I’m all for the economy doing better but not at my expense. Gas prices are already inflated way too much. Maybe you are rich and it doesn’t affect you any. But for a blue collar man like myself, I want the gas prices as low as possible.
I work in the oil and gas industry and would love to see oil at $70 and natural gas at $4.
LOL, nope not rich at all, I am lower middle class, just know we need the industry to be doing well, if we want the economy to improve. This a lot like the guns do or don't kill people, or like politics or religion. You either think about yourself or think about the future, I want my kids to have a good long future.
No kidding. I get .05 a gallon off the pump price.
We do need higher oil prices. I have been working up Wilshire and Western area this week. From 235 west to Western, I would bet half of the office and warehouse locations are for rent. Both office buildings on the east corners of Western have for rent signs.
For lunch today I went south on Western from Wilshire. From there to Chesapeake at 63rd, probably 10 for rent signs. Not good if you understand trickle down economics. Less businesses, less employees, less taxable income for the state, less customers for my services. Giant freaking circle like the tidy bowl man.
Automation, ya that's why! Maybe we need to automate our Congress and State Legislature. We dont need more laws. Place a moritorium on Law making, let the robots rubber stamp what's there. Bet we could save a few hundred billion in no time.

Most of the time I till up once a month with .25 cents off for up to 60 gallons. This month I get three codes each week for ten cents off per gallon added on to the 5 cents I already get. Gonna have some extra codes I won't be using since I can't use that much fuel in a month anyway.
So the money saved by average families on lower fuel prices doesn't go into the economy in other areas?
Gotcha. It just disappears into thin air.

There's a lot of folks out there thinking there's a huge conspiracy to drive prices up. Does anybody really think all the actors could even get on the same page and create one? Oil and gas pricing couldn't possibly have anything to do with demand, production, capacity on the lines to Cushing, OK, Waha, TX or any other completely normal explanation. If it could be controlled you'd see pricing far above the $62 and $2.73 today.
The economy would be fine if OK didn't put all its eggs in one basket (the energy basket)...
Update: We went to St. George today and fueled up at Costco. 10% ethanol in regular unleaded was $2.359.
