Blastmaster Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The gov-ment will step in shortly with a higher gasoline tax to fund the renewables that are needed to combat global warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I just read an article that said much of the southeast could expect prices to drop below $2.00 a gallon!! if it did that here in California the gas companies would be losing money and have to start paying some of the taxes on gas for us But don't forget... Jerry Brown's "Cap and Trade" kicks in on Jan 01. A fella I know who works for a distributor tells me that they don't know what it'll do to the price, the state can't tell them yet, but they expect an immediate increase of something north of 70¢ per gallon. Any cost to "save the world" for Jerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Trail Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I find it sad that I was excited about filling up the wife's Explorer yesterday at $2.459/gallon. Really it should be well under $2. Rest assured this won't last. Marxist-Muslim Obama is talking about increasing the gas tax and apparently all he needs is his pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 $2.23 a gallon this week. Hope it keeps on going down. Oil companies expect the price to go down so they are keeping inventories low. Don't want to get stuck with expensive oil in the tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 $1.89 OKC $2.21 in Sherman, TX I got a question. How much does it cost to tanker transport gas on a gal/mile basis? The distributors here seem to know just how much they can gouge you by making it borderline economical to drive to nearby towns where gas might be less costly.

Harvey Mushman Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Not only are we, on a personal level, benefitting from lower gas (energy) prices, but the worldwide economy is jump starting due to the fracking technology revolution begun in the US. Historically little changed in man's standard of living until plentiful energy sources became available through technology and free market operation. The industrial revolution began with the harnessing of steam and exploded form there with petrochemical and atomic energy. Man's global standard of living can be tracked exactly with the availability of cheap, plentiful, and distributable energy. Were it not for the fracking revolution in the US, we would still be in a recession, and perhaps a depression. BTW, fracking started WRT natural gas, then some innovative US folks/CORPORATIONS figured out how to apply it to oil shale, and there have been several increases in the technology since then. We have several more to go, and this has made the US nearly energy independent, barring the government intervention which has already slowed it down from where it could have been.

J-BAR #18287 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Fracking has been around for awhile. I worked for Pan American Petroleum Co. as a roustabout on summer break in 1966 in Farmington, New Mexico. The company was fracking oil and gas wells in the Basin Dakota field at that time, so it started before then. I agree that any process that makes petroleum easier to get out of the ground is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that any process that makes petroleum easier to get out of the ground is a good deal. Agreed it started earlier - technology advances, combined with newer methods (horizontal, made available also by newer technology, etc.) made it a viable commercial reality. The important point is both the generational change in the predicted future life of petroleum energy, overall, and the implication for the US - energy independence for several generations. We have long known of the oil in shale, just did not have cost effective technology to extract it. Free markets and technology can bring wonderful results, within limits, of course.

The rest in the area are still showing 2.329 or 2.339. I filled at 2.359 at the same BP on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
