No need for a scope for that shot.

I remember when regular gasoline was 22 cents per gallon and a bbl of crude was around $5.
That was when I first go my CDL in 1968.
And we are all so happy to see in under $2/gal.
TooFunny!

I pumped $180.
Pumped about 75 gallons into the tanks on the 26' truck I drive at work.

$1.95 per gallon most places here in my section of western Wisconsin. I'll be honest; I never expected to see gasoline this cheap again.
Of course, it's gonna hurt all over again when it finally starts climbing back to where it was last year at this time. And you know that's gotta happen sooner or later.

Unlikely. Demand most likely is down for good. More and more alternatives to fossil fuels are available. And the COP21 accord will also further reduce demand.
The end of the age of fossil fuels is drawing near.

yep, and we have the tech to get oil in ways that were not possible in the past, the US and Canada are the major producers of these alternative oil recovery methods now, but they are not the only nations to have these newly accessible reserves
we will transition to solar wind and eco friendly hydro power, it s only a matter of time and trial and error.
I m a huge fan of solar, but chopping down forests to build solar farms is not the way it will end up being used, for the most part
solar farms will be fine in phoenix or desert or scrub land, but the future of solar lies in individual home and business use and independent production.
we have all these rooftops just sitting there doing nothing. they beg for solar panels. storage battery tech is improving as we speak.
the future of hydro lies in smaller turbines as well. the dams are great producers but destroy our eco systems and wild life, and when they do fail, as I expect the three gorges project to do, they will wreak havoc and carnage. the futre lies in tidal and river flow turbines, smaller local apps, not bigger.
and the wind do blow...
right now I think we should use our oil, OUR oil, to ease the transition to alternative, which is why I support keystone. I know that keystone is mostly Canadian oil right now, but it won t remain so, and helping Canada, helps us, in my view

$2.17/gal around here. I do get some cents off if we spend enough at stop-n-shop, so sometimes it's under $2. NJ always is about fifty-sixty cents cheaper than NY, AND they pump your gas for you.
