Christmas-time travelers can revel in the fact that gas prices are finally taking a tumble that will make the long miles easier on their wallets. According to a survey released on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, gas prices have dive-bombed 46 cents a gallon over the course of the past two months.

blupupher Champion Author Houston Posts:3,690 Points:774,770 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Dec 12, 2012 9:34:56 AM Ignore blupupher Report Abuse What is the deal with all these articles stating "crashing", "plummeting" and "diving" prices? Yes they are dropping, but not near as fast as the rose. If prices dropped $0.15 in 1 day (like they rose) then maybe, but $0.15 over 3 weeks, no.

eomc17 Champion Author Tucson Posts:1,840 Points:135,330 Joined:Mar 2007	Message Posted: Dec 11, 2012 9:15:49 AM Ignore eomc17 Report Abuse Gas price crash? The gas prices have been exploding almost all year. This year we are going to set a new all-time high annual average gas price, breaking last year's record. If our demand for gasoline is at an 11 year low, then why has our gas price average going up every year since 2009? One reason is that Obama and his Congress cronies refuse to regulate speculators. Oil went up yesterday because of Germany's confidence? Are you ffffing kidding me? This is completely ridiculous. The other reason is that big oil keeps shutting down refineries, has them blow up, catch fire, or malfunction every single year, and exports a ton of diesel and a lot of gasoline to keep our prices way above true supply and demand levels.

LilRedWagonIN Champion Author Indiana Posts:7,907 Points:1,580,135 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Dec 11, 2012 1:51:18 AM Ignore LilRedWagonIN Report Abuse "Crash?" "dive-bombed?" Well, at least they are trying to get away from all the other articles that used the word "plummet." What words will they use if gasoline pump prices decline more than an average of a penny and a half in a day? If it drops two cents a day, can't imagine what terminology the beserk, rabid, foaming at the mouth, writers delirious at these events will use.

equusheart Rookie Author Riverside Posts:52 Points:37,490 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Dec 10, 2012 10:04:05 PM Ignore equusheart Report Abuse I think it's interesting that they cite fixing refining problems one after another as a reason for gas prices "crashing." I still find it odd that there would be so many refining problems one after another in the first place, especially if the big oil companies that own them are supposed to be doing regular maintenance for productivity and safety reasons.

dhdiesel Veteran Author Riverside Posts:400 Points:44,800 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: Dec 10, 2012 8:37:24 PM Ignore dhdiesel Report Abuse The only thing that is 'crashing' is our economy and the value of the US dollar because the idiots in D.C. are looting the Treasury and borrowing/spending $1.5 trillion per year while printing-up $85 billion per month. At that rate, a gallon of gas will cost a lot more in the very near future as the U.S. dollar continues to 'dive-bomb' in value.

There certainly is not any "tumble". Crude has only dropped by 25¢ since Friday - $85.68 Wholesale gasoline is the same as Friday - $2.60 per gallon This means pump prices will potentially stay around $3.10
