kingdick Champion Author Minnesota Posts:55,266 Points:3,178,950 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Oct 2, 2006 10:01:10 AM Ignore kingdick Report Abuse This says it all: "What's new in the Oil Patch? Let's see now -- not much. No new refineries, no change in supply, little or no change in demand, animosity of producing countries the same or worse. Yet prices have dropped by more than one-third. From $3 a gallon and over to a low here recently of $1.96. The one thing that is new is the November elections when Big Oil supporters are in trouble of not being re-elected. Could it be?"

GasScanner Rookie Author New York Posts:19 Points:176,285 Joined:Jul 2006	Message Posted: Oct 1, 2006 7:25:30 PM Ignore GasScanner Report Abuse I think it may stay around the $50 to $55.00 range if people shop around and conserve. The stations are competing like never before to get your business. The larger stations were always .10 to .15 cents higher than the no names and now they are about the same. If we conserve gas, shop around and go to the best price in town it will keep the competition going and prices down. By The Way: Lets keep the politics out of this. We are all trying to help each other out and save not start the he should have, could have, would have. Just my two cents! Thanks! [Edited by: GasScanner at 10/1/2006 7:27:14 PM EST]

RBob Champion Author Portland Posts:3,465 Points:2,372,680 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: Sep 30, 2006 3:06:32 PM Ignore RBob Report Abuse Gas/Oil prices run in cycles and I believe we are at the low end and it will go up by the end of the year. Good time for oil heater people to buy their oil! I don't think OPEC and the oil exporting countries are going to let it get much lower - good reason to figure out how to conserve and utilze alternative energy!

There is a point at which this will all happen, but I don't think we know just where that point is.

Dancin Champion Author Toronto Posts:5,510 Points:2,082,255 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Sep 30, 2006 9:20:06 AM Ignore Dancin Report Abuse I hope it is not above $75 US per barrel, or recession will be right around the corner. The economy cannot sustain such a level, as non-discretionary heating fuels so up corresondingly. In the absence of real wage gains by the average worker, the disposable income comes from somewhere; usually discretionary spending, ie. restaurants, sports tickets, appliance purchases, etc. Let's hope for sustained lower prices, but don't bet on it longer term.

Bashing others for their personal choices all seems rather silly to me. This is a free country, and people make their choices for their own reasons. Some may wish to buy American and keep their local mechanics in business while others may wish to buy Japanese and keep their money from going to OPEC. You pays your dime and you takes your choice. Is this a great country, or what?

The technology is there, and the cars would still be built if there was a market for them. If the present desire for better mileage instead of more power persists, the high mileage cars will be back.
