Jalopnik reports: I Just Paid Under Two Bucks A Gallon For Gas! Look, we're no old, white business men, so we don't have a valid theory as to why gas prices are dropping (well, none that don't involve Alison Krauss with a cape and stilettos), but it's definitely interesting. What could the real cause be?
The Detroit Free Press reports: Can $2 gas give SUV sales a jump? Oh, right! If everyone starts buying SUVs and trucks again we'll all need to buy fuel more often! Is this true or are we just being paranoid?
The Detroit News reports: Wagoner calls for U.S. to focus on alternative fuel. So the government should pay for the research on a new fuel, rather than the marketplace? How come (GM CEO) Rick Wagoner thinks the government can make a new fuel, but not regulate tailpipe emissions?
gas goes up when there is demand! Period. Why? So they can make more money off us. It goes up all the summer, goes down in the fall, back up for the xmas holidays(although not as much as in the summer) and back down for the winter until spring comes along... I ahve noticed this trend over the last few years. I would bet that if there is a graph that shows the price over the last 3-5 years there woudl be a spike in each summer and in december.
On a somewhat related note, If you have not seen an inconvenient truth you need to!!
