Politics aside, the price for a barrel of crude has dropped to $84.00, due to a spike in production by the OPEC cats and all of those little countries that use oil to finance their governments.

The petroleum producers are also starting their winter blend fuel production, which is cheaper to make.
Now, if we could get the Feds and the states to ease up on those excise taxes.
