Default ... Plymouth State Potholes...go team go!

About 1.94/gal at the Irving and Citgo close to Route 93-Exit 25 which is a super-duper low price.....very close to Plymouth State University.....hurray for low gas prices....what a welcome surprise!

And, with all the crumbling state roads here in NH, it's about time the legislature actually acted responsible and did something about it. I propose the legislature pass a law to rename the Plymouth State Panthers, the mascot for the Plymouth State University various athletic teams like hockey, football, and basketball and change it to Plymouth State Potholes.....a name to remember....and very appropriate for New Hampshire.....the Plymouth State Potholes......go team go!

What the heck.....will cost a lot less to just rename the sports teams than to get responsible and repave the roads....somewhat similar to posting a "frost heave" sign as opposed to fixing the problem.

Did you know that up in Burlington, Vermont, there's a basketball team named the Vermont Frost Heaves .....so's a NH Potholes team would be a natural....so's maybe you want to email your state rep....and suggest this solution for all the crumbling unnumbered state roads....around these here parts..... like the Meredith Neck Rd.

The low price of gas will just make it cheaper for all of us to drive to the poor house. Oil is causing havoc in the stock market!!!!

Remember the 1987 Dow crash, it was foreshadowed by a tumble in oil price that ensued in the wake of disputes within OPEC - which had come to a head in the previous year.

You have this right , prices have fallen to the point it is costing a good number of jobs and causing our drilling to come to a standstill . Our oil independence is being setback years by this cheap oil opportunity

Obama thinking he can curtail the job loss by having everyone buy a new and more efficient car as gas prices will go back up! Can you imagine the amount of gas you need to burn to come up with the average price of a vehicle which is $30,000?

Clearly did not think this one out!

Sure if you drive 1000 miles a day at 10 miles per gallon that's 100 gallons per day saving $1.00 per gallon or 100 $/day so in 300 days you have saved enough to buy a new car!

Oil price goes up, stock market goes with it.

Did you see GM is raising the dividend , a lot ! Also the line employees made an average of 9 k from the new replacement profit shareing .
Did you see Ford is hiring another 1500 employees to make the new f series trucks that stay on lots an average of 16 days rather then the historic 90
Did you see the higher priced ( 30k ) vehicles are selling at new historic levels .
Seems a lot of these policies have come together and are showing great results.

O what the heck.....with gas below two-bucks.....think I'll run down to Irwin's and pick up a new 2015 f-150 Raptor for something like 50k-dollars.....or no....maybe I'm better off with a 1999 Ford Contour with 110k-miles from craigslist with an asking price of $500....what's the better everyday driver?

...so many car models.....so many prices....all have one thing in common...a car will not go without gas?.....and Exxon has fallen from something like 100 down to 90-share.....makes me feel so bad for all the exxon share holders....boo-hoo
