We're saving $1B a day on gas BY BRENT SNAVELY • FREE PRESS BUSINESS WRITER • December 27, 2008 Americans are paying $1 billion less per day for gasoline now compared with mid-July, when the national average price was more than $4 per gallon, an energy analyst says. In Michigan, the average price of gas Friday was $1.62 a gallon. Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for Oil Price Information Service, estimates that Americans were paying about $1.61 billion per day for gas on July 11, when the national average price was $4.11 per gallon. On Friday, with Americans buying about 372.4 million gallons of gas per day, Kloza estimated that the country would spend about $611.5 million. The low gas prices are a reprieve for the estimated 2 million Michigan residents who AAA estimates will travel 50 miles or more from home during the holidays. Still, Kloza said the relief for individuals is not enough to provide a broader boost for the economy, stalled by frozen credit and low confidence. Next year, oil and gas prices will remain low, at least until peak driving season returns in spring, Kloza said. freep.com

Absolutely. Nobody who has paid attention over the last few decades can suggest that Israel is seeking anything other than peace. It has consistently been the other side which has been unreasonable and aggressive. How anyone, liberal or conservative, could have missed this, I really don't know.

Eric, > As soon as they stop lobbing rockets and sit down and talk like adults. That'll never happen. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran all want Israel wiped off the map. How do you "talk like adults" when that's the starting point for "negotiation"? Just like clockwork, Hamas lobs a bunch of rockets into Israel and kills one person, maybe. Israel strikes back and kills 200. Hamas can then go to the world and say, "Poor us, look at evil Israel, taking 200 eyes for an eye." And fools like Ted, Bentway, and Harry will swallow it. Every. Single. Time. Tenchusatsu
