Can You Say ... Price Fixing! (By the way, it would be illegal in the U.S.)

Opec wants American's to pay more for gas. Again. They just bled the cow dry. Our economy collapsed due to sustained high gas prices. People paid for gas on credit cards for over two years and every American that isn't in the top 2% is broke. Unless you are Madonna (and even she is a miser I hear) or Tom Cruise, or someone loaded with money, you are hurting. You may have been fired or live in fear of your job. No one in your family except the children are getting Christmas gifts. Have I nailed this?

Here is the stupid headline of the day...

Iraq says 80 dollars a 'reasonable' price for oil

Price fixing is illegal in the US. Anyone that thinks we can forget about an electric car or any other alternative form of propelling our automobiles simply because gas has come down for a short time is an idiot.

Yes, I said it. Idiot. We Americans on mass need to wake the hell up. Just because a problem doesn't show it self in front of our faces, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Gas is down. Does this mean we should forget the hell we just went through?

Tesla, get us a regular passenger version car done soon please? And our own big three, dumb asses. Figure it out will ya! We need a car that doesn't run on petro gas!

OPEC = Greed.

And hey America... Remember when you pump gas in your car. You are sending your paycheck to an Arab Nation that has no interest in our economy. Are you even aware that over 1.6 Trillion dollars in construction is going on in the Gulf which is more than a 1/3 increase since 2007 alone. Where is the money coming from? YOU and ME. Every drop of gas is money leaving our country and making another one rich. To date, our money has built the Burj Al Arab Hotel, perhaps the most luxurious hotel in the world. Then there is Hydropolis which would NEVER be possible if it were not for a ludicrous amount of disposable income by the OPEC nations. Then there is the Palm Jumeirha which you can see from space! This isn't just a landmark, it's entire body of land built up out of the sea by American's.

But hey we are decadant American's with loads of extra cash that we don't need. $80.00 for a barrel of oil. No problem.

Gas Prices Down

The economy is failing, the DOW is under 10,000, banks are closing, mortgages forclosing, credit is bad... the list continues, but on the bright side gas prices have fallen below $90 a barrel. Our summer qualms over high gas prices seem to be over.

According to Gasbuddy.com regular unleaded gasoline is averaging $3.014 a gallon in Oklahoma, the lowest in the country. But that's not to say you can't get gas for under $3. The website recorded sightings of gas almost as low as $2.75.

I'm gonna end this one with a song - Enjoy!

Shop Smart for Gas

Where ever you are I'm sure that gas is somewhere around $4 a gallon. Prices keep going up, but the daily commute isn't going down. So unless you live in southern California, where Honda is leasing fuel cell power vehicles, or decide to buy a hybrid tomorrow there's not much you can do other then look painfully at the meter hoping it stops pumping for the sake of your wallet every time you fill up. Relax, help is on the way.

The New York Times reported today that gas has gone up $6 per barrel. It's painful every time I fill up, but I make sure I always pay the lowest price for my precious petroleum.

In a world where there is a website for everything, there are sites that compare gas prices like GasBuddy.com. Simply type in your Zip-code and the site lists up to date gas prices in your area. The site has gained such a large following that MapQuest and MSN have added their own variations of the application.

So moral of the story is shop smart, and check gas prices often. It's like eBay, except you're paying too much.
