004. The incumbent President Bush faced losing office because of high gas prices and a terrible war. It is my recollection that the price of gasoline became incredibly low during that time. Perhaps as low as $2.00/gallon.
This year we also face an administration hell bent on getting McCain elected. It's no shock that they would do everything in their power to control the prices of oil. After all, George Bush was an oil man. As we all know from The Will Be Blood, Oil men tend to be serious about their business. If I could bet on the prices of gasoline I would say they are low but they will go higher. Only time will tell.
Now is the time to cut oil out of your diet completely, or at least significantly.
