Gas went DOWN 2 cents today, to $3.93 for 87. Woohoo!
The price of a barrel of oil has dropped $16 in the last 3 days. 3 days ago, Bush got rid of the Executive ban on offshore drilling. We're still a long way from actually being allowed to drill out there, because the House and the Senate need to lift their ban also, which isn't likely to happen as of right now because they both have Democrat majorities, and Environmentalist special interest groups have the Democrats by the proverbial balls (I say proverbial because Democrats don't have any actual balls).
But there goes the Democrats argument that even if the U.S. decided to start drilling it's own oil today, it won't lower prices - right out the fucking window! Just making the decision of letting the world know the supply of crude will be greatly increased in the coming years by our country drilling for oil on it's own will affect prices, we have the last 3 days as proof of that.
