I love my big gas guzzler. So you know I'm liking these gas prices. It's a 1.80 a gallon here. Hopefully it will stay that price for traveling 8 hours to brisket camp next month. @nolaegghead

$2.25 here. We are all subsidizing them good ol' boys in Texas. They look out for #1 for sure. Still, 225 is considerably better than it HAS been!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

2.39 on the plainsI raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

Just filled up at $2.85 in central California, but 3 of our oil drilling customers have laid off over 2,000 between them because of the low price of oil.

$2.17 at Costco in cumming ga

I saw $1.95 In south Jersey today. Ever since I converted my house from oil to natural gas last year the price if oil has been falling.
Anyone looking for a stock tip or a horse to bet on?

US oil production is way up, new methods producing lots of oil domestically. The middle east is flooding the market hoping to sell it cheaper than the US can produce thus crushing the US production. They've done it before but new methods of producing oil domestically are cheaper than offshore ways of the past. Basically the middle east is trying to run US oil production out of business with cheap oil. Good for consumers right now.

Thanks sir for the in depth explanation. Although I enjoy saving money at the pump, I realize that many people in the oil industry count on it as a living such as yourself. I continue to hope that oil stays down in price but at the same time hope all other Americans in the oil industry can also make their fine living as they should.1MBGE 2006, 1LBGE 2010, 1 Mini Max, Fathers Day 2015

You will almost certainly get to enjoy low prices for a while longer. When Cardamom and Kodiak come online and into full production, prices should fall even farther. About the only thing that could prevent it is if the Saudis throttle back for some reason. All these new fields will run at full or near full capacity until the majors recoup their investment. But again, sadly once their upfront costs are regained, they will cut production. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when my friend. Enjoy it while you can. To me what is really sad, there is enough oil in the deep water basin of the Gulf alone to push gas prices down to less than a dollar a gallon if they so chose. But this is a choice they will never make. The fields they are tapping now with the latest SPAR technology is massive on a grand scale. My only point is don't fall for the hype when they say oil shortage. Just with what is tapped, proven and ready for production as of right now, there will be no shortage of oil in our life time. The only shortage is when they shut in wells or cut production. And this is by choice to drive up the price per barrel. If the average person really knew just how much oil was in the Gulf alone, they would burn Washington D.C. to the ground for ever having to pay over a dollar a gallon for gas. Even though I work for them and owe everything I own to them, I will be the first to admit that the only thing as crooked as a politician is a oil executive. A oil "shortage" makes both oil executives and politicians very, very rich.

Here is a another very intriguing fact. Sitting just a few miles off of the Florida coast around what is known as the Destin Dome is a massive proven reserve that currently can not be produced due to environmental laws. If Chevron and ConocoPhillips had the green light to produce this reserve that is so close to land, gas would be almost half of what it is right now. It's a monster reserve that is already proven and it's cheap to produce due to its very close proximity to land and two major refineries. I'm all for conservation, I honestly am. But less than a dollar gasoline sure is appeasing to me. I can ramble on and on for days about this stuff. The reason that I like talking about it is to enlighten the non oilfield workers about just how much oil is really out there. When you hear the term shortage, it's just a strategic market manipulating a strategy. Nothing more. I will make one last point for the real young folks out there. For as big as the Gulf is, it is dwarfed in size by both the Pacific and the Atlantic. If there is enough oil in the Gulf to easily run America for almost the next century, how much do you think lies in the even deeper waters of the Atlantic and Pacific? The amount there is beyond comprehension. I won't personally live to ever see it, but plans are already in the works to push out into the very deep waters of both. For all the young people reading this, you will live to see the day that Saudi Arabia no longer sits at the top of the production food chain. Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon/Mobil will surpass them when they bring these extremely deepwater wells into production. As of today, we are already sitting sub sea main lines in over 7,000 feet of water. Something unimaginable only a decade ago. The plan for the very near future is 15,000 feet water depth. Then after that, 25,000 feet. It's happening faster and faster everyday as ROV and spooling technology keeps advancing. My whole point in all of this is that we have both the reserves and refining capabilities to have 25 cent a gallon gasoline. So the next time you are paying 2$ a gallon for gas and thinking you are getting a good deal, remember this is exactly what they want you to think. You are actually getting screwed, only now I have made you aware of it.

For some reason this thread has went the way of the buffalo. The "OT" maybe?
