Average Gas Price Declines For First Time In A Year.... By Six Tenths Of A Cent
And so we see why the proverbial 15 minute inflation reduction, even achieved though such brute force methods as relentless margin hikes everywhere except in the ES and 100x forward P/E stocks, is nothing but hot air. After dropping by over 10% in a few days, crude is now trading at a level that corresponded to gasoline in the low $3.00 range. Instead, as AAA reports, average gas prices did decline.... by $0.006. Apparently in his extended Princetonian studies, Printocchio never got to the class which says that prices are sticky on the way up, and refuse to plunge with the same enthusiasm, especially when involving margin starved companies which are more than happy not to undercut each other on overhead prices for a long, long time.
And while crude is already on the way up, and will likely regain its recent highs within a week, average gas prices continues to be just 15 cents away from the all time highs hit in 2008. Surely, this "massive" differential is enough to fill consumers with a warm, fuzzy glow.
And lastly, and most importantly, about 15 states now have an average regular price of over $4.00. Now where is Laszlo's ruler...

Boost in consumer spending all around. That should be good for an entire 1% on GDP. Time for Goldman, JPM, et. al, to send out their revisions boosting predictions.
Time to load up on gasoline. How many 5 gallon cans can I fit under my queen size bed?
Physical is the only way to die. :>)
Get a king size water bed and fill it up - just don't smoke in bed.
LOL
And don't forget the STA-BIL.
laughable. destruction of the middle class continues.
Indeed, NOTW777.
This, this is the slow-motion trainwreck happening across the nation as we read. You can almost hear the rivets popping out. There is a massive hollowing going on beneath Main Street which will end up effectively like that freakish sinkhole in Guatemala (?) last year.
And this is why the current Administration is occupying itself orchestrating circuses and gladiatorial conquests for the entertainment of the unwashed.
Hooray!!! Inflation's dead!!!
Ya, well take a look at wholesale gas today. Up about .18 a gallon now. So much for a decline. Lasted a long time?
was that the extent of the Fed's "Power to pop commodity bubble" ?

Just a teaser from the article:
The $.0.006 difference may sound tiny, but when multiplied over a number of days it starts to add up to a more significant number.
so does the writer's IQ.
Clearly the writer is grasping at ounces.
How I long for "gas wars". You've got to have a half century under your belt to remember.
Gas wars, isn't that why we are in iraq and such?
Yep, got that half century stuff going on, but more like sagging over the belt.
Time to bring out the Massturd Gas mask
.... A long time ago in a United States far far away...
Amazing how retail stocks are still unfazed.
People have money to burn, I guess....
LOL....
Primary dealers, maybe.
Not that you would understand the mechanics of that.
"money to burn"....Freudian slip, Robo?
Yeah, and with volume in the toilet like it's been for two years... Hmm, almost like there is manipulation going on, eh? Enjoy your crumbs, they may be your last meal.
Look at the SPX go. It's as if someone tied a bottle rocket to the markets balls and lit the fuse. Once QE2 ends though, that rocket will pop and the nuts will fall.
way to go obama !
RBOB + 15 centz, leveling off.
one good map deserves another: wind shift to SE over fuk_u: Japan Wind Map
Price of diesel dropped 16 cents per litre in my corner of europe over the weekend.
Got gas this weekend for 3.989. Felt like I was cheating the system.
And NO ONE dropped the 'Green Shootz, Bitchez' post - C'mon lads its 6/10's of 1 cent! Think of the increase in discretionary consumer spending...Calling James Altucher - Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone in the lobby for an important message - Dow to 20K - SARCASM off!
