It is not necessarily a good thing. There is an oil glut and oil prices are rumored to bottom out around 18-20 dollars a barrel. That was before Iran today announced they will boost production .

The oil companies had no symphony for us consumers when the price of a gallon of regular was north of $4.50 /gallon.:shocked: The price will swing back sooner than need be, you can count on that.

When bottled water was more than the cost of gasoline, $.48 / gallon, I knew it would not last, and it didn't.

Gas prices have been holding here at $2.33 per gallon for the last month or so.

I guess the monopoly wants to hold on to their money as the price per barrel continues to decrease. Now under $29.00 per barrel. When the price per barrel goes UP, the price is raised within an hour or so.

I saw that on the news today... :bowdown:

Here: it's at $2.16 for regular, and 93 octane is still at $3.00.

I'm not complaining: it now costs less to fill up the RAV4; than I used to spend on re-fueling the Spyder!

I paid $1.94 at the Gulf station near my home.

In the recent past, the cost of oil has been driven up by the big scare factor.
Now that the US has become energy independent again the scare factor has gone away and the cost of oil is more close to the true production value.

Inexpensive gas is a good thing. The cost of everything that is transported is less.

$1.75 in Galax VA yesterday. I'm getting killed with my oil stock but I'll suck it up. While we are all saving a few $$$$ each time we gas up consider what is going on for the workers in the oil fields that are getting laid off. Also think about the fact that OPEC is crashing the price in order to kill our oil industry. Just about the time when the US is able to produce enough oil and we can do without the Middle East the people that want to kill us are destroying our companies to get us back under control. Rant Over.

That's why I think they aren't cutting production. We should use their oil & keep ours in the ground. Then when the ME runs out we'll still have ours available!

In 1966, the Senate adopted legislation to raise the nation's minimum wage. The amendment paved the way for a new rate of $1.40 an hour and expanded the wage to reach State and local government workers at public schools and nursing homes, as well as the construction industry.

$1.44 for a gal of regular here today.. while I enjoy the prices of gas today... I am real apprehensive what the long term of rock bottom prices for gas will turn out to be.. what's the ole saying "" be careful what you wish for"" oil producers in the Dakotas are dropping like flies... when they go out of business.. the ban on the U.S. exporting fuel has been lifted......a war in the middle east would dry up the oil glut - pronto.. if the oil glut disappears ... LOOK OUT and BEND OVER !

That is the same as $2.18 today. Today's gasoline is near record all time lows.
When you factor in that gas mileage is now around 30 mpg vs about 16 mpg back in 1965 the net cost for gas is about $1.10 today. Factoring for inflation that is about the 15 cents in 1966 dollars, or about half. So in the end we are paying about 1/2 as much for gasoline today as we did in 1966! :clap:At any price below about $4.00 per gallon we are spending less for gas today than we did 50 years ago.

My theory. It's all a well executed plan. Make crude prices so low that the US producer's go under. Lift sanctions to unscrupulous nations that will put the final nail in US being self sufficient. Result. Oh douche, cough bag, cripples this country beyond repair.

The low prices are nice, but the big picture seems bad for many people. This does not include other industries that support the oil industry.

At some point maybe the power to be need to bring it all back to the US and actually fix what is broken. There are no doubts ways but no guts to do it.

Consider how much it will hurt for the 6 months to spool up the fuel industry if the price of gasoline rockets towards $5.00/ gallon. Everything is effected, local travel, far travel, package / food deliveries, it can be ugly fast. No doubt cutting into other hobbies including motorcycle sales and use.

http://cleantechnica.com/2015/11/30/oil-gas-companies-have-laid-off-more-than-250000-workers-more-layoffs-likely-to-come/

the really big picture is if oil prices stay this low it will crush the russian economy & perhaps get putin removed......permanently.
