Just came back from a trip to Dallas. In Austin and Dallas the lowest prices are now $2.25 while some of the towns in between are down to $2.15

If my figuring is correct that will come out to be about $1.80 USA per Gallon. About where we were 2 years ago.

Here in Trinidad its $0.42USD per liter.....i think thats about $1.68 per gallon.

Gas prices are expected to plumet after Bush signed a bill that allowed his oil buddies to tap/drill the oil fields in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico (at the expense of the environment, of course).

True it is at the cost of the Environment. But, since we use most of the world's oil, is it not fair that we pay the environmental price also. Overall tho it is a reduction in environmental damage. Every drop of oil produced here is that much less to present an at sea oil tanker mishap. The number of oil tankers now plying the seas is a colossol disaster waiting to happen.

The fringe benefit is it will result in lower gasoline prices, boost the economy and end dependance on foreign oil. Opec oil is too expensive and we can no longer afford to buy it. Plus our economy has reached the point where we need to keep more money in the US and rely less on imports.

If we can go just one day a Month without buying foreign oil that will keep 20 million barrels from crossing the oceans. It is not only hazardous, it is stupid to have 20 million barrels of oil coming into US ports every day. That means that at any moment, there is at least 140 million battels out on the open sea waiting to spill. It is stupid that we import oil, while our reserves are large enough that we should be a major exporter. Besides it is only going to be 5 to 10 years before the Mideast oil reserves are depleted and it will take us about 10 years to get into full production.

Excellent point. I just get nervous about the Gulf of Mexico because it's not the most stable area and a part of me was hoping the pressure would be applied to alternative energy sources. I know the planet is nowhere near as "fragile" as some scientists seem to think, but I also know what the back-lash would be if we pushed it. Nature is quite capable of pushing back.

$1.82 I think.
But Im english, in England, and I think £0.99 is expensive per litre, lol!:D
 
I dont buy gas or pay in $.

Petrol prices here are over £1, around $2
 
I have been seeing something I did not expect. In the past month I have been doing considerable traveling throughout Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota. Ethanol plants have been popping up faster then Texas Petroleum Refineries.

Ethanol based fuel is now considerably less then Petroleum based and drops almost daily.

85 octane ethananol can be found for $2.55 per galone and 85 octane petroleum based fuel is now over $4.00.

The sad part is I now see the farmers selling their grain crops for ethanol production instead of food production. The ethanol plants are paying about $5.00 per bushal for corn and the food producers are only offering $1.00 per bushal.

If the trend develops for ethanol production I can see an end to surplus food production and much higher food prices for those living outside the US and Canada as The US and Canada produce over 85% of the grain crops used by most of the world.

All grades of gasoline are well over $4 at this Mobil station on Route 28 in Falmouth. Nationwide, the average price of a gallon of unleaded regular was $3.96 yesterday, according to AAA.

Gotta love Cape Cod :eek:

Yes, it is a bit rediculous and it sunk this summers tourism industry - which is why I have all this time available to attend the forums. Between that and the H2b workers visa cap - the Cape Cod Business Community is a wash out. So I'm staying home, doing more gardening. At least the garden will help offset the price of food, which is climbing because of the price of gas.
