bendable$1.50 gas ! , no wait , now it's a $1.45.9
Tuesaday we filled up the neighbors mini van for $1.50 per gallon , up in the big city at The Costco.
four hours later we were done with a 120 mile round trip ,we stopped at the same Costco and topped it off again for $1.45
Life is great after nine days of being all cooped up, the weather was great , the traffic on Interstate 80 was close to non existent, , people were mostly pleasant, .
I really needed to get out and about , I guess,responsibly though

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

smschulzYeah, while it seems it is a great thing - it is not so healthy for the economy especially here in Texas.

birddog1Some areas in Ohio as low as $1.15/gal. Currently about $1.35 near me

AglifterWholesale is something like 48¢ last I heard - will head far lower, maybe - or the retail folks will just keep the record high margins while they have them.

trapper189$1.65 yesterday. Hoping boat gas comes down as well.

NismoGeez. I drove by a gas station the other day and the 89 octane was slightly under $3 a gallon, which is low compared to what it was before all this.

trapper189Boat gas - ethanol free especially from the marina. Our bigger boat holds 93 gallons and filling it with 5 gallon cans hanging over the side of the boat is less than ideal. Pulling it out of the water and taking it to the gas station is bad:
Let's bring our 30-40ft trailer to the gas station. That leaves the marina fuel dock where it's $1 a gallon more than the gas station. I typically put 50 gallons in. I guess I'll go apply for unemployment since I typically used my substitute teaching money to fill the boat.

egregoreI'm seeing falling prices here, too.

TMatsFrom the heart.
Living in western Colorado, and now SE Wyoming, we’ve met, and became friends with, many people who worked in oil and gas. My wife, in fact, worked for Schlumberger for a few years and still keeps in touch with several people she worked with at “Slumber J.” Crude oil prices have cratered, they’ve been down at $20/barrel for a few days now. Just as this Virus was taking hold, the Sauds started a gas war with the Russians. That started the decline, then the Coronavirus began to accelerate causing airlines and cruise ships to park planes and ships and most Americans are sheltered at home. There’s a glut of oil now. The price is WAY too low to sell, so it’s being stored. Assuming at some point in the next few months things begin to return to something approaching normalcy, it won’t return for domestic O&G for a long time because of the glut of oil being stored now.
The independence we’ve enjoyed from OPEC because of domestic oil production is something some of you may be too young appreciate. Do a search for “70s gas crisis” and see what life is like when the Middle East (or Russia) has the country by the short hairs. This independence does not come about because of Exxon-Mobil, or Phillips Petroleum, or Chevron-Mobil. It’s achieved because of the many independents out there exploring, drilling, and employing thousands of fellow Americans. It will be devastating to American energy independence and our economy if those independents can’t survive.
There may not be a group of people harder hit during this crisis than those in O&G. Say a prayer for them as you put $1.49/gal gas into your SUV.
