Yes, lol. Just thought I'd give all the speed-reading American gas-price- followers a little jolt of envy. But you can all relax now cause that works out to about $4 a gallon. Y'all need to stop whinging about gas prices cause , likely, next to the Saudis, you've got the cheapest gas prices on the planet and always have had. When our gas prices come down to abt 2.50 a gallon, you all will probably be paying 15 cents lol.

I will take a more thoroughly educated approach to the thread. :)

It is interesting to see two Texans on the thread with one having the personal experience of knowing folks who are working MORE, with the other knowing folks who are working LESS.

I'm not sure whom you are referring to besides me, but if it's Dee, she's in Louisiana and she's talking about drilling off-shore in the ocean. I'm talking about drilling ON LAND. That's probably why there is a difference in people working and not working, as they are drilling more on LAND from what my cousins have told me and from what my neighbor's son in law has stated about being in S. Dakota drilling.

We are very lucky here!

When we traveled to France and England we paid over $7 a gallon! True story...we pulled in at the first petrol station after getting our car in North Umberland, and the sign said 2.77 ( or thereabouts)...gas here was over $4.00 a gallon, so we were quite happy...until our English friend explained about it being in Liters:seeingstars:

Touche`!

Just hit $2.25 here and I've figured out reward points. I have to get gas today and it should be $1.85

This is where I remember when I was working a gas station at the age of 15. All stations were full service, pumps were all manual. I remember when I had to reset the pumps up to 0.65 per gal and it was so high we made the news. :blink:

I just paid $1.96 a gallon. While I'm sympathetic to the oilfield folks that are currently laid off, I'm enjoying not hearing the agonizing screams of my wallet after I fuel up my truck.

gas has dropped 20 cents a gallon here to 2.07 and 2.09 a gallon in the last couple days. I'm happy about that. I can't wait for it to drop below 2.00/gallon!

I haven't seen gas this low, around my neck of the woods, since 2003. :)

Saudi petroleum minister tells Arab summit there’s no ‘conspiracy’ behind drop in oil prices

Dec 21, 2014 Aya Batrawy, The Associated Press

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – Saudi Arabia’s oil chief on Sunday dismissed allegations that his kingdom conspired to bring down oil prices in order to harm other countries and told a summit of Arab energy leaders that he was confident the market would stabilize.

The kingdom, which is dependent on oil revenues, is able to weather lower oil prices due to large reserves built up over the years. Non-OPEC member Russia and other nations like Iraq, Iran and Venezuela need prices substantially above present levels to meet budget goals and want to drive prices up.

Saudi Arabia maintains it is opposed to cutting production because of fears its market share could erode.

“The best thing for everybody is to let the most efficient produce,” Saudi Petroleum Minister Ali Naimi said in the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi. He was addressing the Arab Energy Conference, a gathering held every four years.

The price of U.S. crude has dipped below $60 a barrel, its lowest in five years. Naimi said he was certain that the oil market would recover with the improvement of the global economy.

An OPEC meeting last month failed to agree on production cuts, mainly because of Saudi opposition to curb its own exports. OPEC controls about 40 per cent of the world oil market and Saudi Arabia is the cartel’s largest producer.

Naimi said that “a lack of co-operation by non-OPEC production nations, along with the spread of misinformation and speculator’s greed” have contributed to the drop in prices.

Some market speculators have suggested the kingdom is forcing lower prices to damage the economies of nations such as Russia and the Shiite powerhouse Iran, staunch backers of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Saudi Arabia backs the mainly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Assad.

Earlier this month, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the sharp fall in global oil prices was the result of “treachery,” a remark interpreted as a reference to Saudi Arabia.

“I want to say from this podium that talk about a Saudi conspiracy has no basis of accuracy at all and points to a misunderstanding,” Naimi said.

diamondrose 12-23-2014 11:44 AM

Gas is $2.09 a gallon in my part of the sticks.. Anxiously awaiting for under 2'buckaroos.

Medusa 12-23-2014 04:47 PM

starryeyes 12-23-2014 05:37 PM

$2.63 in Oceanside, ca. Less than $30 to fill up. What!? :)

MsTinkerbelly 12-23-2014 06:25 PM

California is always higher...waaaaaaaaaaa

Trev 12-23-2014 06:36 PM

$1.91 a gallon here in Missouri. Unbelievable

Blade 12-26-2014 10:33 PM

It was $2.28 today but I had a rewards card so I got it for $1.98

Next week I will use my rewards card in SC which is already cheaper than NC. I've got .45 on that card so I will probably get it for around $1.50 next week

JDeere 12-26-2014 10:37 PM

1.99, good for gas prices, bad for oil and gas jobs, sighs

GeorgiaMa'am 12-26-2014 10:37 PM

I heard on NPR today that Missouri was the first state to go under $2.00 on average across the state; they expect Oklahoma to be next, sometime this weekend.

$2.28 here in Atlanta.

firegal 12-27-2014 01:11 AM

$2.21 love it

cinnamongrrl 12-27-2014 06:36 AM

I went into town last night and it was down to 2.29!! A whole .10 since the last time I got gas. Thank god for a good 4 cylinder...and not going anywhere helps a lot too.

SleepyButch 12-27-2014 07:18 AM

I filled up my tank last night and it was only 1.77 a gallon. Crazy!

I'm jealous of OK's gas prices. I just paid 1.96 at walmart with a gift card and saved 3 cents a gallon from the 1.99 regular price here in my sticks of the world in TX.

I can't wait til it drops to below 1.88, this is exciting. I can fill up my truck now for less than 50 bucks, which means I can save enough money on gas to make more trips more often to see my family members down around Austin !! YAY ME!! WOOOHHOOOO Keep those gas prices dropping please!!
