Ready Eddie Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:5,909 Points:1,369,495 Joined:Feb 2003	Message Posted: Nov 16, 2012 11:34:00 AM Ignore Ready Eddie Report Abuse I just want to point out that only 5 out of the last 20 post against this article are of any length. Since I was just warned for my post being too short and just trying to collect points I thought it appropriate to look at other writers. A forum is for reading and if desired responding to. May agree or not may be long winded or short. What is an acceptable level if response should be up to each of us for our own input. As for myself I tend to read the shorter post. Most of the time they say as much but in a lot less words. Sorry for going off subject but this one is either old or a slight rewrite as it reads just like an article seen over and over again.

DeserTBoB Champion Author California Posts:1,461 Points:224,000 Joined:Aug 2012	Message Posted: Nov 16, 2012 11:25:18 AM Ignore DeserTBoB Report Abuse Reg prices are the lowest here that they've been in 19 months and, as of today, are still dropping as various independents engage in "gas wars" to try to keep volume up at the expense of Chevron, mostly. ChevronTexaco, always the "high priced retailer," is now starting to crumble, too. What's causing the drop? That huge "refinery spike" in CA drove prices through the roof (over $5/gal in most places), and brainless drivers finally got a wake-up call. Driving mileage is down significantly and speeds on freeways have dropped almost 20 MPH average, per the CHP. Sometimes you need to shock dumb people to make them think.
