Price of gas falling
I bought some unleaded regular for $2.18 at Chevron.. I never thought I would see it that low again. Wonder if it will drop even lower?

It's below two dollars at several places now! I just won $20 on a bet.

The summer driving season has come to an end. Israel is no longer bombing Lebanon. No new Hurricanes this summer to mess up the oil refineries in the gulf region like we had last year. Simple supply and demand. People got sick of $3.00/gallon gasoline and cut back.. And then there are those who believe: Quote:

Cutting Back

No, they didn't. Consumption has increased as steadily as it always has. |

I don't agree with the supply and demand theory at all. I don't believe in a summer blend. Why would there have to be a summer blend that is not in use the rest of the year? It's a very simple concept of filling pocketbooks if you are the one backing this. If your not, then you get shafted like the rest of us. (You-is used here as the gas people) look at the rise in cost of consumer goods.... Gas has gone down, but will consumables? No way. So we still get to feel the pinch. Any little hiccup raises the price of gas. Has anyone heard anymore of the BP Pipeline? I haven't heard whether it's back up and running or not. It ws still down when gas prices started falling. Go figure. Are the refineries down south in full commission yet? Seems to me the less gas we produce ourselves, the cheaper the price? Doesn't make sense.

Summer Blend
>Why would there have to be a summer blend that is not in use the rest of the year?
Because different types of gas behave differently at different temperatures. "Summer" gas has been modified to reduce voliatiles that evaporate at normal summer temperatures and cause air pollution. Summer gas isn't as good at starting in cold weather, so we don't use it in the winter. We could probably get away with in in Shreveport, but a lo oft (if not most of) the rest of the country would notice. |

Stalling car
Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. If they are get a shop to do a load test to make sure the alternator is up to snuff.

When I was young, we poured Coca Cola on our corroded battery terminals. I don't know if it was the carbonation or phosphoric acid or what, but it bubbled up and sure did the job. I would imagine club soda would be less sticky. LOL
