Interesting.
I recall reading that the consumers were being prepared/conditioned for $4/gal.
I also recall reading that the recent price drop was due to the September elections. One might wonder how the recent drop in price in Australia might be associated with the September primary elections in the U.S., but that is a separate subject.
I read now that the price will go up by some amount by the end of November. Would that be up from the high prices in May & June (which coincide with the first theory), the prices at the time of the primary elections (second theory), the current prices, or the prices of just before the November general elections? Will there be any impact on the Australian prices?
I wonder if there is no correlation between the price of petrol/gasoline and American elections.

When the vendor willingly reduces prices significantly while obviously maintaining an adequate profit level, it shows that the higher prices they have stepped back from were excessive,and thus were profiteering.
Otherwise, these philanthropists have taken a loss just for the benefit of their customers.

Gentlefolk,
Although they are on the agenda (ethanol very much so - $2,000,000,000 annual subsidy), ethanol and other biomass fuels are not a panacea. dicksbro's point about reducing our reliance on imports of foreign oil is well taken, however …
The October issue of Consumer Reports, the article “The ethanol myth (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/new-cars/ethanol-10-06/overview/1006_ethanol_ov1_1.htm)” debunks some of the unjustified claims made for this gasoline alternative. Basically, it will cost you more.
In the September issue of Scientific American (http://www.sciam.com/issue.cfm?issueDate=Sep-06), in the article “The Rise of Renewable Energy (http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&colID=1&articleID=000B1A4F-0944-14E6-BFF883414B7F0000)” by Daniel Kammen, even the promise of a reduction in greenhouse gases is called into question. His analysis of ethanol’s impact on greenhouse gas emission is ambiguous, to say the least. “If we use different assumptions about these [agricultural] practices, the results to switching to ethanol [produced from corn] range from a 36% drop in emissions to a 29% increase. Although corn-based ethanol may help the U.S. reduce its reliance on foreign oil, it will probably not do much to slow global warming unless the production of the biofuel becomes cleaner.”
Scarecrow

jseal, is global warming due to burning of fossil or the cutting down of the worlds forest to feed billions of humans, who breath out CO2. Or is it just a normal cycle of the planet?
jseal
10-10-2006, 05:22 AM
Scarecrow,
A reasonable question, and one asked by many.
The general consensus by scientists who study the subject is that global warming is substantiated by the evidence. Further, and this is the contentious issue, the general consensus is also that a significant amount - if not the majority - of the greenhouse gas emissions involved in this global warming are generated by human activity. Of that amount (whether or not that amount does indeed contribute to or augment the measured global warming) the overwhelming fraction or portion of the greenhouse gases produced by human activity is carbon dioxide, and that carbon dioxide is created primarily by internal combustion engines used by automobiles (or the transportation industry for the purists).
While the debate rages about the best way(s) to address this feature of human activity, global warming is not, and while the size of the fraction attributable to human activity might be, that human activity is a contributor is well established. This is not to say that humans are the only cause, or are solely responsible, as some of the unbalanced fruitcakes would have you believe.
If one accepts that the proposition that global warming has been substantiated, that it is driven primarily by the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, and we are responsible for the management of the portion of the greenhouse gas emissions which we produce, then it makes sense to focus our initial efforts on the one – carbon dioxide – we produce most.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.
It looks as if the price of oil, which is what the price of a gallon of gas/petrol is based upon, has not only stopped falling, but has started to go up again (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6057624.stm). It should not take long for any increase in the cost per barrel to show up at the pump.

I think it's inevitable no matter who's in power or who controls congress. The election maybe affected the timing to a small degree, but not the end result. :(

dicksbro,
Yes indeed it is. The supply is controlled while the demand is not. China’s rapidly growing economy has caused that country to become a major oil consumer. It is now second only to the U.S. as an oil importer (http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501041025-725174,00.html). Contention for Middle East oil between the U.S. and China is already a security issue (http://www.iags.org/china.htm).
… We need to reduce oil usage .... period …
Aye, there's the rub. That will be very difficult to do, and the longer we wait before we begin to try (really try, not just talking about it) the more unpleasant the process will be.
… $2.29 here today was as low as I saw it. High was $2.34 (I think).
Low around here is $2.15 this week. You don’t need silly conspiracy theories to explain the pump price.
