Gas Prices

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I paid $2.53 a gallon. They just raised the gas tax 10 cents a gallon. We now pay the highest gasoline tax in the nation.

Beer and egg prices are going up too.

Beer and egg prices are going up too.

They raised the turnpike fees by 5% also. That should be illegal. The turnpike makes more revenue that It spends. The rest of the money goes for other road projects.

Always a road or bridge that needs work by you i'm sure. Taxes are insane....our sales tax keeps creeping up too...we'll hit 9% soon.

I don't buy beer so that's not a problem but egg prices have remained constant for me. But then I don't get my eggs from the grocery store either!

I buy eggs at the discount grocery store. At the regular stores...$4/dozen...crazy.

Free range? Do you run around outside waiting for chickens to drop?

Free range? Yes. Chase them? No!

 

[The Other Side]

I believe the article you referenced gave numbers of wells shut down. The number is small.

US companies want to make a profit. That mark becomes limited between $50 and $60 a barrel. Is $90 better for them? Sure, if the global economy can support it. But there's a sweet spot that the US and Saudi Arabia have found where oil is still profitable and other global players are hobbled.

The number of wells is small? are you fricken kidding me? Did you not listen to Pickens in the video I linked??

He clearly points out that american oil companies had 4500 operating wells at one point in the 80's and then they SHUT DOWN 50% of those wells and drove the price up.

Next, they reduced the number of wells to 1500 (where they had been before president Obama took office) and now they want to shut down betwen 500 and 600 more wells. Thats almost 50% of capacity lost.

Still think that is small?

When you are paying $5 bucks a gallon for gas youll remember all those wells that are shut down suppling NOTHING to your gas tank while the oil industry makes billions a quarter on your dime.

Why attempt to defend the oil industry which is corrupt as heck and blatant about it??

Intentionally reducing capacity to drive up the price of oil per barrel hurts all americans. Our economy has suffered since GW BUSH allowed them to screw all americans at the pump.

Now, they have all the oil they need for decades to come, and yet they will drive up prices and attempt to blame president Obama for the high prices.

I would think a learned man such as yourself would know that "$" means "dollar" and that you don't have to add the word "dollars" to $65.

Psst, I know who im dealing with, and i have to cover all bases.

So basically all you are worried about is that Obama will get blamed for something.

Maybe I should have added a psst, bro, or ya.

Yeah, he's Quick Draw McGraw on that point with everyone else.

I was being polite in deference to your status as resident forum intellect.

Did you not read the Yahoo article you posted?

The oil market is shifting considerably. Different players, different price points, different geopolitical aims.

You are coming awfully close to crossing the line.

You are coming awfully close to crossing the line.

Dish It out? cant take It?

Jerkball! Choose your words more carefully.

 

[upschuck]

You are coming awfully close to crossing the line.

I agree, but is it a lot different when it is your line they are crossing?

Paid $.96 last week at a station in Spearfish, SD using my rewards card for a dollar off per gallon. Last time I saw those prices it was 1999. Almost felt like I was stealing it!
