Calculate the price of gasoline in gold or silver compared to past prices in gold or silver and you’ll have your answer.

Replacing oil imported from overseas, sending less dollars to fund our enemies.

In 2008, when gasoline prices averaged in the US over $4/gal, we imported 5.8 million barrels per day from OPEC. We started 2014 importing 3.1 million barrels per day from OPEC.

We still import nearly as much crude oil as we produce ourselves. But it is improving.

Some of it is being exported as gasoline and diesel. Or as the Fuel Fix article 3 days ago stated: exporting a tidal wave of gasoline and other fuels.
