My Grandma said back probally 20-30 years ago like the 70s and 80s she went down south and gas was 50 Cents a gallon because of a gas war...I forget when she said she went but it was 20 to 30 years ago...

Well, now I'm feeling bad. Gas out here dropped to 2.39.
DDay, do you have some massive state or local gas tax? Federal is trivial (17 cents per gallon), but regional taxes can be bizarre. I remember that when I was living in FL and went to visit my aunt and grandmother over near Tampa, I had to make sure not to stop for gas in Naples, because they had a city gas tax that added a pretty good amount to the price (I think it was 20-30 cents per gallon).
Eventually, the Europeans will chime in with prices across the pond and we'll realize how good we have it.
It's webbrowser stuff. Oddly, I only remember using that one time, and I don't remember what it was for, except that I then abandoned it in favor of some kind of web service...and I don't remember what that was for, either.Quote:

I don't know. All I know is that gas is cheaper by about $0.10 per gallon in Arkansas and Mississippi. Texas holds about the same though.Quote:

Yesterday I paid £1.19 for a litre of diesel. Petrol was priced roughly the same. According to some on line exchange rate calculator I found that's $1.48, so we're paying almost as for a litre as you guys pay for a gallon:mad:Quote:

Still, I reckon the Dollar's about to drop in value so there's a silver lining:p
Yep. Dow is projected to fall 500 points I DO NOT like big companies but they are what have alot of jobs for us, and without them people would be unemployed.Quote:

If your look for it to follow Stirling's post Brexit pattern you'll see a nose-dive, followed by a rapid strong recovery, followed by a more gradual decline. The nose dive and the recovery are caused by speculators and aren't "real". The gradual decline, on the other hand, is caused by genuine market pressures as long term investors lose confidence in the US economy under Trump. Of course, it's possible that Trump will be able to convince everyone that he's a safe pair of hands and you'll see a rise instead but I doubt it. Given his business background he may actually be a safe pair of hands but that's not the perception and it will be perception that drives the exchange rates.
However the Pound Sterling has taken a steep nosedive. Prior to Brexit it was around $1.60. After it is around $1.30.Quote:

Better get there before they decide to build a wall though. I understand they're going to get the US to pay for it.Quote:

Just hire a bunch of illegal immigrants, get them to build it and make sure they are on the Mexican side when it's finished - make sure they don't have any rope or ladders...Quote:
