Oil prices are global and nothing America did had much of an effect. Markets always wander toward fringes then retreat. It was expected.

Yeah but our dear government who only has your best interests in mind wants to raise taxes since they are getting less revenue because we cut back.  :rofl :rofl

What was that? Did I just hear the sky falling?

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

People are so funny...they b1tch and complain about gas...buy hybrids...don't drive as much...but as soon as it goes down they're back to buying gas-guzzling SUVs and driving 2 minutes to work.

You can thank the Christian movement for lower gas prices. (Rolling Eyes here)

All the speculators are cashing out before their options expire at the end of the month.

Cap, Indirectly we have made a difference.I have a good friend that sells high end bikes.
the are selling them like crazy. They have electric assist, good for 20 miles.Motor cycle and scooters
are selling like hotcakes. Folks are buying lots of small gas efficient cars and dumping their big
trucks and SUVS. people are parking their boats or if the do go out they sit in a cove instead
of driving all over the lake.
  These are just a few things that have made the demand go down in America. Its making a difference!!

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night.
It's just the lull before the Labor day weekend.

So what you are saying is the U.S is not using less fuel???
Remember 3 or 4 years ago when all you saw on the road were big SUVS and full size trucks?
Now look out the window and see how many are out there now. Not many. that variable alone
cut fuel consumption way down.

What I'm saying is that t is the American way.

Buy more fuel efficient cars, but drive them more often or farther.

Just like we buy "reduced fat" junk food, but eat twice as much.

Ever buy a new motorcycle?  Fun, wasn't it?  How many extra hours did you drive it that SAME day?  How many extra people did you go visit to show it off?      Just a general example and not a personal attack at you, Kaw.
