In Denton Close to where I live, fuel prices have jumped .20 cents or more. I guess they are going back up now?

I can understand them going back up. I just hope they don't rip our heads off.

Same in Lewisville. $1.68 going to work. $1.89 on my way home. Ticks me off. Luckily Walmart was still at $1.67 so I filled up. I was almost empty anyways...

Honestly $40/barrel oil hurts more of my friends and family than helps my pocketbook. Jmho

State of the union address causes these things every time. He mentioned getting money and support to send troops after Isis. That's all it took for speculation to jump gas prices. He even mentioned how the gas prices have saved each person around $740 this year. That was "the setup" for the military action part. "Grease the part ....then yank!"

Haven't gone up around here. Around $1.70 on the way to work this morning.

I know that it's a big part of our economy and for many people it's their livelihood but when gas was at $3-4 a gallon I don't remember anyone making one post on this forum saying "gas sure is high but at least my buddy is doing good!"
What I remember is everyone complaining about not having as much money in their family budget, being able to fish as much, make as long a run during pre fishing or fishing trails closer to home and on and on...
I think I'll just enjoy the feeling I get when I pull up to the pump and what it's putting back into my pocket and ultimately the overall economy and be grateful.

Doesnt matter if gas is $3 a gallon, US oil makes no money until its $80ish a barrel, and they will not run until oil prices hit that. It costs America roughly 2x to produce a barrel of oil as it does for Saudi Arabia. Source: I have a friend who works for Exxon Mobile

I'm okay with paying 1.60 a gallon all day every day.

I've never said that I won't buy that fish finder on sale or not order off of the dollar menu because I want someone to make more money. Every time that I leave the pump I am grateful for saving money for my family. I have never heard anyone in the oil business say that they needed to cut their prices to help me out. We all know that this is a short time play to put a few companies out of business and then the prices will be back up even higher than before to make up their losses.

No doubt. I will defiantly be taking more trips away from the normal home range if prices stay where they are.
I hate photobucket.
