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

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

    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.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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.

    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

    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.
