@thnkwhatyouthnk: Yeah, I'll believe 1.99 in NJ, but not NY. I haven't seen anything less than 2.10.
I think we should price it at $3.50 and hold it there. That way we all get used to where it will be, should be and eventually - won't be anymore.
We'd raise money to fund new energy, incentivize folks to be more economical, if not environmental, in their use of personal transport. Perhaps we'd even help business to pursue the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) option.
I'm not big on taxes, but it just stands to reason we need to make changes, were moving in that direction as a "herd" when prices were higher this past year or so - and have now gone back to complacency.
I think $3.50 is far too high. Especially considering the price of crude is at the point where in the past gas was at the $1.50 mark. There is no way even the current price is justified.
Hell, here in San Luis Obispo, on the California Central Coast, we're paying $2.37 for 87 octane. Why the hell do people in the middle of the US pay more than $.50 less a gallon when the ports where the oil enters are further away from then than anywhere...
@noone1569: Damn,I wish I got the OpenVMS System Administrator job a recruiter had called me for. I think they finally found a local person. I'd be saving $$$ big time.









it's still $1.85 or so in Phoenix....
