BillD, you just may have hit on the reason for gas prices coming down. It's no doubt a simplification of the process, but your switching to the Saturn effects demand in a positive way, thus supply goes up and prices come down. I find myself thinking about using the/our auto that gets the best mileage, as well as taking shorter routes, or just not going at all. Thankfully, we're not the only ones doing that. Having to depend on OPEC for energy definitely leaves me worried that the other shoe will soon be falling. Forget the political spin, I'm for becoming more independent. I'm just as concerned about the environment as the next person, but I have no problem with drilling in Alaska. "Cringe" Now I'll just wait for the drilling to start on my head from several of our friends here at Mudcat.
