when bush was president oil was 190 a barrel and gas was 1.90 a gallon.

during obummer oil was as low as 40 dollars a barrel and gas was 3something a gallon

in my view since obummer it averaged around 5 so is the buck worth 5 times less or is taxed 5 x more to make up for less sales

today oil went up to 46 a barrel. sooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe for you if your economy is basin off oil. Look around the country, it's doing a lot better with low oil prices. I see a lot better economy here in Michigan with these low prices. People are speeding money on other things than gas to get back and forth to work and fuel to heat there homes. There spending more money because of false scene of stability in the fuel cost. What ever buddy???? Every freeking time I have seen high fuel cost, economy takes a crap.

Michigan, Really about anything sane about your depleted economy??? Try natural gas as a heating fuel, not fuel oil. We ( US ) has more N.G. than Jimmy Carter could even imagine... If you are too young or have had your head in the sand ( Mid East sand, maybe) you will get it!! Just and Okie boy say'in!
