That Dodge was doing? What do you do when gas is 1.77 now? LOL should have gotten the cash back or another option. I doubt they just give you the difference.

Anybody have a Dodge? It applies to diesel which is still a little higher than 3 bucks in some places but in general that deal just failed.

nah, its not total fail, just mostly fail. Only reason gas is so cheap is because right now we are paying Recession set prices per barrel of oil, and tapping into some external reserves. So while we may be getting oil for $60 a barrel right now, come mid next year I predict its going to jump up to $150 a barrel, and that just means $5.00 bucks a gallon for regular easy.

Well I know gas is going to go back up but if they had just gotten cash back or another option, they would be better off I would think.

Great point to bring up. One should never put faith in such an unpredictable item.

I, too, wish the prices would stay this way. However, prices will inevitably go up again soon. Premium gas is hella expensive when prices are high.

Now they're talking about the stupid Pirates hijacking tankers.

I think gas prices will be manageable for a while.

who knows how long that while is.

I predict that your prediction is wrong. It won't stay this low, but will not top $150 a barrel.

care to make a wager?

I have $50 bucks on that by May-June 2009, it will be at least $130 per barrel of crude oil, and that Regular Gasoline in the south will be no less than 3.99 a gallon.

(yes its not $150 a barrel, or $5 a gallon, to be on the safe side)

There's a better way to bet with that money. Buy an Oil Future and hold onto it until it hits $150 a barrel, and sell it. Then you will have tripled your money if you were right, and be out far less if it was wrong. Ironically, your buying the Oil future will help to stop price sink and return prices to normal, while you selling at $150 will help to stop price growth and return prices to normal. Funny how the commodities market works, huh?
