It's nice that they're low for the time being. It's a nice break for the average folks.

Gas is around 2.60/reg in my part of CT. It's normally higher in CT since we have higher state taxes.

The oil-producing nations seem to be pissed at each other, nobody is willing to limit production even to raise prices.

How low can it go? Maybe lots lower because this is economic warfare against Russia. Just wait until Americans are told we need to bail out the too big to fail oil companies and all of the derivatives. Think they would wage economic warfare on their dime? The Saudis have more money than God so they can ride this out for years.

low income, broke, poor etc, and everyone else is enjoying it, too, but we will pay in the end because this is a weapon in economic warfare that could end up in a shooting war plus bailouts.

BTW, the Saudis already threatened Russia with terrorists. For now they and the west are doing this but the terrorists are waiting in the wings. These are much more dangerous times than most people realize.

I use premium, so I was surprised that it was only $34 for me to fill up last week.

there's no real incentive now to keep a full tank when the price may drop even further tomorrow.

The Saudis are trying to eviscerate their economies in retaliation for Iran's nuclear program and Russia and Iran supporting Assad in Syria.
