Watch the price of gas.

[cpxxx]

The price of oil has been dropping lately thanks to a drop in demand in some countries and for various other reasons. About time too. It's been artificially high for too long. I read somewhere that the US now or soon will surpass Saudia Arabia on oil production. No doubt the climate change lobby will try to up the prices again soon so their fantasy alternative energy ideas will seem almost realistic.

As for term gas or gasoline, that is in fact the correct name for the fuel. Petrol was a trade name in Britain, now long forgotten but the name stuck and in Britain and elsewhere gasoline is referred to as petrol. The same way Hoover is used when referring to a vacuum cleaner or Sellotape/Scotchtape when referring to adhesive tape.

The colonials it seems are right again!

Only some call Budweiser "beer"....and believe it or not there things made over here even worse than Budweiser!

get a budweiser, add about 2 or 3 ounces of fireball whiskey, the one with cinammon.  add a splash of orange juice.   carefully mix it.  best drink ever.  made it for a friend that doesnt like beer.

I should also add that petrol actually refers to kerosene in some countries.

Gotta love how yahoo is making it seem like dropping gas prices is bad for the US economy. While I'm sure there is some kind of argument, they can all kiss my arse!

There is an argument: Yahoo is owned by the corporate media.  The same guys who own the corporate media own shares in petroleum.  They are mad about it, so they want the working class to sympathize with them. 

Do you have sympathy?

Wholesale regular gasoline was just under $2 per gallon on the US exchange last Friday... It will follow the price of crude, which is collapsing under the stress of sharply increased supply....

Why the colonials call Petrol and Gas?

Why do colonials call Budweiser a beer as well?

Why am the English always bringing this up?

We call gasoline gas, it's just short for gasoline.
Why do the english call gasoline petrol (short for petroleum)?  I could easily confuse your word for car fuel with Diesel, kerosene, butane, propane, fuel oil, tar and even asphalt (which you call tarmac).

The more important question regarding Budweiser is "why do people bother drinking Budweiser?"

[DaCoon]

and why do they still call us colonials?
