buck 81
« on: January 13, 2015, 04:16:13 AM »
$ 1.81 a gallon at the pump/Quick Trip - 7th St and Butler.

How long, I can't remember, someone said 6 or 7 yrs, it feels more like 16-20yrs to me. In the '90's I could drive a Bronco 351/5.8 V8 ,1000 miles, Denver to Phx, much cheaper than a plane flight.

There is an old station that closed that I drive by regularly. It's prices sign is left and it's fenced off, the sign reads $1.89 for 89octante...I thought we'd never see that again.

Drill baby drill!

Drilling here is slowing down. No new wells are being built. The plummeting price of oil and natural gas is making the process unprofitable in the US.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Still over 2.40 here in Pa, thanks to some infrastructure taxes put on gas that were just passed this year

Oh well.....guess it's better than our bridges falling down (and in all honesty it seems like they are doing a lot of work on our infrastructure ATM. )

  It has been speculated that middle east suppliers would drop price to make fracking too expensive then jack up the price when those companies dissolved.   :noid

Petroleum atm is slowing some in production with S America and M East continuing to produce, as they have few other commodities worth as much export wise...Natural gas, price holding strong, energy co.'s involved in both, doing just fine.

Filled up my Jeep yesterday for $1.79 and got it full for under $30 for the first time ever. Used to cost over $60 to put a full tank from empty.

Of course today the price dropped again just cause I filled up last night  :noid

Still $1.569/gallon when I filled my Corolla this morning.  $16 and change for a full tank of gas.  4Runner was under $30 for the full tank.
