Gas prices becoming almost bearable

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

I was thinking Ale 8-1. I have no clue why the folks of central KY drink that crap.

Rub it in. I am now pushing back my trip home to the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and now have to telecommute from the Compound on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

:twisted:

All this means is that I will be in the tri-state for two weeks at Christmas.

Hold on!!!!!!

I am not too smart on prices, ect...

What I can not quite understand.... Before the whole business world went belly up, I was paying around $4.00 a gal.

I know the price of barrel's of oil have fallen, however if this keeps up, we will be paying the same price for gas, as I was pumping into cars during my first job some 35 + years ago, around .49 cents a gal.

Are we not still using the same amount of Gas.... they have cut back the amount made, but the price still goes down?

Could not big oil, just say keep things at $1.00 a gal. not make quite as much in profit, if gas was supposed to be say, $1.50, but still make a killing if gas was supposed to be say, .49 cents.

The big question is: Is this going to last for a while, or is it, at some point in the near future, going to shoot to $20.00 a gal.
I'm just happy to know the Dougger!

Yep, our local stations are up to $1.99. Please, SOMEONE explain to me how they can justify changing the price of gasoline before getting new deliveries.

Because you have to pay for the higher priced gas when it gets there.

I'm trying to figure how Raleigh when from 6 cents below the national average to 6 cents above, when the average only went up a few pennies.

It's funny how everything takes its sweet old time to come down in price, yet at the first hint at oil prices going up they can't raise them fast enough.

Even food prices never came down from last summer.

Maybe I misread it on the TV at the gym tonight, but I thought I saw that the price of crude oil had dropped today.

Oil jumped as a result of more people driving around the Christmas holiday. Now that it is January, I think I am the only one racking up miles on my car.
