You have to like the gasoline prices right now, or you are crazy

[suddenseer]

$1.90 a gallon here. I love it while it lasts.

[NQ6U]

The two are not mutually exclusive. That is, you can like gasoline prices and still be crazy. At least that's what the voices tell me.

[suddenseer]

Should I say it? you might be....

It'll last until we boot ISIS from certain oil producing states/cities in the middle east. Oils is so low because ISIS is dumping it on the open market at dirt cheap prices. Once we move them out then it'll be back to business as usual.

Low prices are nice until you realize the TRUE cost being paid by the victims of ISIS rule

That's a gross oversimplification, Brian. There are many factors involved in the current low oil prices. Among other things, the fact that the United States is now a net exporter of oil because of the fracking technology that US oil companies developed has made a significant difference.

You're right about Americans not being aware of the true cost of oil, but it's more than just ISIS.

[W5BRM]

Yes we EXPORT but we still IMPORT more than we export. Some of what we import comes through middle eastern channels and thats where ISIS is dumping oil. If we were 100% reliant on domestic oil, I'd be jumping for joy! But we're not so im not so optimistic

[W2NAP]

until its under $1 per gallon I won't be impressed.

The US imports relatively little oil from the middle east. We still get some from Saudi Arabia but most of it comes from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria.

I've set my monthly budget at $3.5/gal. Anything else is a bonus, IMO...

Why isn't FOX "News" blaming Obama for this like they did when prices were high?

[kb2vxa]

Because Rupert Retard and his extreme right opinion controlled minions can't blame something good on him, but they can sing pretty good.

We are down to $1.01.9 a liter......some places in the country are below the psychological level of 1 Canadian dollar a liter..... haven't seen it down there for quite a while...... and I'm loving it.....:clap:

[PA5COR]

€ 1.44.7 last week when I tanked, per liter.
But then lots of tax on that price, Socialism!!!! ;)

That works out to be about $3.86 US/gallon. Regular unleaded is under $3 US/gallon even here in SoCal, which typically has relatively high gasoline prices.

[K7SGJ]

I just paid 2.79 last week. It shouldn't be long now before we get back to .29.9/gal.

[NQ6U]

I can get it for $2.49 here, so it's only a matter of time. As in, only a matter of building a time machine to take us back to 1972.

For you furriners, that works out to CAN $0.655/liter or €0.543/liter.

[suddenseer]

$1.79/gal in Dayton this morning.

[WØTKX]

$1.63 at a northern Denver suburb Costco today.

Good thing too, I've been driving my gas-pig AWD drive van due to the conditions.

[WØTKX]

Well, I sure used to prefer two wheels. The Integra and the Miatas all get 34+ MPG.

The Previa AWD van gets 18-22 depending how much I kick in the supercharger.

Hiberling, here we come!

$2.53 in Stockton last week. See what happens when I get some this Saturday, with the supposed increase in prices due to the new California regulation that took effect this morning....

http://abc7.com/business/california-gas-prices-going-up-jan-1/456296/

Might not even notice if it went down 10 cents this past week. I only tend to hit the pump to fill back up on the weekends.

Let us know when gas hits 0.441 euro per litre.

[WX7P]

2.23 here today

[K7SGJ]

Kind of odd how diesel hasn't gone down proportionately.

[PA5COR]

Won't happen fixed amount of tax on a liter is already higher as that.
Add VAT and you are already higher as that.

$1.69-$177 Dayton

[wa6mhz]

here In Kalifornia, the rat bastards are raising the price 10-50cents a gallon with an added tax, just cuz they want to!

[WØTKX]

Psssst! Hey Buddy! Ya wanna buy a free newspaper? :evil: :stickpoke:

[n2ize]

Round here gas prices are still over 3 bucks a gallon.

[VE7DCW]

Nice to see in my little part of the world gas has now gone down past the psychological level of 1 dollar a liter..... 99.9 cents a liter. Not much below, but we may be surprised yet. :-D

[W7XF]

1.959 down the street yesterday

[N8XE]

Damnit!! It was at $2.09 this morning when I filled up.

Is it time to blame Obama yet?

Jason N8XE

[K0RGR]

This time next month we'll be on the road somewhere, so I am hoping the cheap gas sticks around that long. My guess is that the U.S. oil producers will all throw in the towel, and gas will go back up to $5 by then. But I hope I'm wrong.

[PA5COR]

Depends, if the oil producers in the Arab peninsula keep pumping and the economy keeps retracting here there will still be too much produced.
Winter? we don't have it here, temps should be 2 - 3 C max now or freezing, now it;'s 9 C to tomorrow 12 -14 C....

[W7XF]

Cor....how much have gas prices dropped over there in the EU?

Hey Gerry, are there a lot of diesel passenger vehicles in Canada, or are you guys pretty much gasoline bound like the US?

[KG4CGC]

1.76

[VE7DCW]

Eddie we have a lot of people with diesel cars and pickup trucks on the streets but the diesel prices have maintained their levels while the gas prices have fallen.....interesting to see the airlines seem to have delayed removing their fuel surcharges in hopes of making a little bit of money....:irked:

[PA5COR]

Depends per country, but most have high fixed taxes on fuel here, so that a oil price drop is just making a few 10 cents of difference.
I paid in the hayday € 1.74 for a liter petrol now €1.44, so just a drop of 30 euro cents a liter.
Germany isn't much better though they have a bit lower taxes to start with.
UK now around or just above a pound per liter.( €1,30 )
Diesel here is cheaper as petrol, around the € 1.30 now.
Looking at that the USA has seen the largest drop in price at the pumps.



Cor....how much have gas prices dropped over there in the EU?

[HUGH]

UK 112p (1.12 pounds) per litre and falling. It's almost reached the point where the fuel is free and the rest is all tax. We are informed that all foreign exporters, including Saudi, are losing money. They've relied so much on oil revenue for their lifestyles and government spending that, unless the price goes up soon, they will postpone exporting until that time.

That implies a price rise. I'm tempted to buy a 2000 litre HDPE tank to keep diesel.

[KB3LAZ]

1.24€/liter here. Over the summer it was about 1.45€/liter.

[PA5COR]

The saudi's can still make a profit at 20 dollars an barrel.
heir own words though, they want domination back on the selling field, I expect the prices to keep diving and stay there for some time to come.
Long enough to make fracking and tar sand oil much too expensive to produce, and kill off some other exporters as well.

[WX7P]

Paid $1.91 gallon yesterday.

Heh heh heh

[KG4CGC]

Some people are really dumbasses. Large SUV/4wd Truck sales are way up around here. The price of gas will go back up.

[W7XF]

By the time prices go back up my SUV will be paid off. Trade bait for something smaller?

[W7XF]

But the sabres are rattling in the group of baboons...possible fuel tax increase?? Granted, it's been a number of years since the last increase, but the baboons keep putting the fuel tax proceeds into the general fund, not the highway trust fund. That's why our infrastructure is crumbling, and the FHWA is crying that there is no money to fix the roads.

I guess I don'tunderstand the government complaining about low gas prices. It seems to me that more gasis being sold, tax is based on volume sold and not price per gallon,hence more fuel sold means more tax revenue.

I think the government sees that people have a few more bucks left in theirpaycheck with these lower gas prices, and the bastids want it. That way peopleare kept in their place and can't improve their lifestyle or increase theirsavings. I guess when people start to get a little bit ahead financially,assholes like the Koch brothers start to get nervous. Fuckers................

That's why I bought mine (used) when the gas prices were high. It was a lot cheaper than it would be now. The Suburban is extremely useful, and I only drive it when I need it, which lately has been quite a bit.

Same here with the PU. It has a 5.7L that gets around 16-18MPG. We need it because we do a lot of hauling of feed and building materials since the stores are quite a ways from us. We also need it to tow the 20' trailer with the forklift or tractor on it. I doubt we could do that with a Prius. We really don't go out much, but when we do, we try to consolidate the trip and make as many stops as we can. I don't care how cheap gas gets, I hate driving in town with all the maroons on the road.

When you have a utility vehicle because you need it, that's one thing. When you get the biggest 4WD and deck it out with rims and low profile tires and use it to drive yourself to work and the grocery store, well, that's just overcompensating.

[VE7DCW]

We dropped to 98.9 cents a liter the other day......it's still looking that the price will drop lower.....let her go! :clap:

Extreme mall crawlin'.

[K7SGJ]

Out here, there are all kinds of places to go four-wheeling; all over the state. What I find interesting, is that there are a metric shit ton of tricked out four wheel drive trucks around, and damn few have so much as a scratch them. Most have probably never been in 4WD. These, by the way, are the assholes that park sideways in parking lots and take up half a dozen or more parking spots. It's obvious they have never been off road. The paint in the trailer receivers is not even scratched, so it's obvious a hitch has never been in place to tow anything. Some of these rigs have to have cost some severe megabucks. I just don't get it. I'm all for a nice ride, but why invest all that $$ on features that will never be used? I suppose for the same reason some people have a 6 BR, 5 bath house, and only two people live in it. Or own a 30 foot boat that sits on the side of the house dry rotting in the desert sun. I guess some people have more dollars than sense.

[KK4AMI]

There are tons of reasons to own a big SUV or pick-up. I have a Dodge 1500 with 4WD because I prefer to keep smelly hunting dogs in the back. A load of beagles after a full days hunt can steam up a cab in so many ways! :roll: I also like to pull my little fishing boat out of the water without getting stuck on the wet muddy ramp. I can pick up a water heater, stove or washing machine from Lowes without scheduling a delivery and a day off of work (guess not now, but they could show up during my nap :mrgreen:) My wife also needs a sure ride to the hospital in snowy weather. Cross over SUVs with 6 inch ground clearance suck in 12 inches of snow that hasn't been plowed yet at 0530! I also find stepping up and sitting up to be more comfortable on long trips. My brother-n-law and Sister-n-law have a Suburban because they have 3 boys all over 6 ft 3 inches tall. They also go to OBX yearly. I've never seen as many SUVs as the wagon train that heads to the Outer Banks every weekend of the summer.
