Naw, they're just giving us a break before the 4th of July travel season. Then then will jack it through the roof again for Labor Day. I smell another round of bonuses for some oil CEOs.

I believe there is a bubble, that is about to pop,&nbsp\\;in the commodities market.&nbsp\\; Oil will not be immune to this.

When it gets to the equivalent of $12. do they give ya a dab of Vaseline too?
Not Vaseline, as it is a petroleum based product and it's price is surely to escalate as well.

It will be a water-based lubricant such as AstroLube... Or whatever the water-base lubes are called!
&nbsp\\;
Lanolin. It's made from sheep.&nbsp\\;

Default RE: gas prices

I will offer some of you a little relief, at least psychological relief. Some of us remember when gas prices were in the teens, as in 18.9 cents per gallon. Even when it was in the twenty cents range we could fill up for less then a buck.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Of course I was only&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;making $1.60 per hour then. That probably seems strange and unbelievable to some of you. Before any&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;of you fire of some smarta$$ remark, realize that someday&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;you will look back&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;and tell future generations about the good old days of $4.00 a gallon gasoline.
