SD Jarhead Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Quick, everybody run to your local dealer and buy a Suburban! It'll help the ecomomy and keep GM from going bankrupt. But will people be able to buy gas with their food stamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good idea if the price is right and they offer it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I thought the price of gas was only going down because there was an election coming up and would spike back up right afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Pretty good for home heating oil as well. I'm planning to lock in a 3 year contract in 1st quarter next year. Some people are trying to get out of their contracts they signed this past summer when prices were about double what they are now.... Consumers want out of fuel oil contracts Consumers who locked in high price for home heating fuel stuck, AG says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer860 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 What happened to $200/barrel by the end of 2009? I can see it now. The new administration will say its time to add more tax now that gas prices are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLflutie7 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 What happened to $200/barrel by the end of 2009? Yup! Another Wall Street lie. Goldman Sachs strikes again. Wasn't it those fine people who said that soaring oil prices came from soaring demand for oil in China. I guess the fine people of China decided to go back to riding bikes. Why does the media fall for this sh-- over and over. The average joe in America new it was speculation on Wall Street. Sometime in June, I bet my dad that we'd see gas below $1.00 a gallon again. I just may be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I can see it now. The new administration will say its time to add more tax now that gas prices are down. That would be a good idea to help pay for the auto company loan program or for alternative fuel technology. Set a minimum price like $2.50 a gallon, and if the actual price without tax goes lower, the difference is collected as tax. I'm concerned that people will again get complacent about energy, buy less efficient cars, and not support alternative energy programs. By not letting it get too low, it will remind people not to go back to the old bad habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the right thing to do, but the Republicans would seize upon that and scream like children we should have no taxes ever, the future be damned. And then, as soon as we start climbing out of recession the price will shoot back up stalling economic gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will people be able to buy gas with their food stamps? Too bad GM is gonna tell people to go to hell... They will only offer customers Chevy Aveos and say: "Deal with it." Hey if they would have done this the last time fuel was cheap... They wouldn't be in the mess they are today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Good deal that gas has been going down since I bought my Suburban. :-) Same with my gas hogs I bought in 2006... I had a hunch they would cram everone into shoe-boxes, then the price would come down... It was just a matter of time I rode out the higher prices in my gas guzzlers.

That too! Why do you think McCain was so mad... The banks were supposed to hold out until AFTER THE ELECTION! Get with the program, I have seen better communication with Dick Jauron and his staff.
