It means the oil-producing states are going to be in a world of hurt in addition to the virus impact. Terrible.

It means China (the largest importer of oil) is getting cheap oil, while the USA, the largest producer of oil, is getting screwed.

Filled up yesterday for 1.59 a gallon. We have taken advantage of these low prices to go on a couple of day trips or just get outta the house for a while.

It means cheap petroleum products for the near future and lots of layoffs in the oil industry.

I have seen this cycle many times.

Sign of a world-wide depression.

I’m watching the price of non-ethanol gasoline. I’ll stock up when it goes below $2.00/gal. I can store that.

I just filled up with 87 pump octane unleaded for US$2.15 per gallon—in California, of all things!!

We get to see the amount of taxes that we are paying for a gallon of gas.

$1.12 per gallon in Dacula

With my Kroger Fuel points, I paid .12 cents per gallon. Filled my truck that is for sure.

This $10-$11-12.29 price exists in the (in 1 day) expiring MAY contract.
The JUN contract is trading more like 22.7x - 22.8x

I don’t know enough to say what this means, even tho I trade oil now and again. How there can be a $10 difference in the MAY vs JUN futures contract, I have no explanation, none.

But I DO see volume in the May contract. Normal traders/specs would no longer be trading it. Maybe you get an instant delivery notice if you’re filled on a buy! Hope you got some big ass storage tanks or an empty tanker available (no doubt; some do)

Right now oil is at about 23 bucks a barrel. At no time did the WTI price drop to 11.

Here in New (Tax Me to Death) Jersey, I paid $1.91 yesterday.

Of course, we’re not going anywhere, so that gas will last a month. By the time I fill up again, it’ll be well into the $2.50 range.

I DESPISE New Jersey. Getting outahere as soon as I can.

It means that after 20 years, the oil and gas industries will no longer be propping up the U S economy. Which industry will take their place?

Eliminate and/or reduce gas taxes and we may have .33 cents per gallon gas again.

The temptation will be there to do the opposite and raise gas taxes to $2.00 or more per gallon, and keep fuel prices high.

Were Obama president and democrats were in control of congress and states, gas taxes would have been raised thru the roof.

What it means is great losses to our oil producers and mass unemployment.
