That and obeying a court decision to allow drilling in the Gulf surely would have a physiological effect and prices would go down. 

Bbbbut so would his stock with his base on the oh so green left wing.   :mental:

The difference between Maine and New Hampshire?  Maine has suffed under a liberal democrat form of government for the last twenty years with the following result:  Cost of a half gallon of milk in Maine $2.33 price at same store chain in New Hampshire $1.78.  NH, no sales or income tax. Maine has both.

We have no choice--it's always got ethanol in it here.

Average price fairly steady, but still creeping up slowly at around $3.75/gal.  I'm expecting a jump this week, next week at the latest.

We have the 10% ethanol blend, which had been 15 cents cheaper than the non-ethanol, but this morning the blended was 20 cents cheaper.   $4.19 versus $3.99.

I thought the subsidies for ethanol didn't get renewed?

$3.51/9 here this morning.

I'll gladly pay $5 a gallon for a short time if it meant Obama being defeated.

Ethanol has been a massive disaster, just like every time the libs try to artificially affect green industries.

True. With the increased production of corn to make that crap, farmers have switched from other grain crops to the more profitability of growing more corn. This has led to the reduction and supply causing prices to increase leading to disastrous consequences. Those that live in 3rd world countries spend 50 per cent or more on food to exist and widespread starvation exist because of this stupidity. We can thank Democrats and Republicans for one of the dumbest things that this government has ever done. Even Al Gore says ethanol was a terrible idea.

I did not even mention that corn requires more fertilizer and water than other grain crops. Fertilizer prices have shot up thru the roof. Another concern is that the growing of corn year after year without cross rotating/planting will ruin the soil and eventually nothing will grown there because of high PH levels of certain elements.

Illuminating, but again, I chalk it up to the libs and them never considering the law of unintended consequences.

Gas dropped from $3.71 to $3.52 in the last two weeks.

It was $3.94 and up in Raleigh last week.  It probably still is.

Got gas at Kroger's on Sunday for $3.63 because I had Kroger points and got .03 off each gallon.

Went to Exxon this morning, and it was $3.79!!! I paid cash, so none of that was even credit/debit card fee.  :(
