I think we're all in the same boat, Dmitry. Oil is a finite resource and it's starting to run out. So far nobody but France seems to be very proactive about coming up with a viable replacement. We're all going to be hurting soon. *group hug*

Now it's about 67-69 cents/litre here, so that would be $1.97 (I'm using the google converter so it may be wrong)

As I understand it, gas/petrol prices are down for two reasons:

1) Actual demand is down. Not so much driving-type of demand (thought that is down too), but industrial demand - industrial plants, construction, all the big gas/petrol using activities are way down in this worldwide economic slump.

2. Anticipated demand is down. People think that the economy will be in the pits for a long time, they anticipate that demand will be down for a long time.

When the economy improves, demand will go up, and so will the price of gas/petrol.

I heard it explained this way: What is the value of a gallon of gas to a non-industrial society? Zero. So, the worse the economy becomes, i.e., the more we approach a non-industrial society, the lower the price of gas will be.

i am suspicious of the low gas prices...oil by the quart is still 3 and 4 dollars a container...i think they are going to wait and then create another crisis...then really sock it to us...
