Gas Prices

[Barney Stinson]

Remember like, months ago when I said "don't worry, gas prices are going to plummet soon", and you all laughed and said I had no idea what I was talking about?

Eat a dick bitches, gas (around here, at least) is 1.99$ a gallon. I looked for the thread on it, but I couldn't find it.

No shit it went down.. Wait till next summer... I call 2 bucks a liter.

 

[Barney Stinson]

Hey, I'm just saying, a few months ago you all said I was retarded and an idiot and that I didn't know anything if I didn't think gas prices were going to continue to raise. They didn't. They fell. Fast.

Very, very fast.

 

[Renzokuken]

Petrol prices have dropped here too.

I don't remember you ever saying that.

I really, really, really wish I could find said thread. It wasn't just "well it might drop or it might raise". Just about every member in the thread was saying that it wasn't going to lower anytime soon, and it would just raise. I was saying that it was going to drop, almost exponentially in a matter of MONTHS. There's a huge difference in what you're saying and what I'm saying.

 

[Ashigaru]

Just about every member in the thread was saying that it wasn't going to lower anytime soon, and it would just raise.

And they were right. It went up to $4 a gallon here a few months ago.

You'd make a good blizzard employee if your definition of soon is months later.

 

[Barney Stinson]

In the overall scheme of our economy and how gas prices worked, my "soon" was rather accurate. The prices went from about 2.40 a gallon when i was 18 to ~4$ a gallon a few months back. Then, in a matter of 2 or 3 months, the prices dropped over 50%.

But, whatever.

 

[Ashigaru]

Well you can keep calling it a prediction but we know you were just making a guess.

I suppose you are now going to add economist to your long list of occupations.

 

[Barney Stinson]

No, because I'm not one. However, the "long list of occupations" is, essentially true. Except the whole "legal genius" or whatever LB keeps saying. That's my uncle. But, again, I never actually said I was one or said I knew much about it, I just knew about the specific circumstances because I asked him.

 

[Johnny]

Cheapest I've seen around here is about $2.15, in socal.

 

[Gimmi]

WOW MIKE GROUNDBREAKING SHIT U MUST BE AN ECONOMIST OR SOMETING

 

[Teddy]

it is one of the few things he has ever been right about, give him his moment.

 

[Barney Stinson]

IF by "one of the few things" you mean "one of the few things in this thread" then yes.

You'll find that alot of what I say is right and has more truth and merit behind it than about 95% of the people here, regardless of how far-fetched it may seem.
