I pass at least 1 gas station everyday, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell me that gas prices have been dropping for the last 2 weeks, if you want to impress me, tell me what the gas price is going to be in 2 weeks from now. Predicting that isn’t that hard either, look at the gasoline futures on the nymex, and add between 50 cents to a buck depending on your market, and you’ll have a pretty good estimate of what your pump prices are going to be next month.
I guess I am just a bit annoyed at the lead news stories for every media outlet was this great discovery that gas prices have gone down in the last couple of week, like they always have (except for last year).
I think the only easier job, would be forecasting yesterdays weather..
