Oil is at $78.49 as I post this.

This is what will bolster the economy, eventually.


Come on.....$50 !

It's great until OPEC meets in the next week or so. They're on-record yesterday, saying they'd like to see it at around $100.

OPEC cant afford to hurt the world economy. If they raise it, it'll be short lived. Demand will fall even more and they will suffer even more.

This is oil, not refined gasoline. You have to look up the gas price per gallon on the market.

I just about did that this summer. I went through over half of the US anyway. I started adding up my gas receipts this morning and had to stop before I made myself sick.

It was still $3.29 here in Shreveport last nite. I was down to 1/4 tank, but still decided to wait another day to fill up. I think I'll just buy $20 today and see where it is tomorrow.

I was watching robin meade this morning and their "Financial Advisor" was saying that when the gas prices are higher the gas compainies dont sell as much gas. So when the cost of oil per barrel drops the price of gas drops EXTRA EXTRA slow so the gas compaines can make up the differance in sales, if they dropped it to match the oil per barrel prices right away then they wouldnt make a profit. Dont slay me for this, its what they were saying on CNN.

It sure is funny how when oil prices increase, the gas prices at the pump increase within hours, though.

I was listening to a talk show on the way home from Hubbard a while ago and they said OPEC was meeting to decide if they should slow production. Prices were falling to fast and they do not like oil to go below $100 a barrel. Unbelieveable....

Heard it was 2.78 on the Ft. Worth side some places. Still 3.39 here. Amazing 60 miles 60 cent more. guess it is a penny a mile per gal.

Was 2.74 yesterday morn in White Settlement during a little gas war. Right now it's back to 2.89. Of course you'll burn up a 1/4 tank of gas waiting in line to fill up.

Paid $3.29 again on Friday for Texaco. Lowest I've seen in Shreveport is 3.18, but that was at Racetrack and I wont put that carp in my Jeep.

Right in the middle of the oil fields of west Texas, gasoline was 3.29 as of last night.

Remember, ladies and gents....Texas main economy is OIL and GAS. you may want to think about cheerleading with the rest of the Yankees about the total tanking of the OIL and GAS economy....Seems as if you are crapping in your own nest.

Wasn't it just a year ago when OPEC said they didn't want gas prices to reach $100?! They must be hanging out with US politicians and learning how to double-speak.

OPEC most likely have already played a part at wrecking the world economy with inflated energy costs. I think their greed hasn't played a part in world financial troubles. Maybe they're afraid they may have at least hurt the goose that laid the golden egg.

Come on.....$50 !



If the price of oil goes that low, exploration and development in the US will be cut and we will once again increase imports from our friends in the Mid East. Oil price needs to stay right where it's at today.

We maybe should be little bit careful what we wish for. Lower oil (and gas) prices are dandy down to a certain point, but the falling economy that is fueling these falling oil prices is bound to cost a whole lot of people their jobs or at least a substantial loss of income. I for one, wouldn't be too happy with $2.00 gas if I still couldn't afford to go fishing because I was trying to live on unemployment. I'm fearful that if something doesn't happen to prevent the stock market from plunging like it has been, cheap gas probably wouldn't seem nearly so inviting.

Exactly! I was going to retire on 12-1-2008, but now I'm going to work a little longer to see what is going to happen. I have a job, and would hate to retire have to try and find another if things don't improve.
