An SUV getting 20 mpg at 60 mph would use 3 gallon/hr, and if the AC was using an additional 0.2 gph the mileage would drop to about 19 mpg - which would be difficult to measure without some added instrumentation. Unfortunately, they stopped making the Insight a few months ago (that wasn't very good timing, was it?). I could probably sell mine for what I paid for it in 2003. |

$2.98 today. Things are looking up. But I doubt it will last.

Maybe all the fires have slowed the tourist trade.

$3.229 in SoCal. Slowly drifting down. The price curve on gasoline reminds me of the light curve of a Cepheid -- steep rise, slow drop.
We know what the refiners are doing. They are making a mint under that slow-descent curve.

I have never seen gas at 4.00 a gallon. Crazy.

Oh sure, pick the fattest, bowlegged, knuckle-dragging, glassy-eyed, sports-car-driving frat boy as a representative of an American at the gas pump. Thanks, BBC.

You know this is another example of TheMercenary's political agenda. The title is "Real Clear Politics". Then it talks about liberals. Extremists need extremists. If necessary, extremist will invent their enemies.
Extremists will even let bin Laden run free only because it serves their political agenda - reality be damned. The only thing predictable is that TheMercenary has no interest in reality - such as why gas prices are higher. Reality would not promote a poltical agenda. |
