Must be seeing an old post Mike?
I paid $1.81 for a total of $42.00 to fill the 35 gallon tank, that was about 3/4 empty
then went back and filled the Roush with high Octane for $2.19 a gallon

keeping my cars topped off before someone wakes up and smells the crude oil!

$1.71 gallon here in cincinnati

[FLH91]

$1.88 here in Northern MI, however just got a GasBuddy alert saying prices are going up $.20.  Knew it was too good to last.

While these low gas prices as a result of sub 55 and now sub 50 dollars a barrel cude oil are great for filling our trucks, cars, bikes and what every, its bad for many Americans. 

The SD job boom is going bust, as are the companies.  There are masive layoffs.  Halliburton has laid off over 1000 people in 30 days.  Serveral off shore drilling companies have laid off hundereds.  All the major Oil companies have cut capital expendatures 25% or more for 15.  That is construction jobs, that is manufacturing, rig building and so on.  20% o our econimic recovery or more depending on what you read was do to the expansion and growth of oil and gas, now its shrinking fast. 

I just got a 10K cut in my retirement contribution from my emplyoer, why because with these prices, the drilling company lost money.  We have laid people off, and I force pay cuts very soon.

I see the American drilling compines, the smaller ones going out of business as it costs more than 50 a barrel to drill in the USA.  Its 70 to 75 for break even, and closer to 85 in SC fracking.  Saudi saw we were set to produce more oil than they do, so they are flooding the market to drive the price down.  Once we in the USA contract our drilling capabilitys and production, they will reduce their output and drive price back up.

Hey Dave,
It is an interesting predicament we, the USofA find ourselves in. We, as well as the other nations of the world rely heavily on oil. However due in part to our own massive government over regulation and environmental opposition it has become unprofitable to extract our own oil...just as I am sure the powers to be have planned. For decades we as a nation have been neutered to become the oil bitch of the middle east. Whats the answer and at what cost? I do believe we should be using our own oil thence cutting ties with the middle eastern countries. However, if what you say is true then it appears the only way to extract our own oil would be with government subsidies making the down trodden american people picking up the tab once again for yet another unprofitable company/industry...wheres it end???
What you say about the cost of oil going back up after we relax our intent of extracting our own oil is true. Bush2 merely announced intentions of drilling for our own oil and opec or who ever dictates oil prices immediately lowered the price. They have us by the balls and intend to keep it that way.
I am not unsympathetic for your plight Dave, but it appears your situation is the same direction that the country has been headed in for years. I hope it can be worked out for you and our nation. Good Luck to us all...
Hmmm, upon review...am I being a little too overly dramatic???

(it’s related to politics) all what I can say this is new campaign leaded by Arabian Gulf and USA to put more pressure on other governments/country’s.

It looks this time will takes little longer until oil price back to the normal price, by lowering oil price they automatically screwed the black market as well

We moved here in `07, Diggers café was a cute place. currently closed, loved the 30's look to it, neat ceiling fans, OK food.  If your ever coming this way again, give a shout out, would love to meet you.  Randy moved from LA, Ca.  and I from Buffalo, NY to meet in the middle, and because we love racing, plus Randy had a job in the engine building industry, we love it here.

I heard they had closed... third guy from the left in the picture went back to Sturgis this year and stopped by Crawfordsville, went by there and found it had closed. If I ever get out that way again I will definitely let you know. One of the reasons we ended up in Crawfordsville was because it was the closest place to Indiana Speedway (it was a race during the time we were travelling) we could find a couple rooms.

 
Ride Safe,

Haven't paid any attention to be honest. With the bike on the jack for the winter, I don't have any use for high test.
