Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

In the west we typically use natural gas or propane for winter heat. The
propane usually is cheaper than gasoline, but as many have pointed out it
all comes from the same well. In San Diego however, they usually turn on
the heat when it gets down to 65º. ;^)

The part that applies to the current dip in fuel prices:

"It's the flight of the speculators from the current market that has
produced the huge price drop, just as it was a flood of cash from
speculators that drove oil prices higher than the fundamentals justified
to begin with."

Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

Sure, worldwide oil prices dropped just because the US is having an
election... GWB pulled that lever in the Oval Office and at his command
all the oil suppling countries... OPEC, Iran, Venezuela, Mexico, Russia,
ect, all dropped their oil prices to help the Republican Party in the
fall election.

Sorry, but I find that more than just a bit difficult to believe.
