It dropped again today, it's at $4.11, down 2 cents from yesterday; this is Chevron again.

Tax
Glenn Beck is picking a fight again with General Motors.
He's mad at GM CEO Dan Akerson for suggesting that gas taxes should be hiked 50 cents to $1 a gallon to encourage sales of electric and other alternative-energy-power cars.
"A 50-cent gas tax would make everyone puke. A dollar might make me puke my heart and lungs," the conservative commentator said on his Fox News show yesterday. He says that forcing up gas prices will force up the price of all goods and services, hitting hard at the poor.
Beck says moves to increase energy efficiency in cars will push new car prices up an average of $3,500. He even goes after Chevrolet Volt, GM's acclaimed extended-range electric wonder car. In addressing Akerson directly, Beck says, "I've seen your crappy new electric car. Nobody is buying it."
He blasts Akerson personally for being a former executive at the Carlyle Group, an international investment firm. Beck, who has drawn fire from the left for weaving conspiracy theories, alleges that Carlyle has ties to conservative punching bag and billionaire George Soros and former secretary of State Madeleine Albright's daughter, Colin Powell and Prince Al-Waleed, a Saudi investor. He decries GM for taking billions in federal bailouts and says the automaker hasn't repaid -- and probably won't. "We're losing, I think it's $18 billion dollars on this deal," he says.
GM bashing is a recurring theme with Beck. He took on the same repayment issue during a show in April.

I hope they don't get any more help from the government. The sooner they go down under, the better.

Lowest Premium Fuel I've Seen In a Minute....
Just in time for a fill up this morning! Went to Kroger and got $.40 off/gallon from my grocery shopping.
What kind of pricing are you guys getting on Premium around the Country?

I paid $3.19 today for regular. Went to safeway and bought $250 worth of groceries. I got $0.10 off per gallon for every $50 spent. So basically, I saved $0.50 a gallon on gas, for up to 50 gallons. All I needed was 22 
. Regular price without buying groceries was $3.69
I saved $11 on that tank of gas.

Let it keep dropping, slowly but surely. 3.67 for 93 as of Saturday here.

Just a note that America loves fear and buy into it everytime, just like 2008...........
Energy traders knew this months ago, easy way for people to look ahead is to check propane prices....
