Though Democrats may mouth support for a higher gas tax, they'd never have the nerve to run on it or enact it.

There's nothing remotely grand about making you look like an idiotic blowhard.

Down to 199.9 today.

I'm down to 1/4 of a tank, but I'm afraid if I fill up now I'll miss out on the next price drop.

I wonder if Governor Oops will take credit for the effect this chain of events will have on the Texas economy.

On Christmas eve I filled up for $2 a gallon. It cost me 28 bucks for 14 gallons.

According to the government's inflation calculator the $2 a gallon adjusted for inflation is equivalent to 26 cents a gallon in 1963 money, the year I first got my Driver's license.

That Texas miracle is going to look like tumbleweeds if the price of oil stays low, I wonder if the Keystone XL will get built.

I think it should get built and then sit unused.

$1.60 a gal for my last fill-up. Of course, that was with a $.30/gal discount for buying my groceries at Kroger....
