My other car is not a Prius so I still like cheap gas. Gas tax in my state is about 50 cents. So I should see gas at the pump for $1.90 in a week or two. Nice. If the barrel price goes under fifty bucks - Wow.
ha! yeah right. In Canada, despite $50/barrel for oil, we're still riding on $1/litre (that's around $3.75/gal). At $50/barrel, we should be down to 60¢/litre. They claim that they "haven't received the $50/barrel crude oil yet." Uh huh. and when it shoots up to $70/barrel, shipment magically becomes faster and they get the oil sooner.
And of course people have short memories and they'll start buying up the gas hogging vehicles again, and then we'll hear them gripe about not being able to afford their car because fuel is back to normal price-gouging levels.
