Wednesday, August 30, 2006 Gasoline prices could keep falling Good news from the USA Today: "The only place they have to go is down," says Fred Rozell, gasoline analyst at the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS). "We'll be closer to $2 than $3 come Thanksgiving." $2/gal isn't bad at all, though "closer to $2" could mean $2.49/gal as opposed to $2.51/gal... ah, semantics. That should mean better news for the economy too. It just goes to show how smarter technological innovation and the pressures of the free market make a better impact than government interference (or Democratic rhetoric). posted by Shaun Kenney \| 8/30/2006 04:16:00 PM \| 5 comments 5 Comments: At 4:23 PM, Mark Gardner said... Demand is going down, prices will follow. Plus the summer fuel regalation will be ending soon, making the refining process cheaper. It happens almost every year, why are people surprised? At 4:33 PM, Shaun Kenney said... Some folks argue that it's part of an election year conspiracy. Nevermind that people travel less during the fall, energy costs go down because of better weather, supply increases, demand decreases... I for one am shocked. Shocked, I tell you! At 4:47 PM, Mark Gardner said... If they want to have gas prices go down sooner, start the NFL season in August and make it a 20 game season. At 3:36 PM, Mike said... Mark, you are a genius, sir! A GENIUS!!! At 10:30 PM, Charles said... Gas prices are below where they were one year ago today. Not getting a lot of press though. I just filled up at $2.55 a gallon. Post a Comment Home
