Hi Norm !

With Gasoline around 2.949 per gal. in New Jersey, hope that crude drop hits the pumps sooner, then later !;)
 
Yep it's pretty expensive in NJ due to taxes and having to pay those Union Gas Pumpers.:laugh:
Well it's competing with the Dollar so it may take a while. You must understand that it's not an easy job for them to rig these prices.:cool:
Nice to hear from you SB!

Cable: Shell infiltrates Nigerian ministries
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A U.S. Embassy cable released by the WikiLeaks website alleges that Royal Dutch Shell PLC's top manager in Nigeria claimed the oil company had sources inside of "all relevant ministries" involving its business.

The cable dated Oct. 20, 2009, quotes Shell's Ann Pickard. Pickard allegedly said that the Nigerian government "had forgotten that Shell had seconded people to all the relevant ministries and that Shell consequently had access to everything that was being done in those ministries."

Ha! Looks like MarketWatch needs to get their stuff together, let's see how much a barrel is that? 32 oz a quart x 4 = 128 oz x 60 gallons = 7680 oz a barrel x $88.87 = $682,521.60 WOW!!:laugh:
 
OW OW. It's a cold winter in Europe already, China's oil demand also rising, and we are still beholden to crude oil prices based on dollars. Since our price is the international price, our price goes as world supply goes, not how our domestic supply goes. The last thing we need next year is $4 a gallon gas.
