Venezuala is also getting hit with this shit.
All part of the Saud's evil plan. Mostly they want to fuck with the Shia.

Saudis figure that they can hold out for at least 5 years at current levels due to their financial reserves at their current spending levels.Not sure how much longer the Saudis can run a budget deficit before North Dakota folds. I am just going to sit back and burn more carbon until then.
Why, the Oil Thugs, of course.
One financial news station priced what oil was selling for, and the OPEC nations were selling much less a barrel than the US or Canada or Mexico.
In other words kiddies, if the oil thing was all up to American sourced oil, we'd still be paying $3.50+ a gallon. And more realistically, $4+ a gallon.
So we can thank OPEC for our low oil prices, and ONLY OPEC.
If we had indeed DRILL BABY DRILL-ed our way into oil independence as republicans wanted us to do, we'd see $4+ a gallon gas now and forever more. More likely $5+.
Oil Thugs! See how easy this is?And if/when prices skyrocket?
Republican controlled state governments in short time will start talking of tacking on excessive taxes on gas at the pump. Especially as gas prices are falling, republican controlled local government won't like the average Joe getting a break.
They never have.
They will hike those gas taxes and have you paying $3.50 a gallon in no time, regardless.

What do you suppose is responsible for this drastic drop in prices?

And who are the Oil Thugs?
Everyone in the world except Dave!

I say enjoy this while it lasts. And F-ck the stock market.
They will figure other ways to steal your 401K dollars, low gas or high gas.
Just sit back, stay calm, and everybody relax.
Enjoy the savings.
Take a family vacation in the SUV.
And thank God for competition. The only thing saving our butts from $5 gas.
However, do beware.

The down side, when oil starts rising again you still have those new gas taxes.
And that simply means $6 a gallon at the pump after the good times end.
Read your local news papers, especially in republican controlled states.
If your republican governors and legislators are not already pushing for new gas taxes, your not looking close enough or reading the fine print.
I know a couple teachers who would hate that graph - min = 45, max = 48.5.
Here we go.
I'm sure gas here will rocket up 30 or 40 cents tonight or more.

my neighbor just bought a Volkswagen TDI. When gas was so expensive he wanted to buy a diesel bc of miles he drives. Unfortunately diesel has not dropped in price like gas in my area, he seen all those mileage improvements basically be erased. Doh!
Wonders will never cease, McOwned would normally rail on those rich people who can afford high performance vehicles but now he feels bad about them paying higher prices for premium gas.
Though premium gas is below $2.50/gal in many states.
