I heard the same thing about that magic number before a computer starts selling off the oil futures but it was in a AP write-up in my local paper. Said we were right against the threshold before the computers kicked in and started selling off everything.

Well we're down to 113 and some change. Keep sliding baby!
The other day I put about 50 bucks in my p/up to top it off, I've only been getting about 40 bucks worth at a time as it's falling. Anyway next day diesel was 10 cents cheaper. That pi$$ed me off big time. :twisted: It's still 4.29 a gallon around this area.

Usually, it's that the one up the street has a higher mortgage payment on the property. There was some study not long ago concluding that (shocker here) gas stations by the freeway charge more for gas. People made the leap that they were scamming drivers, but I guess nobody thought that a corner lot off exit 20 probably costs the gas station twice as much as a lot at the corner of Bob's Road and Elm Street. Same reason you pay $15 for a glass of wine in Manhattan.
