After 4-Month Surge, Gas Prices Start Falling.

[elleng]

After a four-month surge pushed gasoline to nearly $4 per gallon in early April, drivers, politicians and economists worried that gasoline prices might soar past all-time highs, denting wallets, angering voters and dragging down an economy that is struggling to grow.

Instead, pump prices have dropped 6 cents over two weeks to a national average on Friday of $3.88. Experts say gasoline could fall another nickel or more next week, saving drivers about $2 per fill-up.

2. I wish they would start falling here

Paid $4.06/gal the other day and saw another place raise it up to $4.11. I guess they didn't get the memo.

5. I'm sure they will soon be heaping praises on Obama

for bringing the prices down. I mean, if you can blame him if they are high, you can blame him if they are low. Right?

(And, yes, I know he has little to do with it.)

11. Sounded logical,

but as they'll NEVER praise President Obama for ANYTHING, I thought it could us a

8. Speculators have figured out they can't sustain the charade through to November

I expect we'll start seeing the high prices come back in late September, so our brainless media can pound that drum for a month and a half before the election.

9. The price of whisky will go up due to Boehner's increase in consumption.

And then on Meet the Press, Boehner will blame Obama for the increase.

Duh.
