The Blue Hoo (11/22/2008)i had no problem paying $2.50 a gallon, but am not complaining about the $1.80ish prices we have here in auburn. i just wish they would hang around for awhile. my question is this though, is everyone gonna start buying trucks and suv's again since gas is down? wasnt this a big part of the problem to begin with? i have a truck and a car, and have gotten to where i dont drive the truck at ALL now. unless i need to tow the boat or 4wheelers.

The high prices weren't just because of a high American demand. Although demand is continuing to drop in the U.S., it is a world wide drop in demand that has caused theplummeting gas prices.

how has the worldwide demand lowered? hybrid vehicles? wont all these low prices cause people to do a whole bunch of previously deemed "unnecessary" driving again?

World wide demand is decreasing because we are entering a world wide recession. The same reason Solutia just laid off 540 workers, because demand for nylon products is way down in the U.S and other markets. It all relates to a world wide economic down turn.It has nothing to do with hybrid vehicles.

The demand isn't just for gasoline, it is for crude oil. So when the demand for petro chemicals goes down so does crude oil and gasoline.

Telum Piscis (11/22/2008)I filled my cans for my generator/hurricane season at $3.86:banghead:banghead. All 60 gallons of it. Now I don't want to use it, but I need to.

I did the same thing at $3.45 when they were rolling around the Gulf, but, yes do use, it up, as it is money spent.
