Tanking Gas Prices

Gas prices tank to lows not seen in 6 years. How low will it go? With the economy in such a decline we may see $1.50 gas. Wouldn't it be nice to store it away in a large tank somewhere for when it goes back up? The only problem is you can't. This is the reason why the gas prices are so low in the first place. The oil companies have to get rid of it before it starts going bad. Even though fuel lasts a lot longer than it used to in the old days it has a shelf life. The price lowers when the demand is less than the supply. If only people were smart enough to realize this many months ago we would not be in the mess we are now. When gas hit $3 a gallon everyone should of stopped driving all at once. But they didn't and it went over $4 a gallon. The only way to drop the price is to shock the market. This is what caused the deep spikes. It is not so much the decline in use because oil companies can slowly adjust the refinery output to keep prices up just as they are trying to do now. But the demand keeps going down more than they are reducing the output. If all of a sudden people start driving a lot again it will spike up even higher because they cut back production so much. So folks keep the car in the garage. You will save your brakes, tires and your car will last longer. I think the people finnally got smart and are still not driving even with the low prices. I am sure with all the money the oil companies made they can suffer some losses for a few years. Maybe it will push them to invest into other types of energy businesses.
