Gas Prices and Drudge Report

[Fezticle98]

<p>So, this picture is on drudgereport.com near the headlines <a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060925/D8KC224G0.html"><strong><font face="Courier New">Oil Dips Below $60... </font></strong></a>and <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/7ef0bb92-4cc8-11db-b03c-0000779e2340.html"><font face="Arial" size="1">OPEC CONSIDERS DROP IN OUTPUT</font></a>:</p><p><img src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3107/drudgegx9.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>I don't know about where you guys are, but gas is about $2.30/gal, where I live, not $1.49. Lowest I found on gasbuddy.com was $1.99 in Des Moines, IA. Seems that they are using some old picture to make it seem that gas prices are dropping lower than they really are.</p><p>How much is gas where you live?</p>

i paid 2.69 today.&nbsp; thats what it was last june (2005).&nbsp; it is no way close to 1.49.&nbsp; now, why would they cut back output now that the price is coming down?&nbsp; Why not just keep the status quo so that we can have some $$$ in our purses.&nbsp;

The Drudge Report presents both&nbsp;sides of a story and points out the hypocrasies (spelling?)&nbsp;of both sides, therefore liberals hate it.&nbsp; Liberals only want to hear one side of the story - theirs.&nbsp;

I don't see anything wrong with being what he is.&nbsp; We are all grown up enough to click on the link and read the story and not go by headlines.&nbsp; I think we can all then discern what's opinion and what's not if you are so concerned with that.<br />

Well the gas right around the corner from me is $2.29 per gallon but the Delta station in Fairfield, NJ&nbsp;on Clinton road is $2.25 per gallon. Not bad for the tri-state area at all! I know NYC is still at about 2.60. per gallon.

[Gvac]

<p>I filled up my tank for $2.19/gallon yesterday here in Jersey.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[mdr55]

Regular was under $2.00 near A.C.<br />

[empulse]

<p>Hmmm. election draws near for&nbsp;a republican party in soo much trouble, and no one is questioning&nbsp;WHY gas has dropped a penny a day&nbsp;for the&nbsp;last couple weeks, I bet not 2 days after the mid-terms&nbsp;this shit is through the roof again.&nbsp; And Drudge is a liar pure and simple.&nbsp; Pull out the LIberals don't wanna hear both sides of the argument...and shove it up your ass.&nbsp; You can take a Bush loyalist and lay out the FACTS (Not to be confused with OPINION) and show time and time again, mistakes have been made.&nbsp;Not even arguing the merit of the mistake, but the fact that a mistake was made, and they will kick and&nbsp;scream and yell (and blame clinton)&nbsp;that its not true because one of the TV news people says it isn't.&nbsp; Drudge is a pool-boy for the RNC, he takes their money and does their bidding.</p><p>And the wah-WaH about the Liberal media is crap too.&nbsp; Its corporate media, not liberal. (by the way name all of the liberal anchors...) To read Drudge and feel like you are reading Independent media is a joke.&nbsp; He gets his talking points right from the RNC everyday.&nbsp;And makes up news stories to fit the intended message.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gas in SWFL : 2.49$ gallon.</p>
