I guess all those "free marketers" were right! Gas prices did go down on their own!

I guess all those "free marketers" were right! Gas prices did go down on their own!
And all it took was the collapse of the world economy to make it happen!

Yay free market!

:sarcasm:

1. The economy is not as much responsible
as the specter of mandating efficient/hybrid/electric cars out of Detroit.

Big Oil has far more to lose, in the long run.

2. drill here drill now
:eyes: :puke:

They need a floor on gas prices...we are back to suburbans, tahoes, and hummers with just one mother fucker in them clogging up the highways here in socal again.

One upside to the high gas prices a few months ago, was people were driving slower, and there were fewer people on the freeways. I take the train to work every day, and when it passes over the freeways, I have noticed that they are back to snarled, nasty, polluted cluster-fucks.
