We were talking about this today... but does anyone think that prices will ever drop below $1.50 again?
I'm betting that we'll see $3.00/gallon before September starts up.

Kansas City Metro, Ks. 2.69, Mo. slightly less.
From the reports that I have been hearing, Prem and Super Prem. arent any better than Reg. Unleaded. Typical brain washing of American people.
The Main reason that gas is going up is lack of refieries. Those that have been dismantled were not replaced
There was a great article in the Kansas City Star @ 2 weeks ago about a refinery in Arkansas City, Ks. Total, a French company dismantled it as opposed selling to keep the profits going up.
A refinery in Coffeville, Ks. sold for 2.5 mill in the Farm Land Bankruptcy, 1 year later it just sold for 400.0 Mil. Begain making money within the year it was reopened.
Ethenol plants are being built and plans on the boards for more in Kansas. But Ethenol is not that less expensive as production is not that large. The only thing with Ethenol is it is from grain that can continually be regrown. Not just depleation until gone.
Prices are not going to go down much.
Only big car I ever owned was a !967 Riv in 1968. Love Hondas on my fourth.
Thank God I only drive 3 1/2 miles a day.
