Greed will only take you so far, Murphy's Law, what goes up will come down!!

Our consumption is down so much now that reserves are being stored offshore in supertankers. We have an oil glut because we have all stopped driving so much, turned down the thermostat and started conserving on electricity to save money. I personally used 9 fewer tanks of gas in 2008 than in 2007. That's a 28% reduction for us. (23 tanks v 32 tanks). Even if prices stay low I won't be driving any more than I have to no matter what the cost of gas is. Gas prices will recover and go higher eventually, but hopefully by then we will be using far less of it in hybrids, electric cars and new public transportation. We need to permanently reduce our gasoline and oil usage and eliminate it in the next 10-30 years. Petroleum is the past, renewable energy is the future. I plan to embrace the future.

With the economy in the tank it will be hard for oil to really break out. That said, I have put my money where my mouth is so to speak. I just bought gas for the next 12 months here, <a href="http://www.petrofix.com" rel="nofollow">petrofix.com</a>. I would have done 6 months but that would put me right in the middle of summer which I am sure is not a good time to be buying gas. I think gas is going to be mildly higher.

It's a nice break to be paying $1.75 rather than $3.75. Use those savings to increase your fuel efficiency and set yourself up well in the long run.

They'll keep manipulating the prices to keep it down to make us believe the economy is OK. As if we didn't all already know in our guts that inflation is rampant and the whole system is heading for a crash. (See shadowstats.com to get an idea for what inflation really is) Also I highly recommend Chris Martenson's Crash Course to get a real idea of what's coming down the line.

They pay by the liter and not by the gallon to make the "bite" less stingy. I do believe that the price of gas will rise again soon.

I hope I can figure out where the rest of it is! I think I subscribed. I'm fairly new at this. Anyway, a couple of years ago I bought some kind of Ethos product or something that was suppose to save on gas, but I was too afraid to use it and it's still in my shed. Do you know anything about that? I think they went out of business. Nathan Good article Brian. I hope I can figure out where the rest of it is! I think I subscribed. I’m fairly new at this.

OPEC will reduce production short term but commodity prices will rebound. We have to import lots of oil. We reached and passed our domestic production peak in 1973. The Alaska pipeline saved us some agony for a while but that is dried up and we don't have alternatives. We will allow oil companies to tear up offshore but that will take years and make them some short term profits but do noting for the energy crisis. Countries without their own oil paid more than $6 per gallon for years now. I believe gas will go higher. OPEC will reduce production short term but commodity prices will rebound.
