Oil prices fell below $41 a barrel Friday in Asia as soaring U.S. unemployment and bleak corporate results kept investors pessimistic about demand for crude. But price at the pump is acting more like it's $60 a barrel... |

#3 I use the McDonald's inflation standard. When it was 15 cents for a hamburger, or fries, or a small drink (total 45 cents), gas was running about 40 cents a gallon were I was [not counting 'gas wars' that occasionally broke out dropping it to the low 30s]. Today the 'All American' meal is over $2, a gallon of gas is back to about the same [and that's with a heck of a lot of local/state/fed tax that wasn't there so long ago]. |
