Yeah. Funny how thee wholesale goes down a quarter and the pump prices go down about 5%, isn't it?

So now gas is like its cheapest in 6 years. It's about $1.50 in Denver.
It started making me think, how many times has the cost for things increase using the price of gas excuse? For example, I just took a flight and had to pay $15 for my first checked bag. A charge started over the summer with high gas prices. Or how about the price of a stamp?
In other words... you ever think it's likely all the companies that raised prices cause of gas will reduce them?

No. Companies will still try to squeeze every cent out of us they possibly can. Anyway, these prices probably won't last for long. Starting in January, OPEC is reducing it's production by 200,000 barrels per day, and then after 3 months, by 1,000,000 per day, to "drive up prices and demand".

That's because of the asshole countries that depend on oil revenue- and have greatly overextended themselves with military budgets factored on oil exceeding $70 per barrel) may tank now that the figurative well has dried up.
Sure is funny to watch Chavez and Putin have to scramble over the price of oil for a change.
