You may like the falling gas prices ... How about the falling stock market ?

Dow is down 2,000 points today (largest 1-day point loss in the history of the stock market)

Your going to need cheap gas prices after you have lost your *** in the stock market !

Wow where are you located? I am in Massachusetts and seeing $2.39 for 87 octane. Have not noticed premium costs since the Vette is still off the road.

Just saw on the news that Saudi Arabia and Russia are in an oil pricing war...crude oil prices to go down even further. Rough times ahead...

Yep.....saved $3 on a tank of gas on the same day as losing $30,000 in my retirement account. Life is good.

That's how the market is, it goes up, it goes down. The real risk is how much people's finances and retirement depends on the market. Not a good thing.

$2.40 for REGULAR **** GAS here in this Gd-forsaken shithole of a town 75 miles south of Tucson. It's BULLSHIT. And they play this ****-**** game on pricing because we are isolated and they think it's like importing gas straight from the BTC Pipeline.
