I will just place this here, because it fits so well with why we pay $3 a gallon.



(BTW, I've never seen this video before. Take a look at Clapton in there. He does a great job!)

$1.26. Saw a prediction yesterday that it will get less than a dollar. (except in California);)

$1.99? :rolleyes:
It's gotta be messing with the economy in a bad way when it gets this low. Saudi's are hoping it damages or destroys US companies so they can regain the prices they want to see once again. Low is good to a point.

It IS letting the consumer spend their money in other places now, that for a long time went to the oil tycoons. A few years back, I was spending near $200 to fill my tank(diesel). Now it's about $75. There's no doubt that they're still getting all the taxes that they were when the prices were high.

Funny thing though, remember how the prices of so many things went up when the cost of transportation/fuel did? Haven't notice it dropping now that fuel cost have dropped.:rolleyes:

There's some price for a barrel of oil that large percentages of U.S. production is not profitable. That price will fluctate over time but U.S. domestic production costs are high because all the low hanging fruit was picked GENERATIONS ago. So those companies dependent on a $50 a barrel price will not survive and theiir lenders are stuck holding the bag. Oil will rise back up above that price fairly soon I expect but there's no hard time frame when that has to happen.

That's not a scheme hatched from Arabia. Look at the price of natual gas, coal, copper, steel, aluminum..........There's these financial manias the world goes through where everyone jumps into the same investments and piles more and more money into those fields until it all collapses upon itself------basically, because even the world runs out of suckers at some point.

All those "investment" manias thrive on the concept of the Bigger Fool. $150 a barrel oil was a MANIA------a BUBBLE. You can get rich buying swamp land in Florida so long as you find a Bigger Fool to buy it from you for more than you initially paid. All through history these bubbles pop. Somebody gets left holding the bag and those victims stand around in disbelef pointing fingers in a ciircular firing squad manner. Kinda funny when you're on the outside looking in.
