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?  _________________ CARMA |

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. _________________ Nick's Security Ticker

Venezuela also has a wacko leader. That also seems to be a prerequisite to having oil. _________________ Nick's Security Ticker

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.  |

But I did leave that earlier post open enough to let you have just a bit of room to have a poke. _________________ Nick's Security Ticker
