Put in 10 gallons @ $1.38 per gallon last night...in the Lou. (St.Louis, MO) For the metrically inclined 10 gallons is about 38 liters.
But, but, but dividing by ten is sooooo hard! We just can't comprehend it... Gas this morning at the Chevron $2.49 for regular. That's per gallon for those of us who can't(or prefer not to) divide by ten.
We're at $1.69 at BJ's Wholesale (like Sam's), but local gas stations WAWA, Sheetz and others have increased about $0.10 up to between $1.80-$1.85/gallon.
I paid $ 1.79 at BJ's late last week and the Citco near me has it at $1.79 and Cumberland Farms Gas Food Stops have it at $1.78 this afternoon.
Yeah, but we are talking about conversion, not calculation within said system. Converting to and from imperial is definitely not 10-based.
Way to complicated then. MAYBE if we could just divide or multiply by ten to get there. Wait, I know, I could make an App for that.
heh yeah. if you could make an app that sends a quick estimate of how long something is right to my brain, without having to grab a measuring tape, that would help too.
$1.43 at a couple ARCOs around town, none near me. I know that because local TV announces gas prices with the traffic report each morning. I paid $1.54 last time I filled up. I can remember the good ol' days when Bush was around and it was over $4. Good things happen when you aren't blowing the invasion horns all the time.
That's not bad... The gas station I use Thorntons will give you 10 cents off a gallon if you have their card (it's not membership or anything and it's free) so gas is really $1.57.
Well, low prices are good for the economy, but at the same time oil is a really tricky situation on so many levels... There are many scenarios going through my mind..... But I hope oil prices are low because ISIS wants to seize the oil fields in the ME and by dropping prices we're making the concept of seizing the oil fields not worth it or at least not worth it to their limited minds... Then again economies are crashing and their main exports (like oil) are being pumped to no end to keep their economies afloat which floods the market and lowers prices....Also, this could be a means of regulation of our own US dollar or economies in general.... It's a weird situation, it's not like the oil companies are being nice....
In Oklahoma we think oil companies are nice people We appreciate them. When things crash like this we have the attitude of "yeah, its nice at the pump....I hope I'm not layed off" Its not correct to think of simply oil companies...you also have the draftsmen who are employed to do the survey drawings,the piping companies that supply the mode of transportation, the engineers that work with the contractors....all separate from the "Oil Company" but a part of the general industry and they are laid off. Talk to a Liquor store today who said that sales were bad because of the oil situation. Not sure it THAT is true...but it does depress our economy. Luckily we have some diversity. But on another note....I hear the government is considering taxing $10 a barrel for extra income. So could be we will pay more and lose our jobs.
Well, of course there are many oil jobs - I just thought "oil company" was vague enough to cover them all... IMHO, I have no idea what is happening, but oil prices don't plunge like this for no reason.... I think it has to do with QE, and this is an attempt to minimize inflation - not only in the US but globally.
. People think "Big Oil" but in reality we are talking about multitudes of small and medium companies in the industry. I don't know....I heard that our shale oil was hurting middle east and so OPEC flooded the market in a war of sorts....but don't have a grasp on it.
"Big Oil" goes from everyone from the geologists to the people working at the counter selling gas... It's a process like every other product... People don't understand that all businesses are really connected....
The same station I gassed up at 2 days ago (Quiktrip) is now at $1.59 It seems to fluctuate .15 to .20 cents every day
Yeah, I agree. When the U.S. oil fellas are being undercut in the world market, heads gotta roll. That was the reason (well, one of the two reasons) Saddam had to go. You get invasions, assassinations of ministers and heads of state, all sorts of bad (*)(*)(*)(*) happens when oil gets this cheap.
