All-time record for gas prices in 2011

That link never finished loading, but my clear memory contradicts the statement. When I was paying over $4.00/gallon, Bush was president. I remember because first he was accused of running up the price, and when they dropped like a rock he was blamed for screwing up the economy. I'm going with memory.

Now, this year the price got pennies away from that 4.00, the economy is screwed up, and the price is almost down to 3.00/gal. What's up?

According to Realjohnboy on another thread, the price in his neck of the woods (VA) is down to just about $3.00. Here in the paradise of the Pacific, if you can find a station that sells it for $4.00, you better fill up fast. Avg. here is about $4.25 and up.

Is it trending up? Still edging down around here.

Like I say, you have to keep in mind that Bork has achieved rising gasoline prices in a DEFLATIONARY economy when prices for other things are falling and the M2 money supply is below what it was three years ago.

Also note that George W. Bush finally started talking about drilling offshore and just talking about that knocked forty or fifty bucks off the price of a barrel of oil in a single day. By way of contrast, everything Bork has donehas had the effect of limiting our options and raising the price of gasoline.

I just paid $3.08 this morning, it's been dropping every month it seems.

The article involved year-long averages.

And they have been dropping all year.

paid 109.9 the other day















per litre

average lately has been about 125, this summer we hit close to 140

They rose up to an insane level, presumably around the end of 2010, and haven't fallen off much. Again the 2011 average is the all-time high. By all rights given the supplies we have in the US, gasoline should be around a dollar a gallon. We'd have to drill oil and refine it to get there of course.

Environmentalum delenda est....

Same here..$3.19 per gallon ... trends toward lowered prices every month. Certainly there was no record high price set in 2011.

In July 2008 was the peak of avg of $4.05 gallon. Also, FWIW, at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 it was at $1.60 per gallon.

That july 2008 was the recent max peak. And we are so far from that with the trend which has been lowering.

Check the facts.

but, but, but.........that doesn't defend the agenda
