For all you nay-sayers who like to post one questionable source, then claim that the American economy is falling off the cliff, you might want to read this article.

Now I know, I know... The world is going to hell in a handbasket, and it's all George Bush's fault. But you might want to read the article anyway.

Looks like gas prices are decling as well

Mehhh... We've now been trained to think that anything under $2.00 per gallon is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

Technically aren't gasoline prices today relatively cheap when compared to the price index of other goods over the many years?

As opposed to the "nay-sayers" who blindly question the source, based solely on a dislike of "partisan", and completely ignore the content...

Facts and figures don't lie, but we can sure as hell ignore them if they are repeated by somebody we can claim as "partisan", eh Jefferson?

Interesting.
Economic predictions.
Hopefully, for the country's sake, they come true.


I thought it was a pretty well accepted economic reality that the president himself doesn't really have any control over the economy.
With that being said, the public certainly seems to have some sort of belief as to the correlation.

And to that end, if a presidential administration misrepresents the data of our economy, THAT would be an issue...

Yeah, they are. And American gas prices are actually very low, compared to the price of gas in other developed countries.

I personally doubt we'll ever see gas under $2 per gallon again. That's one reason I'm buying E85 at $1.78 per gallon.

Short answer, yes.

Outside a 7-Eleven in West Seattle the other day, gasoline cost $2.60 to $2.85 a gallon, depending on grade. Inside the store, milk cost $2.50 to $2.99 a gallon, also depending on grade.

Consumers probably grump over the price while pumping gas but don't think twice as they buy milk. That's because few people realize that over 20 years, prices of these two commonly purchased liquids have climbed by nearly identical amounts. And grocery prices overall have risen even more than gas prices, according to the federal keepers of price data.

I had a college professor in economics profess that he thought America should significantly RAISE our gas prices to help stimulate a need for alternative fuel sources, and to help reduce the amount of consumer use.

This is NO LIE! My Macroeconomics professor said this last Friday in class! I swear!

I was looking online for more information about E85..with an octane rating of 105, that would be great for mild street/race engines! If I build up my motor for high compressions, i'm sure my car would like the high octane rating!

Sweden has been doing this for decades.
