99.9% of the population loves cheap gas Until cheap gas upends the entire economy. Then, about 25% of the population will be out of work. A gallon or two will last those poor souls a week.

Ok, 25% is ridiculous. 5%-10% sudden unemployment would crush our economy in the US and much of the world. Energy is down 32% in the last week. Any idea how many billions that sucks out of 2020-21 Capex budgets? Low gas prices are great. For a month or so. Then the macro picture begins to come into focus.

I bet as more electric vehicles hit the road, we'll see gas drop to $1.25 and maybe eventually below $1.

I bet as more electric vehicles hit the road, we'll see gas drop to $1.25 and maybe eventually below $1. When I was a kid growing up many many years ago gas was .79 a gallon. When I first got my driver's license gas was below a dollar a gallon and during the good old days when there was a "Gas War" the prices were around .60 to .70 a gallon!

The first time I bought gas it was for a push lawn mower.
My first job.
36 cents a gallon.
A few years later I was old enough to drive and gas was $1.18 a gallon.
Point is it can drop like a rock and go up like a rocket.
And it does. And it will.

Luke 6:22-23
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you, insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. Take note—your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

worked at a DX station in high school, only station on a busy corner, gas probably avgd 25c a gallon, I could fill up my 62 falcon for less than 5$ and that lil 170 2 speed would sip on it for a week or better. think the tank held 12-15 gal.
we did full service back then, oil, air, windshield and GREENSTAMPS! the good ole days.

Gas is cheap now of day. Factor in that cars get almost 3 times the mpg gas is about 40 cents a gallon compared to when I was buying gas for my first car back in the early 80's. We paid $1.00 per gallon but our cars like my Monte Carlo got around 10 mpg.
