Gasoline Prices

[slipperyrockTKE300]

How low have they gone in your area?

Think we will ever see $2.50/gallon (128oz vs imperial gallon) again??

$2.93 here in Clermont, Fl

[jmvotto]

3.39. In this great state

[smorris7]

2.70 in Dallas

Few locations in Vantucky have dipped to $2.99. Can't say when was the last time we saw that around here.

[Jceclipse01]

2.69 in bolingsprings SC

[sandm]

3.09 this morning in Wi. was 3.34 just a few weeks ago.

didn't want to fill up as it's been dropping every few days and hoping it might fall again but that idiot light told me not to wait :)

[jmvotto]

Hope it stays low until May when the boat comes back out of its long nap

3.25 in Billings. We are consistently one of the highest prices in the country.

[sandm]

wait until someone from cali chimes in. then we'll all feel much better about life.

While Berg is right that we've seen 2.99 in Vancouver (at Costco), most of the brand name stations are still 3.45 or so for 87. More for that premium gas that my euro cars seem to love.

Not likely. Always jumps up just in time for late spring/early summer.

[Cigars n scotch]

$2.70 in SC

[tarheelskier]

$2.70 in SC

And notice how it jumps when you cross the border into NC. We have at least 30-40 cents in extra taxes.

Yes I know this. I live right on the border and am in NC all the time. Never got gas there once. ;)

[zabooda]

It stays high here all the time now at $2.99. I drove to Iowa and back a few weeks ago on I-90 and I found Coeur de Alene Idaho and Sioux Falls to have significantly cheaper prices than the surrounding areas. The closer you get to oil producing areas like Wyoming and Billings the prices are higher. Go figure. I still spent $1,000 on gas on that trip.

[Jason05216]

$2.72 in central MO.

[valleywine]

$3.70 at the chevron by my house. $3.80 at the shell by the lake.

[sandm]

I don't know that I agree with that. I moved from Idaho to wisconsin last spring. I was averaging 6.5mpg so stopping every 140 miles for gas towing the boat. prices started out in idaho, dropped bigtime in wyoming(cheapest of the trip by almost .50/gal) and started increasing across nebraska as I approached omaha. the remainder of the trip thru iowa and wisconsin stayed within a dime, and not too far off from what I paid at the start of the trip.

[rdlangston13]

$2.74 here in Katy, TX.

[mikenehrkorn]

Had 2.93 yesterday but back up to 3.25 this am here outside Chicago

[irish-racing]

$2.91 for 87 and $3.48 for Diesel which to me is low. Filled up for under $100 today in my truck.

[Cigars n scotch]

I saw $2.59 today, getting close.

[sandm]

2.99 here.

[bergermaister]

Seeing $2.86 at the packed AM/PM mini mart. $3.38 across the street at the deserted Chevron. Don't see how they can compete.

Definitely making it a little less painful though. ;)

[slipperyrockTKE300]

now down to $2.85 in Orlando area

WA-WA has non-ethanol for about $3.90. They advertise it as "Boat Gas". No thanks

[sandm]

something about a state law that all gas has to be sold at a certain markup. gas is pretty much the same price no matter where it's being sold across town. probably why there are no chevron stations here....

I noticed the same thing when I go to LaCrosse. I thought they were owned by the same company.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

$2.73 today

[smorris7]

Down to 2.50 in the Dallas area. :o

[wolfeman131]

In case you don't want to do the math yourself, that's $1.99/gal thanks to Kroger fuel points

[jmvotto]

just broke 3.00 yesterday

Drew I am jealous 1.99 have not seen that in 15 years around these parts.

[KG's Supra24]

We had a station selling $1.99 gas last week. Diesel is still high, go figure.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

you can get those discounts in the Pittsburgh area too - thru Giant Eagle Supermarket..

The Southern supermarket chain - Publix, has it's own convenience store/gas pumps with the same discount plans.

BY the way - you Cincinnati folks have a very nice stadium. I was up there last weekend for the Bengals/Steelers game. I was on the 40 yard line 12 rows away from the field.

Can't believe the Cinci fans started leaving in a mass exodus with 14 minutes left in the game.

We Steeler fans managed to take over your stadium :)

[lee]

$2.17 yesterday in Nashville.

[Jason05216]

A friend said he saw gas at $1.99 on I-70 just outside Columbia MO today.

[moombadaze]

gas is down low enough I can drive my truck daily now

[bergermaister]

Last night my dad mentioned that he saw an article about the "average person" will save over $500 in gas costs next year. So for me that will be more like $1700...

WOW is all I can say about gas prices. Its $2.70 in my area at my normal station.
Even Diesel is below $3 now.

Last year at this time it was $3.21.

This is the first time in 6 years I have been able to fill my truck for less then a Hundo.

[mikenehrkorn]

I just saw $2.05 here outside of Chicago which is a real feat with all the taxes we have on gas these days!!

[Birdman]

90 cents a litre at costco this week in saskatoon sask dropped close to halve a dollar a litre recently to bad its not boating season would have been nice to fill the boat at theses prices.

[lee]

$1.99 in Nashville area.

We are now at 1.99 in and around the Dallas area! Let's hope it continues into next summer! It would be nice to fill up the boat under 100.00💵💵

I bought gas for $1.67 Tuesday!!

[kaneboats]

I went and filled up the wife's car and it was $2.12. Then I went an hour later to fill the truck at a different station and it was only $2.10. Wish I would have gone to the same station with the wife's car. Would have saved me a quarter.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

$1.97 at wawa

[rdlangston13]

Lay-offs coming. Schlumberger just announced it will be cutting 9,000 jobs, Halliburton is cutting 3,000 and who knows how many the others are cutting or what the total will end up being.

[powerstroke99]

I'm out here in boomtown dickinson ND and were just above 2$ a gallon.. Glad I'm in the refining side and not exploration n drilling!!

[aapwayneo2001]

$2.09 in NC but was $1.55 in Oklahoma over the weekend

[Mikey]

77.9 cents a litre here. converted to US gallon thats about 2.99 a gallon Costco has gas as low as 68 cents a litre, or 2.61 a gallon. We usually hover around 1.18 a litre or 4.50 a gallon . Nice break at the pump. but not so nice for all the OIL and gas employees being layed of right now. This is likely just the beginning.

[Cody]

$1.52 in Houston this morning. Filled up my F150 for $38.

Great at the pump but bad for us O&G folks.

[rdlangston13]

The thing that will be interesting to see is what will happen when producers start scaling back production. This hurts Russias war machine which is good but if they have to cut production way back as well as Iran and you add that to reduced US domestic production we could be in a bind when Saudi finally decides to curb their production. We could be caught in a global shortage and see prices rise higher than ever before. I am a fan of medium prices, like 2.50-3.00. That is way better in my opinion than wild swings.

Even now a days I can't hold sympathy for you guys in the south.

I was happy to see 70 to fill my truck.

Still 2.05 here in the PNW. Not complaining that's for sure. The last 5 years I have had to spend over a 100 per tank, and as much as 160 at times.

[bergermaister]

Saw $1.95 tonight at Safeway Mike...

I'd be ok with around $3 a gallon and remain stabilized. And to keep David employed.

So your saying they are cutting your hours and they are now Paying you less per hour? Or less pay due to less hours worked?

By the way I an advocate for $4 a gallon lol. Just read a couple posts up lol.

[rdlangston13]

I don't get paid hourly, they are cutting our day rate and cutting our pay per job. They are forcing us to work a 21/21 instead of a 14/14 which throws a monkey wrench in what i had planned for this summer

Sorry to hear it David. I'm with Berg on this one. I could give a crap about artificially lowered prices for a short period that hurt our core guys who make our energy force one to be reckoned with. I hope you and your mates are able to hang on and ride this thing out. I hope you guys relish in the thought that you are kicking their a$$es and that's why they have to resort to low grade tactics to F with the market. I'm proud of you guys and what you do. Tell any of your shipmates from over this way they have an all expense paid ride with me any time they wanna go out. God bless you guys!

[slipperyrockTKE300]

$1.93 here in Orlando.

As one who is approaching retirement, I'd be real happy to see the prices stay at or under $2.00.

Given that most of the oil we consume comes from North America....If the oil companies weren't so f'ing greedy, all the oil employees would remain employed.

Don't push the financial burden on us consumers, revolt against standard oil, etc.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

and you know what it costs the oil companies to produce a barrel of oil (42 gallons)?

About $2.00.

[zabooda]

$1.69 here but the drop in fuel prices that much messes up a lot of things including the stock market. It takes a while to feel the effect but a stable economy is a good economy but that hasn't occurred for many years. Now is the time to buy into energy stocks.

[rdlangston13]

Maybe back when standard oil was actually a company run by Rockefeller. I work in the oilfield, I see how much this stuff costs and it's not cheap. If it only cost $2 a barrel to produce the margins in the oil field would be off the charts. Truth is margins are higher on tennis shoes than on oil, especially $50 a barrel oil


Sent from my iPhone

[slipperyrockTKE300]

$2 a barrel sounded pretty cheap to me, but that is what news reports are telling the public.

[mmandley]

I just wish I could have sympathy for the Oil and Gas industry.

yes I feel bad your hours and pay per job are being messed with but this truly is not the american fuel consumers issues. This is big business issues and in the end you are only hear the things they want you to hear.

I hole hardily can believe a barrel is $2 to produce. These big companies don't become filthy huge and rich on small margins.

$271 Billion 2 years? Gawd Daum!! That's when gas was $4 a gallon I'm sure.

Now with the Market not in there favor they have taken a big hit.

Take this into account, Intel made $55 Billion last year in Profits. This is while we are finishing a 3 year project and a 30 Billion Fab build. Did Intel get like this by selling processors in the market? No as a matter a fact according to our company we are in dire straights. They cut Pay raises since back in 09. The best you get as an annual is 3%. That used me the bottom line. I was getting 9% per year up till 09. Now I am lucky to see 2%. We instead get bonuses based on company profits. So this means the more cheap and skimp we are the more profits the more we get.

Don't think for a moment those Processors in your $1500 new computer cost anywhere near that. Intel makes more then 9M chips per week, per week and they are worth about $2-4 bucks each. Same process or in Retail, can be as much as 1200 bucks depending on what all it can support.

I would not be surprised if OEG is taking a huge hit this year to there profits, and yes you as a man in the field will feel that too. A few years ago it was the banks, housing industry that took a huge hit and then it was the Electronics industry, now its OEG turn take a big bite out of the chit sammich we call the Economy.

[freshturk]

So what happens next? the Saudis wait until a lot of American Oil & Gas companies, fracking companies completely go belly up and then put oil prices through the roof? At that point, American companies are gone/unwilling to get back into the industry leaving us completely handicapped?

Ethanol free is still $3.50 here at the pumps and probably $4 on the lake, still gouging those prices.

[wolfeman131]

aren't you glad we introduced them to Capitalism?

Capitalism

Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industry, and the means of production are largely or entirely privately owned and operated for profit. Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation, competitive markets and wage labor. In a capitalist economy, the parties to a transaction typically determine the prices at which assets, goods, and services are exchanged.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

"So what happens next? the Saudis wait until a lot of American Oil & Gas companies, fracking companies completely go belly up and then put oil prices through the roof? "


No...the Saudis (and other members of OPEC - including the US) are putting the screws to the Iranians and the Russians because of their loyalty to Assad.

If you believe everything you read on the internet:

http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/saudi-arabia-in-oil-price-war-with-iran-russia/

[slipperyrockTKE300]

and from New York Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/04/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-is-said-to-use-oil-to-lure-russia-away-from-syrias-assad.html?_r=0

fracking operations can be profitable. But it does depend on whether oil stays above $65 per barrel. These US fracking companies want you to open your wallet and be patriotic enough to pay $3.50/gallon.

Are you? I like $2.00 per gallon...although I never thought there would be a day when I would say that.... when it was .28 cents per gallon :)

[mmandley]

Well in my area the gas prices just rose .10 back to $2.07 so I expect it to start rising now every few days until its mid $3.50s again.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

$2.06 in Orlando area.

[DOCDRS]

Who cares go look it up on gas prices .com it's a monopoly with price fixing and gouging, wtf were we ever higher than what we are now.....supply and demand is bullshit in the oil industry.....if my expenses remained the same and my price, fees charged dropped in half , I would have to close my doors.......funny how they can still keep pumping it out.

[slipperyrockTKE300]

"Who cares"?

apparently enough people care to make this thread 9 pages long.

We may not be able to do anything about what we are being charged, but we do care.

Day off today?

[rdlangston13]

The problem with the current situation is that it hurts everyone. I know its great now with gas around 2 bucks but this is not going to last and its going to be very painful when it does come to an end. As the price drops and producers stop drilling new wells and slowing down production the supply surplus will soon then turn into a supply shortage. This is going to swing fuel prices the other direction and because there will be very little new reserves on the market due to the drastic decline in new exploration during the price drop the supply will not be able to keep up with demand and there will be a lag time. Once this happens you can expect prices to sky rocket over $100 a barrel and some people are even predicting $200 a barrel. When this happens everyone will be wishing it would just stay at a consistent $80s.

So enjoy your $2 gas while it lasts because it'll get bad before too long.

[zabooda]

This cycle has gone on for years and production changes with the price. I do the same thing no matter what the price of gas. In fact, the higher the price of gas means less people on the water and less people camping so it works better for me. Right now, we are at $1.68/gallon. I'm fueling my motor home as this is the time gas prices have started back up.
