Oil prices have fallen a little over 35% from their peaks while gas has only fallen around 25% from the peak, depending mainly on where you live. The primary reason for this was the massive shutdown of refining capacity in the Gulf from the two hurricanes. Once we are back to full capacity, pump prices will fall a bit faster. That should occur within the next 2-4 weeks. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SPIDER_STANG</b> <br /><small>Member # 8658</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,9,2,19,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yep the white man getting rich on us!!!
