Northton

The less demand we have the more prices will drop, that is certain.

I think if I had Northtons money I could burn mine and live off him.. ;o)

Meb452m~ Thanks for the dose of reality.... What Meb452m's saying is correct.. I guess the American dream that so many see, is just that a dream. We spend our money on all kinds of electronics, food, entertainment and take gas for granted. Except now those other things we like to do are having to be dwindled because the fuel costs are over riding our present budgets..

IT has already impacted me. I am buying and selling stuff on ebay, and even that market is going dry as buyers aren't bidding like they used to. I also am starting a home based business. I pray it works. It will take some doing, but I've survived for this long, what's a little more?

Of course, gas has been underpriced for years, and we are coming in line, but the rapid rate at which it is happening after being spoiled with cheap gas is going to take a toll, but it will be temporary, but also painful. I look for $5 a gallon gas in the next year or so.

Get a job you bum! LOL

Just kidding. I wish you all the luck.

Like you guys are saying, it's time to tighten the belt for many Americans.

I dunno how long our oil supplies will last, but alternatives are looking better all the time. As you know, I'm a big fan of solar.

How much oil can we get by drilling in the US? How long will it last us?

Who will actually build these alternative energy plants? The oil companies? Seems to me they've been dragging their buttocks on this.

if our president did not have huge financial interest in oil he might of stood up to the oil companies. Gas is already $4 a gallon in daytona... it makes me very angry that the MEDIA has the power to do what ever they want but they choose to ignore this dire matter. When the real estate market took a tumble for the worst every media resource spoke about it until it could sink any more... If we dont talk about its effect then no one will know how drematic it is... We all complain but yet we go to the pump every day... truckers are driving alot slower than you would all think... it is going to take longer for goods to arrive which means we will be paying alot more for EVERYTHING... If We cant afford to buy any goods because the price is too high companies wont afford to stay in business.
its horable that fuel cost are going increasing and all washington does is pass down a classic gimick. a .5% saving for 2 weeks and then back to normal. I mean its bad enough we pay for our governments health insurance what else do they want us to do... IF WE CANT GET TO WORK WE CANT PAY TAXES!!!!!

Thanks signal ! I need groceries, I stop on the way home from work, same for a haircut, Home Ddepot or anything else. I rarely drive out at lunch time. If I do any extra driving, it's when my daughter is wih me and we're doing something together. People are used to treating gas like tap-water, those days are over, and forever ! I try and conserve water and electricity also as that is next !

Don't worry. Hillary or Obama will bring those meany oil companies to thier knees! You just go ahead and bet the farm on that!

Everything will be wonderful!

LOL!

I predict that the us dollar is headed towards the 20,000 yen thing...
1000 dollars for a coke, dinner 100,000 dollars...

Investing in biodiesel and residual income products!!!

Some of the problem with prices is that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, does not allow for 95% of Canada's oil reserves to be claimed when companies report their worth and supplies. "free" markets are great! What a way to reduce our supplies so money men can make money.
