There's talk of it hitting $25 a barrel. As good as it sounds, it's reaching a danger point when some countries have built their economy on oil profits for more then $100/barrel.

Maybe those countries won't have money to keep the Terrorist's in money.Cheap oil is a good thing.I know my bank account could handle some cheap fuel for awhile like the next 40 years or so.

Went to Winnipeg yesterday. It's 78 cents a litre in there if you find the right gas station. :D :D :D Woooo Hoooo!!!! :D

Noticed diesel is still $1.10 though. :( :( :(

Gas here is about $1.94, diesel is still $2.60ish. In oregon you can't pump your own gas at a gas station so we have about the highest fuel costs around :???:

What's the reason for that rule in Oregon?

Gas has been holding at $1.65 here for the last couple weeks.

Filled my farm tanks a week ago for 81.5/L and now one can buy it in town for 72.9. Farm diesel is .83, road diesel is about 10 - 15 cents higher.

red fuel delivered @1.87 - filled half the farm tanks here and if it gets down another 10 cents I think I'll fill the other half. 1.87 is half what I paid for it all hay season.

Today I filled up with regular unleaded the 120 gal portable tank and the pickup I was hauling it in for $1.699 at the local co-op. E10 was a nickel higher.

The portable tank should last me until spring for doing chores around the place.

Any bets as to whether we'll see it under $1?

While I'd love to see it--In some ways I hope not-- as there are some very dangerous areas of the world that depend on feeding their countries off the income from crude- and if no/insufficient income is coming in will have to channel their efforts some other direction to feed their masses- which may be against our countries best interests...

That's kind of what I was saying in one of the first replies. The question is would they do something drastic to bring up the price of oil?

On a positive note, did anyone watch/listen to 60 minutes Sunday? They interviewed the oil minister from Saudi Arabia. It costs them $2 to produce a barrel, but I think it's $75 a barrel to run the country. They would like to see it stabalize around there and not havie these giant swings. They are developing a new oil field that they had to build a 450 mile pipeline, plus a 150 mile pipeline to the ocean to pump sea water and float the oil. This is on soft sand and used to be unfeasable, now with horizontal drilling, they can do it. They are working on developing technology to burn oil cleanly, it is in their best interest to keep us as a customer. They are also developing solar energy so they can be a net exporter of gigawatts of electricity.
