It doesnt work , In fact it work the exact opposite. Look at it this way, so you don't buy gas on friday, ok, that means your tank is got less than it would have if you would have filled friday, so they expect a big demand the next day, 

YOur right something has to be done. But the only thing that will work is doing something completely different for fuel. Or a way to cut back much more drastically, as it is cars use a hell of a lot less than they did in the 60's.

There you go. I just wish I knew how to get building materials on a bus and to where I want them to go. 

All that needs to happen for the price of gas to go down is the dollar needs to get better. Thats all. But it will never do that if the fed keep cutting rates, we are down to 2 points now.  which is almost the lowest its ever been.

They are most likely going to pause from cutting rates now which is a very good thing. If its true and if at the next fed meeting they don't cut rates look for the dollar to go up, and the price of oil to go down.

Oil is way too expensive, and even the oil companies have admitted it finally. They say it should be around $60 a barrel which is about right. 

Yanno. Thats worth a try.    Wish it were true. I also live in the country, 5 miles from civilization.   

you are right on the dollar needs to go up ,hope it does ,
but while the rest of the world is buying oil at $120 USD a barrel , you don't have any option , America already has the cheapest fuel in the world , so I don't see much chance of it going down in price , it's now a limited commodity , and forcast to hit $200 within 2 years , just my thoughts ,hope I am wrongt on that ,

   dlewis23   want to put 100 TMN bucks on fuel prices dropping by 1/2 within the year in the USA ?  game on ? yes/ no , i will be using the 100 that shugs still owes me ,
but indeed some good news on your link , as the london exchange will also lift , but we are on a high at the moment , so a bit more upwards is good news for me also over here in the UK

Bro we can always drop some off the tax , maybe as much as $3 USD ,
can you guys do the same ?
just been reading this , and the figs seem about right,
but at $200 USD a barrel the Canadian shale fields could become a possibility ,

"Projecting 2001 production levels, by 2020 83% of global oil reserves will be controlled by Middle Eastern regimes.

The energy security and national security concerns that stem from reliance on a single energy resource that is unevenly distributed throughout the world will be intensified as demand for oil grows. The result will probably be:

A handful of Middle East suppliers will regain the influence they had in the 1970s and once again be able to dictate the terms on world oil markets and manipulate oil prices and world politics.
Middle Eastern producers will continue to use their oil revenues to increase their military expenditures, fuel an arms race and undermine regional stability.
Corrupt, oppressive regimes will continue to use oil revenues as a means to maintain their power.
Wealth generated by oil rich Middle Eastern countries will continue to flow into terrorist organizations and organizations promoting radical Islam.
The U.S. will need to keep increasing American military presence in the region to ensure our access to the remaining oil. This will mean further U.S. embroilment in Middle East conflicts, more anti-American sentiment, and a deepening rift between the West and the Islamic world.
Tension between the U.S. and China due to growing Chinese intervention in the Middle East to ensure its own access to oil and Chinese arming of Middle Eastern countries hostile to the U.S. and its allies.
Further drain on economic resources caused by imports of expensive oil. "

oil will be about finished in 20 years , thats why my bet with Dlewis is on a winner , it ain't never going to be cheaper than it is now, maybe minor fluctuations in the mean while but the only way is UP long term , sooner we all accept that , and that includes the UK , ( our oil is about gone , ) we sold it cheap years back ,
we now import gas from Russia , without that we would freeze in the winter, I have my catalytic gas fire on at the moment , burning Russian gas , they may decide they need it more than me , and turn the gas off , and I note Russia and America are thinking about building a pipe link between Russia and America,
WOW, times are indeed changing , the world is shrinking , and alegencies  are changing ,
so where are the reds under the bed gone ? and will we all be kissing ass to the islamic nations ?
maybe so , just glad I won't be around to see those times , but my grandchildren will be ,
IMHO cheap oil is gone forever ,
BTW,  I would be happy to be proved wrong on that ,
 
 







 

Good move bro , as Mark Twain said all those years back ," land they ain't making it anymore " , already in my  area, building land is fetching  $5million an acre, my house built for $1500 USD back in 1937 . is now worth $750,000 USD , and more as a cleared site ,  the rent is valued at $29,000 per year ,
lol,  if I could find a cave to move into I would,  the cheapest apartment in the uk is now around $245,000 USD , and in a poor area, (crime or floods)
some days I just think the world has gone crazy ,

Yea unfortunantly Mud is right, they dont work. If your gonna use the gas your gonna use it. Doesnt really matter if you buy it today or a week from now. I agree we need to do something about prices. I guess when you have something that is limited in supply and after you use it its gone... well sooner or later your gonna run out.. and its gonna go up in price all the way to the end.

 

1 Gold (oz.) (XAU) = 855.219 US Dollar (USD)
1 Silver (oz.) (XAG) = 16.33669 US Dollar (USD)

1 Canadian Dollar (CAD) = 0.98046 US Dollar (USD)

1 Euro (EUR) = 1.54191 US Dollar (USD
1 British Pound (GBP) = 1.97127 US Dollar (USD)
1 Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) = 3.73232 US Dollar (USD)

If the value of the dollar drops what happens to the price of gas?
