Well i'm from massachusetts and the prices have gone down a lot which is great. I pay about 2 a gallon and before it was up to almost 3 bucks which for me was very expensive. I think its still too high but i cant complain since they have come down quite a bit.

I think that the prices change too much for it to be out of necessity. The profit they make are so large that I do not believe they need that much to pay the large salaries and reinvest in technology. The timing of the swings is so obvious too.. like when the social security checks come out they know people are spending it on food and bills and their fuel so the prices go up on fuel. We could fight back and consumer less until the prices came down with a bit of planning and commitment. We still have the power of the people if we just exercise it. Fuel has come down a bit here however you can't convince me that 2.31 is what is needed when a town away is 2.14. Just thought I could add my thoughts. Looking forward to what others think!

OMIGOSH, it was killing me before, but now they are finally dropping out here in Colorado. I just think it's ridiculous, I thought the prices were suppose to be regulated???!!!!

Well of course we would all like to see it cheaper but I'm much happier than I was a few months ago. We as a society need to step up our alternative fuel programs to make our environment cleaner. Solar, wind power if we can get our government behind these programs we would all be better off...well except for the oil companies.

The price of petrol here in Australia is ridiculous. It's averaging about $1.50 a litre (thats like $3US I think, or there abouts anyway). Its just so difficult to be able to afford it with only one income and a five month old bub. I wish my car was on gas cause thats only about 50 cents a litre. The government really needs to pull their socks up and introduce some sort of assistance because this is getting ridiculous. Great question by the way...
