#1 "Consumers seem to view gasoline prices as a barometer to their overall well being."

LOL! Sad yet true. What is gasoline these days? 50% of the variable cost of running an auto?

#2 It is possibe that this is bad news for the Donks because they have invested in failure in order to win. We have to be losing the WOT in order for the Donks to regain power. The economy has to tank because the republicans are evil. Poverty, crime, and education have to in peril otherwise the Donks can't win. The common theme here is not a positive one.

#4 The price of gas affects the price of just about everything else we buy - food, clothing, everything but housing. A drop in gas prices means a gradual drop in everything else that has to be transported from one place to another. Dropping gas prices do help. More stateside oil production and refining would help even more.
