Re: Oil prices plummet after G. W. Bush eliminates executive order...

Actually a lot of people here are running to buy smaller cars. There is a definite issue over here with larger engines since now you can't sell a V8 for more than 1/2 the old kelly blue book value.

A truck driver who is in the know estimated 25% of trucking companies have gone belly up and been bought out over this 'spike'.

Many independent truck drivers have been driven out of paying their payments... and in a first in history... no repo's are going on with these 100-400k vehicles since the dealers can't sell ANY trucks. Soon truck manufactorers who cant show a significant fuel savings in their models will be going bankrupt... very soon. We are looking at a true calamity in the United States if this industry takes to much more damage...

Re: Oil prices plummet after G. W. Bush eliminates executive order...

Thats because it was set there at those rates. Over here the tripling of gas prices is rather sudden in it's spike. This is a problem of business contracts, viability, etc.

Einstein, things still need to get to other places tongue, until we have a store in front of every house that is :S
and prices of transportation have and will obviously go up so people can keep their profits, but there still hasn't been a big enough movement of people to abandon cars or switch to smaller ones, not on a large enough scale atleast, so no real bad side to high oil prices for most the companies in the oil business

Umm people ARE abandoning cars and not buying fuel eaters. A huge movement indeed. Ask ford in that url above. There is an interview clip from Fox news there to, not just print. Don't diss on it from being from Fox since it disproves you. It has a friggin interview and official statement from Ford!

Re: Oil prices plummet after G. W. Bush eliminates executive order...

lol ahhahaha i love how you said don't diss fox LOL

even you know it sucks....big improovement, and actually yeh the first think i thought was it's fox dude tongue
but i'll take that,

and notice in my post i said "switch to smaller ones", switch tongue was done intentionally, lol by that i meant people who are buying new cars are guna consider smaller or more efficient cars, offcourse they will, how could they not? but the fact is some of the big cars or not efficient cars are still on the road, so gas consumption isn't guna go down too near in the future

Re: Oil prices plummet after G. W. Bush eliminates executive order...

Everybody needs to buy a VW lupo 1,4 diesel does 75mpg or 3l/100km

ford is the only american auto manufacturer that makes good cars(not trucks or SUVS, those are crap) like the focus or mondeo... although those are really german so no... americans don't make good cars.
