Gas Prices at Pump Drop for 1st Time in 4 Months

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Mon Apr 07, 2003 6:29 pm

Gas prices dropped six cents a gallon nationwide over the past two weeks. It's the biggest two-week drop since October 2001, Lundberg said Sunday

It was a matter of time the price of gas would go down because the barrel of oil has dropped in price because no big interruptions in the oil happened in Iraq as only a handfull of oil fields were on fire there but before the war started some were predicting that it was going to be hell there with all the oil burning like in the first gulf war but it didn't happened.

You are in a high tourist town right? It is April and the peak of the season is upon you. May take a while before you see a tremendous reduction in gas prices.

"THIS IS TOTAL BULLCRAP!" Can you say, "BEND OVER, IT'S TIME FOR A LUBE JOB?" We are STILL at a $1.79 gallon, I hope to HADES that the oil suppliers in Az meet their fate and burn in HADES for eternity!

Actually we are in between tourist seasons here. Most of the "snow birds" are on their way back up north and the summer crowd won't be here for another month.
