I filled up my '76 LeMans on Sunday, and 93 octane was still around $2.899. Filled up the Intrepid last night, with 87 octane, for $2.539. So, the prices are holding at least, and not creeping up like they had been.

Gas jumped up $0.20/gallon a few weeks back for no apparent reason, and has now been holding steady for over a week in my area That happened here in Colorado as well - the only difference is that it started out at $2.19/gal and is now around $2.45/gal at my local station.

Energy: We didn't hear the administration crow about it, but Brazil is about to get $10 billion from U.S. taxpayers to develop its offshore oil reserves. It's not a bad idea, but something's still wrong with the big picture. Given how many ratholes our government could pour its money down -- wind farms, switch grass -- it's good to learn some cash is going toward something productive. Last week, Spain's news wire reported that the U.S. Eximbank is raising its stake in Brazil's rich offshore oil fields to as much as $10 billion, from an initial $2 billion. We should get it back IF they make money on the project. It does seem strange that we will subsidize drilling off the coast of Brazil and not the coast of CA or FL.

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 20, 2009 10:48 am) Didn’t his Highness the president say we were going to reduce our dependence on foreign Oil? Isn’t Brazil foreign? Or will we invade and take over the oil fields? This sounds a bit like the “not in our back yard” argument. If off shore drilling was bad what difference would the shore we were drilling off of make? Smoke and mirrors and political trickery. And best yet we the American tax payer once again get the fuzzy end of the sucker. Aren’t we going to have a cash for clunker Lear jets yet? If we use less gas the prices go up. If we use more gas the prices go up so just what difference does it make if we drive econo boxes or Luxo barges? No matter what they stick it to us. The excuse for high prices before was limited supply, turned out to be fertilizer. The excuse now will be over supply and decreased usage? Smells like more fertilizer. |
