Gas Prices Dip To $1.30 A Gallon - Will This Pull The Rug From Underneath Hybrid And EV Sales?

Gas-guzzling cars are gaining favor once again, as low oil prices are cheapening petrol, driving consumers away from more economic and expensive eco-friendly models.

Both Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude have fallen below $50 per barrel, greatly cheapening the cost of refined products such as gasoline and petroleum.

In the US, gasoline for cars is selling for about $2 per gallon according to the Automobile Association of America (AAA). In Dallas, Texas, a nationwide record was set on Saturday of $1.30 per gallon.

..Now, now, don't let a knee jerk reaction like temp falling gas prices trip you up. We all know what goes down, ultimately goes up. All someone has to do is fart in the middle east, and prices will jump back up way before your new gas guzzler is paid off. Jus sayn!

So, I see...you only edit MY posts when I include 4 letter words. Well...the word I used was actually 5 letters, and is just what you call a female dog...maybe that was my mistake and I should have used a 4 letter word instead.
