Gas under TWO BUCKS !

Saw two stations with gas under two bucks a gallon. Chevron and Safeway. Across from each other in Cle Elum, WA.
Whoda thunk when we were kids that two dollar gas would ever be considered cheap!
 
I had said that when it reached $3.00 the first time around....apparently I can eat my words now. :) Im betting down the line not a lot of good will come of it somehow lol.
 
Any experts in the petroleum industry who know the real reasons behind the energy costs? Who really controls the time for prices to go either up or down?
 
Enjoy it while you can Chris, goobernator Inslee will raise the tax soon to get the price back up to where it's unaffordable again.
 
in 2008 when crude oil topped out at 147 a barrel the highest gas got here was 4.28. now you do the math we are getting "hosed" at the pump real good by the oil companies with crude at 55 dollars a barrel.
 
Gas here @ 2.02 gal. Road diesel 3.29(so IN) At 54/ barrel must be near a breakeven point for oil companies.
 
I was in town yesterday...the no-brand station next to Arby's was at $2.22.9 a gallon, and their sister station with the BP brand was $2.24.9. Everyone else was around $2.39.9 a gallon.
 
$1.97 here. Local Kroger has it at that price. Used my Kroger card to get another $.30 off that price yesterday. I bought a new Toyota Tacoma 3 weeks ago. Parked the Dodge 2500 that gets around 10mpg and started driving the Toyota that gets 22+. Then the price drops. Was spending $100+ to get to and from work all week. Spent $26 yesterday for 5 days comute. In theory, could save $3900 a year if prices hold.

They won't.

Happy for the time being though.
 
The funny part is that with these prices I tend to leave all of the gas tractors and equipment idling more than shutting them off like I used to. I thought I had done really good when I filled the bulk gas tank at 2.42 a gallon a few weeks back. Maybe I will quick burn that all up so I can fill it even lower! My chore tractor is gas so it shouldn't take long.

True, though. We went through way more gas/fuel by idling than now. When we fed sileage by loading it in the pickup by hand that pickup sat and idled the whole time with the door open and the radio blaring (KBGB out of Great Bend). I remember when I was young it was an unspoken rule - when you started the diesel tractors you didn't shut them off until dark. I remember walking home for lunch and leaving them idle in the field. Now I shut them off several times by the time I have something hooked up, greased, and to the field.
 
Well, we are still getting 'boinked'(without kissing). Was in town today and it works out to $4.04 CDN per US galloon !
 
McCook needs some competition but the powers that be don't got no time for that.... stuff.
2.49 at the Sinclair with 5 cent cash discount. Had to mark the calender last week McCook gas was a nickel under the state average.
 
Gas was 2.27 in Alexandria MN.

Where the wife works was 2.29.

He boss gets his price from the supplier. They have it figured out based on how far they haul it per each station. When there is a rice change the supplier calls and tells em what they are supposed to be charging. The supplier get his pricing from the gas company, then adds in the additives that each station requires to come up with the price.

I read in the news that for existing wells the break even points are non fracking 42 dollars a barrel and 52 fracking in one report and another that said 40 and 60 respectively. Now that's to extract oil here in the US. Guess we will have to see how far OPEC is willing to let the price slide.
