$1.63 today! Started to hear people on the radio referencing gas at below $1.00 a gallon. Who know. Also saw that the saudies have discovered new reserves and are adding capacity to ship 20% more fuel.

now that all the speculators have been bankrupted (hopefully) maybe the prices will be less volatile.

The IRVING station on Rt 1 in Norwood had it at $1.59 an $2.50 for diesel. As long as the home heating oil comes down similarly, I'll be happy.

There has never been a better time in my life to buy a BIG american SUV than right now. Industry needs to move them, fuel dirt cheap and looking to go even lower, and interest rates are lowest in years.

This past summer Obama that said we would never see $2.00 gas again...ever, and he was happy that fuel prices were up just thought the rate they went up was too fast. ...I wish that replay that over and over again.

Another thing, now that fuel prices are cheap and oil compaines are hurting...are we going to bail them out?

Home heating oil is down as low as $1.89/gallon this morning. Most places are in the mid $1.90's to $2.00 in my area.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Home heating oil will probably stay right around 2 bucks a gallon for the winter, may even go up if the winter is as cold as today.
