69 cents per gallon for taxes and fees in CA...OUCH!

Yep. And the voters just keep on blindly passing new measures that keep dinging the gas tax. They don't have a clue that we pay so much. But that's OK. They're all going to save the world with their Prius's. (The Prius is going to be the VW Bug of the new millennium)

The new taxes based on miles you drive will be an interesting test...:)

Its election time, that's why the prices are dropping. Once they are over, the prices will go back up

So if the priuses are the new VW Bugs, does that mean we have to teach kids to hug each other instead of punching each other when they spot one on road trips?

That seems unlikely given that gas prices leading up to the 2012 presidential election were doing the opposite of what they are doing now, peaking a little over a week before final voting on Nov 6th and then dropping to a 12-month low mid-december.

And of course....

Fox "news" has done a 180... in their "fair and balanced " way !!!

From blaming POTUS for high gas prices...hurting everyone.
Now blaming POTUS for low prices that....hurt the economy.

Cheap energy is here to stay for awhile. Nothing to do with POTUS or election. Shale gas production is a huge factor. Producing more oil than needed in the world. Efficiency increasing everywhere. Many other factors at play. US to be largest energy producer by 2017 outpacing Russia with gas in 2015 and outpacing Saudi Arabia with oil by 2017.
