Are you serious?You do realize that if the dollar is worth 44.6% less than it used to be then it is worth 55.4% of it's original amount. That would mean imports should cost you 181% of their old price (1/0.554). That means prices SHOULD have increased 81%.
hahaha.. 35 mpg isn't nothing.. our frickin' cars should be getting a 100mpg.. at least!. My 13 yr old car gets 35mpg now and that isn't good enough! I would ride a bike to work but that's a 50 mile round trip. I have no choice but to get reamed at the gas pump. Those that say America is free just don't get it. We are slaves to the system with no way out other than to quit cold turkey...
Or drill ANWAR and the US/Canada border, all while opening new refineries. We could single-handedly flood the market as well as dramatically lower our costs.

exactly, the experts said that the reason the price will start to fall is because demand for oil will go down.
