Whoaaa... What? Me? Shamelessly replying to a thread I started in 2005 predicting the price of Gas at 4.00? :) In all seriousness though... I told ya so. A big argument back in 2005 was that it is related to supply and demand. I recently read (citation left out intentionally as I wave my hands in the air) that demand for gasoline has dropped 4% so far this summer. One would think that if demand decreases, so would the cost? But what do I know... I am just a poor redneck in North Carolina. -- grant /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
