I posted a few weeks ago that gas could hit $1.50 a gallon in a few months. That was when it was still over $2 but had come down. I can not believe the decline. Today in Gwinnett county north of Atlanta I filled up at a QT for $1.59 a gallon. With oil now forecast to hit $30 a barrel, gas could actually go as low as $1.10 a gallon.

Now would be the time to increase drilling and bringing new capacity on line so as the economy turns around and demand increases .... oil will rise as fast as it has fallen. Obama does not want more drilling. In fact when he was asked about gas when it was $4 a gallon he said he wished the increase was more gradual .... not that he wanted it lower. He forgets when energy prices rise it is just like a tax and hurts lower and middle class the most ... the people he claims to care about.

Well Bush will leave office with gas lower than when he took office .... so now the increases are woned by Obama. Lets see if everyone says he has the oil companies in his pocket and that is why prices rise.
