I sure get tired of these games.  Here oil prices have been dropping like like a rock as far as barrel prices are concerned, but what about the pump?  Just tonight, I looked again and the price per gallon is $3.30.  This is pure rip off, but hey, that is nothing new!

So, lets go back in history a bit and take a look.  Here is an article from 2005 when prices had climbed to near $60 per barrel (yes, I know ours is around $70, but that should not make this much of a difference):

Yep, the nationwide average was $2.13 per gallon at near $60.  Here is another article from 2005 where prices where at $55 per barrel:

Yep, that is $2.00 per gallon and they were worried it would hit $2.10 per gallon.

And gas is current $3.30 why?  Oh yeah, pure greed.

That reminds me of yet another campaign line I am tired of hearing, “we must cut or demand for oil”.  Okay, let us look at this for a minute.  This is coming from millionaires who are running for President of the USA, who have managed to arrive at their speaking engagement on a jet, wasting more fuel that many lowly people, being shuffled around in big fancy limos, burning millions of $$$ in campaign funds, and they are asking “us” to cut back?  Come on, its called “being a leader” for a reason!
