Oil takes a beating on lousy jobs report, $2.99 in SC!

GasBuddy Blog -- You might hear it on the evening news tonight. You might already be watching it on your computer. The price of crude oil took a beating today after a worse-than-expected jobs report showed far fewer jobs added to the economy than was expected. Couple that with more people leaving the work force, and its a recipe for disaster.

Oil prices are closing out the week at their lowest levels in months, and motorists all over the country will soon be enjoying falling gasoline prices, if they haven't been already. Even previous problems on the West Coast don't have much weight compared to a significant outlook on the economy like a jobs report.

Lower fuel prices needed to help stimulate the economy! Fuel prices are very slightly dropping at the pump due to the Cherry Point refinery (WA) being back in operation! So much for 'coming out of the closet' Barry's huge disastrous economic recovery, lack of adequate jobs and people will still vote for him! It's Unbelievable and Amazing how these people are led around!
Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible!
The price of fuel at the pump is too high!

I sure hope the blood letting on the stock market doesn't continue today and this week. A lot of people's retirement funds are going up in smoke along with a worse economy!
