Gasoline Prices Falling??? Could be close to $2.00 by Thanksgiving … Just in Time For Midterm Elections

Then suddenly from out of nowhere gasoline prices have fallen. I actually almost got into an Gas pricesaccident when I spotted a sign with gas prices at $2.65. Its is true, gasoline prices are falling fast and could keep dropping for months.

“The only place they have to go is down,” says Fred Rozell, gasoline analyst at the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS). “We’ll be closer to $2 than $3 come Thanksgiving.”

Travel organization AAA foresees prices 10 cents a gallon lower by the end of next week. It reported a nationwide average of $2.84 Tuesday, the lowest since April 20.

ATA: Come to Aruba … Sandy White Beaches … Forget About that Valero Oil spill

Aruba is constantly praised by the Aruban Tourism officials for its sandy white beaches and beautiful seas. Well it would appear that Valero just put a chink in that armor. Yet one more cause to worry for potential tourism losses.

 A broken pipe at the Valero oil refinery on Aruba caused undetermined amounts of oil to leak out into the ocean and eventually wash ashore. If the below picture is any idea as to how Aruba dealt with any kind of oil spill, one can only wonder the contamination and affect this spill had on the beaches, sand, water, vegetation and wild life. It continues to astound us, and it should not, how absolutely apathetic Aruba deals with serious issues. It is not an optical illusion in the picture below, oil is in the water and on the beach and they are dealing with it with shovels. Note to Aruba and Holland … please do not ever consider putting a nuclear reactor on Aruba.

Valero oil spill

Due to a broken pipe of oil-refinery Valero yesterday afternoon, a yet to be determined amount of oil leaked out into the sea.  The pipe had a length of 40 meters and was temporarily not in operation.  With the fast actions of four towboats with sprayers, a helicopter and other material, the biggest part of the oil could be prevented from washing ashore. 

Is that a “yet to be determined amount of oil” or a we are not going to report the amount of Valero arubaoil that was dumped into the ocean and then washed ashore?

At first, the oil-slick was moving towards the open sea, but it still reached the coast through an opening in the reef at Commandeurs Bay and caused the oil to wash ashore on the beach of Santa Largo.   Nobody knows when the oil started to leak out, but Valero received a call around 11:30 that oil was flooding the sea. 

Please tell us that an oil spill did not occur on Aruba and only 15 workers showed up with shovels and wheel barrows to deal with this incident. Please tell us that you do realize that there is more to an oil spill than just what you see in front of your nose.  Aruba has heard of ground and sand contamination? Where are the front end loaders? Where are the dump trucks? Exactly how are you removing the sand contaminated by the oil?
