MetalMilitia It you take the cost of a gallon of Diesel here and convert it to USD it comes to: 7.21USD.

Even though gas prices are dipping wayyy low, Upstate is still more expensive than most of the country. It's $1.97 where I am right now, $2.09-$2.15 where I am during the week. My father was in Texas, and he says it's $1.50 a gallon there.

I still think it's important to find alternatives, because I'm not confident this will last long.

Colonel Flagg I cheated - I own a Saturn SL-1. The car with the thimble-sized tank.

Dimnos Wow! Less than $20. I could probably do that if gas drops below $1/gal.

That's nothing. I filled up my tank on less than $20! First time in over a year.

All good things will come to an end, however....

Damn Dirty Hippopotamus It's too bad lifting the ban on offshore drilling wouldn't matter too much, as most of the oil that is being drilled right now is already purchased and accounted for over the many years to come.

kahljorn gas is 191 a gallon at chevron here

as for why it's so low, maybe it is for the christmas season -- I didn't really consider that ;o
and because of the arabs

Oh, wow. Yeah, that's a typo. I meant $2.68. I haven't gotten much sleep lately and work right now is draining me.

10,000 Volt Ghost My main reasoning behind it is:

Bush's friends realized his final term was up about a year ago, jacked up the prices so they can squeeze as much out as possible. Now that he won't be president much longer they realized someone else won't stand for it.

My city has the highest gas prices in the country for some reason and I don't like it one bit.

Thank you.

I love Black. He's one of my favorites on Comedy Central.

george about time someone did something to force those canadian bastards to institute Total Quality Management and produce oil for less.
Nov 19th, 2008 11:54 PM
Evil Robot OPEC wants to keep the price of oil just low enough that it isn't profitable for the US to produce it's own energy. It costs around $90 per barrel to squeeze oil out of shale so as long as oil costs just less then that, arabs will get the money and not the Canadians.

george cause the banks are not loaning tons of cash to asshole oil speculators who drove up the cost of oil, plus if the oil industry murders the retail industry in the two months that the retailers actually make a profit there will be no golden goose to kick around next year cause hardly anyone will have any particular place to go.
