gas prices to drop to $1.15 gal.

Analyst predicts plunge in gas prices
By Kevin G. Hall

McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — The recent sharp drop in the global price of crude oil could mark the start of a massive sell-off that returns gasoline prices to lows not seen since the late 1990s — perhaps as low as $1.15 a gallon.

"All the hurricane flags are flying" in oil markets, said Philip Verleger, a noted energy consultant who was a lone voice several years ago in warning that oil prices would soar. Now, he says, they appear to be poised for a dramatic plunge.

Crude-oil prices have fallen about $14, or roughly 17 percent, from their July 14 peak of $78.40. After falling seven straight days, they rose slightly Wednesday in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, to $63.97, partly in reaction to a government report showing fuel inventories a bit lower than expected. But the overall price drop is expected to continue, and prices could fall much more in the weeks and months ahead.

On Tuesday I saw a Station in Abilene at 2.21.......when I get back home it is frickin 2.61 in S'water and thats 40 miles difference!

[kaorder1999]

we'll see. i dont believe it

[Txbroadcaster]

I dont know if it goes that low..but it will prob drop back below the 2.00 mark

Again everyone complains about Big oil companies in America, it is not them, it is the global market setting the prices.

[kaorder1999]

i dont trust anyone when it comes to high gas prices...I hate the fact that is one town it can be 2.30 and 5 miles away or even less it can be 2.65. That is what makes me mad

It's about .12/gallon (yes twelve cents) in Venezuela. That's more the exception than the rule, though.

[EricDraven]

Said with a dry, crackly southern accent "When I wuz a yungin', gas was 87 cents a gallon and we walked uphill ta git it"

[STANG RED]

I just went by a station in Abilene. Gas was $2.26, but Deisel was still at $2.85. How do they justify that?

Your right about it being the execption, because they produce a good % of the oil for the world

Which by the way is ironic...Most Oil bearing countries are run by dictators, and that is where they get their money..so in a way, the consumer's of the world help bankroll alot of dictators and terroist groups

Yeah, especially when regular gasoline derives from further refining of diesel....Basically this means that it takes more work to produce regular unleaded.

Dropped to $2.09 last night in Huntsville.

Just drove in to College Station (52 miles down the road) and it's still in the $2.60's.

I saw it at 2.38 out here in North Carolina but it is steadily dropping. 1.15 would be great but I won't believe it until I see it. President Bush doesn't control the gas prices, however, it really does drive the point home how vulnerable we are to OPEC. All it would take for a massive resurgence in gas prices is either Iran or Venezuela to become destablized. We really need to get away from fossil fuels.

[Sweetwater96]

The gas is $2.05 up here in Missouri. I wish gas would go that low $1.15 (I'll believe it when I see it). I'm happy to see the lower prices. Growing up I never thought I'd see gas at $2 a gallon, now experience it at almost $3, $2 seems nice, LOL.

there are things bush could do to control prices. nixon put a cap on oil prices when he was in office and even balanced the national debt. we may need opec but since we are opec's best customers they need us just as much.

Nixon was granted the powers to do so. President Ford also signed legislation. Actually during the Clinton years, President Clinton sold our strategic reserve oil because it had reached a 5 year high. Everyone thinks the economy was so good during his tenure. Not so, he cut the military in half, saving billions and billions of dollars and sold our strategic reserve to combat oil prices. It had a crippling effect on the military in general and to this day we still feel the repercussions in here. It also hurt our "war stock" of fuel such as we need now. However, for the short term gain he managed to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public. All Presidents have been faced with a crisis when it comes to oil. The only solution is for us to be independent of this type of fuel.
The current congress both Republican and Democrat have never brought this to the floor for President Bush to be granted the same powers as Nixon. Whenever the Middle East has become unstable at anytime during the history of OPEC it has drove the market through the roof.

I still think it could. This whole situation reminds me of the oil shortage back in the 70's, when several of the biggest oil-producing nations were at war. When, or if, the Middle East settles down oil prices will go back down.

Get real.. I see what political party you are for.. ha blaiming the last guy for the new president's mistakes..

Clinton's presidency included the longest period of economic growth in America's history...

The Clinton presidency left America with record economic growth and prosperity:

* Average economic growth of 4.0 percent per year, compared to average growth of 2.8 percent during the previous years. The economy grew for 116 consecutive months, the most in history.
* Creation of more than 22.5 million jobs—the most jobs ever created under a single administration, and more than were created in the previous 12 years. Of the total new jobs, 20.7 million, or 92 percent, were in the private sector.
* Economic gains spurred an increase in family incomes for all Americans. Since 1993, real median family income increased by $6,338, from $42,612 in 1993 to $48,950 in 1999 (in 1999 dollars).
* Overall unemployment dropped to the lowest level in more than 30 years, down from 6.9 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in January 2001. The unemployment rate was below 5 percent for 40 consecutive months. Unemployment for African Americans fell from 14.2 percent in 1992 to 7.3 percent in 2000, the lowest rate on record. Unemployment for Hispanics fell from 11.8 percent in October 1992 to 5.0 percent in 2000, also the lowest rate on record.
* Inflation dropped to its lowest rate since the Kennedy Administration, averaging 2.5 percent, and fell from 4.7 percent during the previous administration.
* The homeownership rate reached 67.7 percent near the end of the Clinton administration, the highest rate on record. In contrast, the homeownership rate fell from 65.6 percent in the first quarter of 1981 to 63.7 percent in the first quarter of 1993.
* The poverty rate also declined from 15.1 percent in 1993 to 11.8 percent in 1999, the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years. This left 7 million fewer people in poverty than there were in 1993.
* The surplus in fiscal year 2000 was $237 billion—the third consecutive surplus and the largest surplus ever.
* President Clinton reached across the aisle and worked with the Republican-led Congress to enact welfare reform. As a result, welfare rolls dropped dramatically and were the lowest since 1969. Between January 1993 and September of 1999, the number of welfare recipients dropped by 7.5 million (a 53 percent decline) to 6.6 million. In comparison, between 1981-1992, the number of welfare recipients increased by 2.5 million (a 22 percent increase) to 13.6 million people.

All this with no war, and Gas prices staying the same..

The biggist difference now is a four letter word + one. CHINA.
War or no war, this is a very different situation than it was back in the 70's. I personally don't expect us to see gas prices reach an average much below $2.00.

clinton created all those jobs at the expense of this nation. he's responsible for all the debt we're in. he started all kinds of crap he couldnt afford. kind of like cuero building new schools and not having the money for it and then having to cut so many things out of their budget.

He sold half of our military off as you cannot dispute the numbers in todays military. The downsizing actually started during President Bush Sr's tenure, but President Clinton took it to new heights. When you're not spending money on defense it is really easy to have a good economy.

That is a San Francisco mentality of not having a military. You should never cut your military in half. That was irresponsible to do during the 90's. I understand why they were cutting back since the Soviets had collapsed but they went too far. A strong military is paramount to American influence throughout the world. A 1/3 of all of our money is pumped into the military, so it is with reason that by cutting your military in half you would save trillions of dollars. However, at whose expense?

The deal is Cuba can drill off our coast but due to the eco nuts we are not allowed to drill in parts of the Gulf of Mexico. They literally are stealing our oil. The tree huggers also won't let us drill up in Alaska. It makes us really dependent on Middle Eastern Oil. We haven't built a refinery in the past 25 years due to these environmental whacko's. They have made it impossible for us to use our own resources.

....all that with his head in the sand as far as terrorist activities. All that with that woman....Monica Lewinsky with her head in his crotch. All that while prohibiting intelligence agencies from communicating with each other regarding terrorist activities. All that while gratifying himself in OUR White House. All that while lobbing multi million dollar cruise missiles into a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan to divert attention from his whoremongering with Moanica.

* Economic gains spurred an increase in family incomes for all Americans. Since 1993, real median family income increased by $6,338, from $42,612 in 1993 to $48,950 in 1999 (in 1999 dollars).
* Overall unemployment dropped to the lowest level in more than 30 years, down from 6.9 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in January 2001. The unemployment rate was below 5 percent for 40 consecutive months. Unemployment for African Americans fell from 14.2 percent in 1992 to 7.3 percent in 2000, the lowest rate on record. Unemployment for Hispanics fell from 11.8 percent in October 1992 to 5.0 percent in 2000, also the lowest rate on record.
* Inflation dropped to its lowest rate since the Kennedy Administration, averaging 2.5 percent, and fell from 4.7 percent during the previous administration.
* The homeownership rate reached 67.7 percent near the end of the Clinton administration, the highest rate on record. In contrast, the homeownership rate fell from 65.6 percent in the first quarter of 1981 to 63.7 percent in the first quarter of 1993.
* The poverty rate also declined from 15.1 percent in 1993 to 11.8 percent in 1999, the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years. This left 7 million fewer people in poverty than there were in 1993.
* The surplus in fiscal year 2000 was $237 billion—the third consecutive surplus and the largest surplus ever.
* President Clinton reached across the aisle and worked with the Republican-led Congress to enact welfare reform. As a result, welfare rolls dropped dramatically and were the lowest since 1969. Between January 1993 and September of 1999, the number of welfare recipients dropped by 7.5 million (a 53 percent decline) to 6.6 million. In comparison, between 1981-1992, the number of welfare recipients increased by 2.5 million (a 22 percent increase) to 13.6 million people.

All this with no war, and Gas prices staying the same..

lol
Welfare grew from '82 to '92 do to the Democratic control of congress. When the conservatives took over in '94 that's what allowed the economy to grow and comprehensive legistation to help stabilize all the good things of the '90s.
Believe all that liberal air-head America stuff all you want. It still doesn't make it true.:p :hand:

What Clinton did do is lead America to a state of moral depravity and make friends with terrorists states like Saudia Arabia. He get's paid 100 grand or more a pop now to give speeches preaching against America now. His administration had a chance to take out Osoma bin laden but they didn't do it cuz they had no idea what the heck they were doing, unless it involved giving missile technolgy to communist China. Go ahead, celebrate him if you must but he is a traitor in many Americans' eyes. His actions prove it, but it is never pursued. :doh: :hand:

I agree Sinton Fan - Clinton did more to hurt this country than you can shake a stick at but he is revered with the Democratic Party. In 1993 when they bombed the World Trade Center's he did nothing. The Khobar Tower bombing in Saudi Arabia he did nothing. Later in July TWA flight 800 he did nothing. In 1998 the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed.....the Clinton response - Nothing. In 2000 when they bombed the U.S.S. Cole he did nothing as they killed the sons and daughters of America. Al Qaida became emboldened on his watch as the West would not give a response to Terrorism.
You know it really burns me up we finally get a President who is willing to get rid of these terrorist and all the Democrats can do is undermine this guy. They NEVER offer a solution to the War on Terror but they tout how they have "a plan". Cutting and running or no response is not a plan and it is a coward’s death.

Keith that is true. Actually it is 83%; however, one reason for this is because in October of 2005 Republicans tried to get legislation enacted to build more refineries and Democrats blocked it. We have lost over 1/2 of our refineries in this nation since 1982 but yet the demand for oil has increased. Democrats attacked a bill that would have us build more refinery capability. The Republicans tried to get this through to meet the demands after Katrina wrecked the Gulf Coast. It wasn't always this one sided for contributions, but in the past two years it has become.

There isn't a shortage of gasoline or oil, not even close, there is simply becoming a monopoly in the oil business as competition is diminishing. Shell, Chevron, Exxon-Mobil, and BP are among a few of the remaining large oil companies left, either merging with smaller companies or simply buying them up. With the majority of the oil controlled by a few, they can set the price at whatever they want and know that their competitors will do the same. I look at oil as I look at diamonds. Diamonds are more abundant than gold, and are not rare by any means. The only thing that keeps the price high is the ironclad grip that a certain few have on the control of the mines. A steady control of the flow and prices of oil is the only thing that is keeping the price up. If it were so hard for the oil companies to drill for oil, why are they making record profits in the billions?

I do agree with this statement. It goes right back to President Bush does not control oil prices. The federal government lobbies a serious tax on it as well as the state. North Carolina is 30.15 in state gas tax and the federal government is 18.4 cents. I think Texas is around 20 cents on the state gas tax. The Oil companies, federal government, and the state all are dipping their hands in this.
The gas tax originally in 1935 was started to fund our general revenues, in 1956 it changed and went to fund the Highways. Then in 1982 it shifted to also include the Transit fund. The gas hikes of 1990, 1993, and 1997 further expanded where this money was allocated to. A small portion now goes to other trust funds.
It really boils down to can the federal government control profits by independent companies?

Are you talking about when Bush was tops in the CIA? Back then they were trying to keep communist Russia from having such a sweeping influence in the Middle East. Things were done with the Cold War in mind at that time. That lil puppy had a whole different context when Saddam ascended to power. What does that have to do with Clinton giving speeches against our nation now? Nothing... was that an attempt to circumvent what I earlier posted?

How did that peice of legislation work out?
It seems to me Clinton avoided making the hard choices because it might have had a negative effect on the polls.:o
If he had taken action when it was needed back then he would have done a great job. He had and still has the backing
of most major media outlets and his gift for speaking would have allowed the American people to him back up. We could have avoided this mess now and I would have backed up my President then in a time of war. Now, leftists just look for ways to undermine the President because if he is successful that could very well spell doom for the Democratic party.

Bush approval rating are low because of the constant negative criticism from darn near every form of media. Add all the left-wing loony blogs coming up with millions of conspiracies and agenda-pushed opinions how could he not have such a low rating?

Was that first sentence a typo? lol

Look your Democratic leaders chose to go to war based on the same information that the President had. Now a few years later they are trying to blame Bush not on bad info. They seek to take advantage of the present situation and claim they had nothing to do with it. They had much more to do with us now in Iraq than they now admit. Why admit they voted for us to go to war now? They won't as they are recklessly trying to win over votes by making Bush the scapegoat. Now all the theories of conspiracies about gas prices abound and what evidence does anyone have about it? None. Just a bunch of rhetoric based on nothing but conjecture and politically motivated drivel.:(

Remember he had no qualms using this stuff in 1998 against the Kurds killing thousands. He shot at our pilots over 400 times and tried to state sponsor an assassination on an American President. There has been a lot of misinformation about WMD in Iraq. This is what was found in Iraq and you can see this on a web link which is accessible to the general public
http://www.humanevents.com/sarticle.php?id=10101&o=DIB004:

1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
1500 gallons of chemical weapons
Roadside bombs filled with Sarin Gas
1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs
17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin

As opposed to what the media has said, we were greeted with people lining the streets and they were very happy we were there. Most of the Iraqi's are super people; they really are. Partner you can believe if we lose this war or cut and run before we finish your life as well as mine will drastically change. If we pull out too early these aren't the type of folks who go back to making bread and living a normal life.

There has been a lot of misinformation about WMD in Iraq. This is what was found in Iraq and you can see this on a web link which is accessible to the general public
http://www.humanevents.com/sarticle.php?id=10101&o=DIB004:

1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
1500 gallons of chemical weapons
Roadside bombs filled with Sarin Gas
1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs
17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin

As opposed to what the media has said, we were greeted with people lining the streets and they were very happy we were there. Most of the Iraqi's are super people; they really are. Partner you can believe if we lose this war or cut and run before we finish your life as well as mine will drastically change. If we pull out too early these aren't the type of folks who go back to making bread and living a normal life.

Media?? Please !!!!! I have a text book to prove it !!! The textbook states that the CIA at FIRST thought that Iraq had WMD but then later they said evidence showed they didn't and the Andministration still decided to invade Iraq!!! This is what it says in my textbook that they are teaching in gov't classes in college!!!! Not the media!!! and the that CIA spy get outted !!!! I wonder why???? Yeah the Rep. will say that the head of the CIA was clinton's guy!!! WHich he was but IMO thats an excuse!!! They are so quick the point the finger at the guy before!!! Your the leader take the responsibility!!!!!!!!!!!

I said contrare to what the media reported we were greeted with open arms and they did line the streets and greeted us. I didn't say I read it in a textbook.........I was in it.

Last word whore! :eek: :p

It was $2.43 down the road from me. At the Wal-mart on Bandera this evening(about 6 miles from me the price was $2.24 for cash).

[shankbear]

Well it was too good to last. the price of a barrel of oil has climbed over a dollar today. Who will be the first to lay blame and upon whom will they lay it?

Is it the FatCats? Bigoil? Speculators?

[pirate44]

$2.09 on the hill and several other i37 (cc area) locations

[piratebg]

I think it was 2.19 or 2.16 in Sinton this morning and 2.13 in Portland. I may be wrong though. As long as it keeps going down, I don't care. It's better than 2.89 or whatever it was 2 weeks ago.

[District303aPastPlayer]

had friends tell me it was 2.03 at some places in corpus...

[BHBrave08]

I saw gas for $2.05 in Baytown yesterday.

i had to write an interesting paper for school about ethics, I found a blog about gas prices, I gave my opinion on it, along with some research. Here is the website. It has the original blog, then my response. Very interesting, worth looking at!!!
