    Those ARABS might have picked a fight they cannot win.......

    According to this article, US companies can sustain 40 dollar/barrel prices for at least 6 months. AT 40 a barrel, all those ARAB countries are losing about 2/3 of their revenue. Maybe they will start drinking the ****........

    24 month Oil Futures have dropped about 10 dollars from when I first posted this to the thread.

    Futures don't always tell the story, but it is a good indicator. These are probably within 10-20% of the real price, because if they were not, people would be losing a CRAP TON of money on those contracts.

    this is like old times, I have a f-150 ford with the triton V8 and it only gets 16 mpg, don't use it much other than towing my boat, so I bought a Toyota Prius Hybrid to run around in. great little car, rides and drives good, and if I keep it 70 or under it gets 49 mpg, get this with the under 2 bucks a gallon gas. I have a cousin that lives on Okeechobee lake, so I was off work a couple weeks at Christmas and took off to Okeechobee in my hybrid, round trip was 1,858 miles, ran 75 and 80 most of the way, topped the tank off at each fill up and it took 41 gallons for the round trip to Okeechobee fl for around 90 bucks. that was getting 46 mpg, I don't know where to thank Toyota or Obama or Both.

    I hope it extends through the fall...........I have already decided to go 5 or 6 times in the spring, even though I thought I could not afford it. with Gas at 1/2 the price, it makes it definitely within the budget.

    AND In the fall, I just might go every weekend from Laborday to Christmas.

    I'm with you on hoping the gas prices hold, I really didn't think I would ever see under 2 bucks a gallon gas again, it sure is nice.
