    Default Falling fuel prices

    I refueled my car the other day.



    Though I admit I used 20 cents in discount points.

    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. 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...

    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.

    I filled my truck on Sunday for 1.59, but that was at a new station that just opened, most others are at 1.78 here in my area.

    $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.

    Bob,
    You are getting RIPPED OFF. Propane is $1.38 here in No. Nevada. Its a byproduct of petroleum refining and used to be "flaired" off years ago.( and still is in some places.
