WaaaHoooo !!
Just filled my old Durango. 22.684 gallons for only $40.35 !
$1.77 9/10 per gallon.
Long time since it had been that cheap and I hope it stays at least that low for a looong time!
The ol'lady got this Tucson. It only holds about $20.
I made a trip last week and saw gas for $1.50. Been a long time since I saw it that cheap.

Gee Ivan,
you were talking about Buying one of those Toyota pickup motor homes... you had the big blue Chevy with a camper last year down in Arizona... and now you speak of filling your Durango?
you own a used car lot?, or just like to drive something different here and there...
Hey, I'm thrilled gas is down to a $1.85 here....
I'm not in Texas where they are pumping it at $1.50...
it keeps dropping... and consider a gallon of gas here has like 60 cents a gallon state and Federal tax on it...
Saw diesel at $1.56 in Gonzales yesterday.
In the 1.50's in some parts of Wyoming , still 1.95 in Buffalo........WTH
It had gone back up into the 1.90's for a while but now is back down to mid 1.70's. Walmart has diesel for 2.01 this morning but I'd rather pay a couple cents more elsewhere. Their station is set up so you have to go through the middle of their busy parking lot to get out. I hate that in my big pickup.
$2.20 around here.
I heard here on the campfire that low fuel prices are really really bad for the economy.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Couple of days ago I filled my diesel Dodge truck for less than 50.00, 28+ gallons. Almost fun.
$1.47 BUT I would trade back up to higher gas prices for a higher Dow and 401.
$1.47 BUT I would trade back up to higher gas prices for a higher Dow and 401.
i agree
Just got back from the local Sam's - filled up for $1.339/gal; diesel was $1.489/gal. I don't think it has been that low around here since before Katrina.
$1.47 BUT I would trade back up to higher gas prices for a higher Dow and 401.
All day long. I (unrealized losses ) losses more in my retirement that many years of higher gas prices. . . . and we dont really want gas this cheap. Here is my case. The higher crude goes , the lower it goes in a few year. Been this way for 40 years. Because so many smaller companies will go under, it leaves room to jack prices up very fast from no competition. In 2 or 3 yrs we may very well see 4 bucks a gallon again. What good does that do? Then the oil fields try catching up and can't in time to keep prices down. Then the economy slows down. We need a balance, like a bottom price for American crude . I would be happy with 50 bucks a barrel . Gas would be 2.50 per gallon . Not bad at all. We should all be happy then. I saw 1.47 at Costco and 1.57 everywhere else.
Where not you guys saying let the market set the price when gas was $3 plus a gallon.
1.80's for the middle grade here.
We need a balance, like a bottom price for American crude .
I agree, might as well also set a bottom for beef and grain.
Few years ago people bitched because farmers were cleaning up on high prices. The wheat market went south so fast that dealers are actually taking equipment back. Break even prices at best.
We only burn about 40 gallons of gas a week in a little 90 hp tractor, $2.30 for the 91 proof non-ethanol.
Just a way to move more wealth to the top quicker. Run the smaller guys out...
It's what our economy and gov't are all about.
WaaaHoooo !!

Actually the old Chevy was kinda brown and served me well hauling the old Alaskan around but I decided I wanted something a little more convenient so I sold them and bought an older Chinook motor home. I like it well but the Ford 460 sure likes gasoline so that is one reason why I'm gonna enjoy lower priced gas. Lower, not cheaper. Lower sounds better.
And the Durango serves as my town and short trip automobile. It's very comfy heading down the road but I don't like staying in motels. With my old Chinook, I usually know who slept in my bed last night.
You coming to Punkin Center this time?
I heard here on the campfire that low fuel prices are really really bad for the economy.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
you might be right but really I'm not one bit ashamed. Not yet, anyway.
byc, I'm 100 percent self funded so I prefer lower gas prices to whatever the stock market has in store for y'all.
yeah, I should be able to make it....
Good Lord willin and the Creeks don't rise...
don't think you'll see me competing much, especially in the Cannon/Dangerous Game Rifle/Testosterone Contest...
hope to see you there...
$1.33.9 here in s w mo best it's been for a long long time. hope we can keep the ball rolling for a long long time.SCREW big oil they made their millions
Unless there is some big bad snowstorm in my path, I will be there.
I'm with you on the competition stuff. Leave that to the tuff guys but I will bring my .223.
Cheap gas is good for the consumer, but tough on the economy, drillers, refiners and oil workers!
Cheap gas is good for the consumer, but tough on the economy, drillers, refiners and oil workers!
Aside from petroleum, all other facets of the economy benefit.
I saw some at $1.47 a few weeks ago in TN. Here in N GA it is in the mid $1.50's. Closer to big cities like Atlanta it is in the mid $1.70's.
$1.569 here for 100% gas.
Here we go again..... geez I just don't get it. Same folks happy will be very sad in the future again.
But I agree, it would be nice for the pricing to be stable.
But one thing you don't see, while the gas is selling at 80s pricing, which is nuts since we are 35 years inflated down the road.... you rarely see other commodities that go up along with fuel, ever come back down to prices that were 35 years ago... I know... I look for that and never have seen it personally.....
We could get back to 10 bucks a pound or so powder, 1 buck a box primers, bullets at 10 a box or less and so on..... I coudl buy 223 mil surp fired brass for 19 or less a 1000.....
Man.....
Filled up today, $2.17 non-ethanol.
$1.37 for 87 octane E-10, $1.69 for pure gas.
I love cheap gas and cheap stocks.
Probably not so much the stocks when I'm ready to lay in the sun and rub my sack full time.
All about planning (I have a lot of it to do).
Regular is $3.54 per gal in San Diego.

So what do you propose? Better to be sad all the time than happy part of the time? It doesn't take a crystal ball or some deep insight to know that the price of gas will go up again so I will do my best to enjoy decent prices while I can.
WaaaHoooo !!
Just filled my old Durango. 22.684 gallons for only $40.35 !
$1.77 9/10 per gallon.
Long time since it had been that cheap and I hope it stays at least that low for a looong time!
Wow. Fantastic.
Paid eighty cents a gallon with the loyalty points yesterday. We had a ninety cent credit
Saw it in Houston on Friday for $1.379 cash.
That's why stocks are tanking. A local convenience store is redoing tanks -- offering non-ethanol gasoline soon.

It is great for me. I really don't give a fugg about you're retirement
$1.54 here. If y'all want it fixed, I say let it get down to about 99 cents and keep it there.
In northern Ontario, I am paying $0.889 per litre. So multiply that by 3.78 to get a US gallon, and then subtract 40% for exchange on the low Canadian dollar, and you come up with -------------- a good reason to stay at home.
Judas Priest, now I need to remember to bring an abacus to a Canuck gas station..............
Are the pumps there still labeled Gold/Silver/Bronze?
Yeah well again SCREW the drillers refiners etc let them suck it up for awhile, as we all had to, to get to work when it was $4.00 what goes around comes around.
1.34 here in Springfield MO.
Cheap gas is good for the consumer, but tough on the economy, drillers, refiners and oil workers!
You mean consumers like truckers, airlines, earth moving contractors, farmers and any other employer that need fuel to operate?

Everybody likes a bargain and fuel has been one for a while now. Why is everything you mentioned above static, or going up?

THis is the exact issue America has. No one cares about everyone as a whole. No one wants to work to the best thing for a good outcome. Everyone is as greedy as the next.
Its ok when its in your court but when its in the other, oh chit....
I don't have a solution either but folks are happy with low fuel costs. I am too. But I'm just not to stupid to understand its going to bite us again...
So I guess just enjoy what you got when you got it.
And no one comments about other commodities never coming down, but its ok for something to be back to what it cost 35 years ago?
Anyone? Want to comment on costs 35 years ago vs now? Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe there are some other good buys out there... water, electricity, cars, food, stock prices, well...that may be soon enough..., not even a load of gravel for my road. Or corn for the deer feeders....
In the 1.50's in some parts of Wyoming , still 1.95 in Buffalo........WTH
Gotta make the money off the snowmobiling industry that is recreating in the Big Horns! Used to be able to get the "local" discount of 10 to 20 cents if you told them you were local.
$1.47 here if you shop.
Diesel is 20 cents higher
$1.45 is the cheapest in South Louisiana I have seen so far with diesel a little over $1:50. Any cheaper and I will not be able to afford to buy it.
In Long Beach California right now and regular is still over $3.00 per gallon.

Government imposed regulations, debt that has to be paid down to list a few. Companies have been held at knife point for 6-7 years with high fuel prices and some made it some didnt. We only had affordable energy for about a year. And prices are coming down, the steer tire I bought for $940 a tire is down to $680 when I called the other day. I dont need a 18000 point dow to prosper. I can prosper on $2.50 a gallon fuel.

Why is someone else's retirement my responsibility?
Simply because so many oilfield workers are irresponsible with their income?
If you start working in the oilfield and are too dumb to see how cyclical it is that's your fault, and decide to put all of your money into buying jacked up trucks at 800 a month payment, or put your money into the market and then cry because cheap gas prices are killing your retirement account...that isn't my responsibility, I'm concerned with my family's budget and our future. Noone elses

I live in the heart of oil county. A massive amount of energy for the entire country comes out of the county that I live in. The attack on fossil fuels by the government is destroying Wyoming. I understand how higher fuel prices can drive our oil industry, but that being said, oil is manipulated by the governments and big companies, not by the supply and demand of the public as much. Cost doesnt need to be really high for a strong oil industry
Had to look for your post, then found where it was hidden.
I hear you on just a few oil workers, but you'll find its a LOT more than that.
TX economy, and I hope not to be here in a few years, so I'm not just pro TX, is linked to much more than TX.... overall its going to hurt.
And when OPEC nails us once again, everyone will be pointing the finger at oil companies they prayed woudl go bankrupt, once again, for inflating prices....
I think economics should have been a required course in school...
Right now with falling oil, cattle prices are falling and I'm starting to hear the complaining from taht side... when you talk gas.. they are happy.
I wish I did have a solution....
Now back to the question... whats going for 80s prices, in 2016, other than gas?
I can purchase a television and a computer today for WAY better than 80's prices...
It is great for me. I really don't give a fugg about you're retirement
I take it that you don't have money saved and invested for retirement???
Also, it is an implicit admission on your part that too-low commodity prices end up dragging down the whole economy, unless you think Ed only owns oil stocks with no diversity.
I can purchase a television and a computer today for WAY better than 80's prices...
Better quality too...wish I could say the same for gas...
Yeah well again SCREW the drillers refiners etc let them suck it up for awhile, as we all had to, to get to work when it was $4.00 what goes around comes around.
If you knew enough to buy a little stock in those oil companies, you could have gained from their "obscene profits." Maybe it's time to start participating in a corporation-based industrial economy, as that is the way of the world now for the past 150 years or so.
I can purchase a television and a computer today for WAY better than 80's prices...
At least someone has some points..... you are correct.
And here I thought the falling prices were due to the election coming up...
It ain't just the oilfield that feels the crunch.
It trickles down to other folks in nearly every industry.
http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2016/01/30/caterpillar-close-plants-cut-670-jobs/79575144/PEORIA, Ill. -- One of the largest companies in Illinois has announced another round of layoffs.
Peoria-based Caterpillar says it plans to close five plants and trim nearly 700 jobs in the coming months. The biggest number of cuts will come at a major manufacturing campus in East Peoria.
Caterpillar is also cutting positions in Georgia, New Mexico, Wisconsin and several other states.
Where not you guys saying let the market set the price when gas was $3 plus a gallon.
AMEN!!!!

Yup, and we 're gonna find out soon enough how how having all petroleum products imported from other counties works out. It may be great. It worked for Wal-Mart.
And no one comments about other commodities never coming down, but its ok for something to be back to what it cost 35 years ago?
Anyone? Want to comment on costs 35 years ago vs now? Maybe I'm wrong
Try 15 years ago I paid these prices for fuel. What can you buy an ounce of gold for now as compared to 5 years ago?
I'm not going to say I won't adapt, but the volatility of fuels is the crunch.
I can do wihtout walmart and or a lot of things if need be, I can't much do wihtout fuel....eventually I can, but not at the outset.
One could move to or live in a city and walk or bike to work, doesn't work out here. Likely though I'd just say phug it and go back to raising stuff and just making ends meet...although I'd probably pack my stuff and move far north to start that if it comes to that.

exactly, lots of prices should be falling like rocks out of the sky to catch up with almost free fuel....
Lowest I have seen here in the central valley is $2.10/gal. If we want to remain independent from OPEC and put the squeeze on them it is going to take close to $3.00 gas. IF that were stable and IF other commodities would stay stable we as a whole would be better off. But no doubt we all like cheap gas in the short run. Same goes for all the cheap crap imported from China. We all want to buy American, but it damn sure isn't easy to do. Lets face it, the products are just not there.
enjoy it, it will be over in about a month.
Just remember guys the gas/oil is still there, it's known, and oil is just not going to drill it at too cheap a price.
I'm sure many producing wells has been slowed down or shut down if the formation will allow it to occur.
What's happening right now is the drilling of one well on a lease just to hold the lease. Fill in wells will happen at a later date.
What's all that mean for down in this state (Tx) the regional oil producers, many that owe 2 or 3 billion and have assets of a billion or so will go bankrupt, lots of investors will lose big money---in the process. The assets will sell to someone else at a bargain and the process will start over again for the next ten or so year run.
Read where Chevron had a loss of 600 million for the last quarter so that should make some (whats his name up in Oregon) real happy.
He needs to go after American Airlines now cause they made after expenses I believe 400 or 500 million in profit. For the quarter.

I absolutely invest but explain to me how having more expendable income in your pocket every week is a bad thing, especially when that extra money gives you that much more to invest, or spend in the local economy, or even invest in a side business?
Can't you see the problem with an economy based on fiat currency such as the stock market?
There's nothing wrong with more money in your pocket. Nothing at all, unless it comes from a large segment of the economy shrinking. That drags down the entire economy because it is not based upon growth.
The reason I always question who has investments or not is it makes no sense to complain about big companies making big profits so long as you own part of the company. That is the essence of the stock market.
The 'fire members never cease to amaze me! I never thought there would be so much bitching and whining about the price of a commodity getting cheaper.
Well, I'm gonna enjoy it to the max!
I am just happy to see fuel at $1.99....finally!!!
$1.69 here - but even better: diesel's been hovering between $1.89-1.99...
Is the low price of crude ( gasoline ) dragging the price of corn ( additive ) down. Hasbeen
It cracks me up when folk think the price of goods should be falling like a rock when the cost of fuel does.
Lots of companies are just happy to be adding a little more to their bottom line and have no delusions that fuel will stay thus cheap.
It's gonna get even cheaper when all of it moves to Mexico. Of course, it will be relative, as the economy moves with it.
Everytime you buy a gallon of case, but another 2 bucks per gallon in a jar.
The money you save will help ease the pain when the recession hits as soon as a new administration gets in and Øbama can't hide the failure anymore.
It cracks me up when people don't understand the price of crude effects more products than just gasoline. Hasbeen

so why does gas go up and down.... if gas stayed up folks would really be mad at the middle man for making more money.....
The middleman doesn't make more money. It's far too competitive, as it's a high volume/low margin business.
Comparing the cost of Chinese electronics and US refined fuels is laughable BTW.
For the people that are saying low gas prices are causing the stock market to drop. Why was the stock market so low when gas was 4 bucks a gallon?

Because he who controls the energy, controls everything else.
Every time I am forced to buy gasoline this cheaply, I anguish over the widows and orphans that are starving as a result.
