Just a little bit of variance there! I'm actually quite suprised with gas prices of late. Around here, it's been dropping about $0.10 a week, down to $2.58. Was over $3. Been trying to decide when to buy my winters heating oil, which follows the gas prices pretty close here. Trying to guess which way the price will go is a guessing game. If it's like last year, maybe I should decide it based on where the hurricanes are going and buy before one gets into the gulf.

I think I can understand why Kuwait and SA would have low gas prices....

But...Caracas, Venezula?? They got secret oil wells down there or something? Question

Venezuela actually has alot of oil. In fact, it is a member of OPEC. Citgo is owned by the Venezuelan national oil company. So that's why it's cheap there.

Venezuela also has a wacko leader. That also seems to be a prerequisite to having oil.

True, Dave, but we are saving ours and buying other people's. Just like you Canucks we control our leader and limit what he can do. Very Happy
