I wouldn't say well below $100 when it is only a few bucks.

hey, stop pickin on the poor oil companies! Accord'n to the ads, they provide a bunch of jobs, and are in everyone's retirement portfolio....and well, they can't hep makin all dat money....dah devil made dem do it!
Just for fun, I drove a Nissan Leaf today....my sort of own protest of the juicing we have been taking all spring and for the last 4 years or so. Nice little car, certainly drove well, a bit wierd to not have a motor running but I got used to it, and it didn't burn a drop of oil. Gage says 5 hrs to charge it back up to full.... using 110....
Now if I could only get one in a snowmobile....I already own a very long heavy extension cord. I can see it now....."park here if you want to charge your sled....go way over there if you have a two smoker! down wind please :0

I'll be parking over there then, breathing in that beautiful 2 stroke smell lol
Because for gas to be at $2.50 a gallon, crude would have to be in the $50-$60 a barrel price. Plus, crude inventory is growing and is currently at it's highest level in nearly 20 years. Gas inventory is seeing it's seasonal draw down and is below 5 year AVERAGES.
The formula for cheap gas is not as simple as lower crude prices. Especially in the big usage (big driving) season.

Oh c'mon ezra! Everyone knows electricity doesn't come from coal, it comes from the wall outlet!
If I am a producer why do I want to drive my retail price down to $2.50 when you are already desensitized to $3.85?
Margin, baby, margin!
lol!
Exactly!
Pretty comical, all the Lemmings that choose to believe electricity is any kind of answer to our "carbon footprint".
Run some two stroke in that baby. You'll pick up another mile or two per gallon and your injectors will last longer and run quiet!
Now, just imagine the mileage you could have if the oil companies weren't stripping energy out of the fuel, and replacing it with bio-mass fillers that don't burn worth a crap!
Because if every car in America had to plug in to operate, how much extra electricity do you suppose we would have to produce? Electricity is as far away from "clean" as you can get!! This not to mention the up front extra cost and the added toxic waste that would be produced by millions of batteries!
But that doesn't negate hybrids...
No it doesn't. They just make slightly more sense because they can also charge their own batteries to a point.
Well me and the boys from work, there are a total of 5 of us from the old shop, now working at the new shop, just went out and bought ourselves a used minivan for our commute to work. $20 bucks each, per week, gets us to work now. 500 miles a week. So now the high gas prices don't bother me AS MUCH. LOL.
