Homemade tortillas are awesome. My mom is 1/2 Hispanic so she knows how to cook Mexican food. We could have had a CNG distribution plant at the house every couple of weeks.

I just wish that some sort of a 'logic' played in to this whole array of pricing. It's not a wonder that the American public feels like they're getting gouged with record profits for the oil companies and oddball spikes in price when the price per barrel is going down.
Same here yesterday morning $3.70 range and by end of day yesterday $3.85. Doesn't make since to me either.

they know the profits are going to drop off so they are going to soak you for as much as possible before it goes in the toilet

The reason for the price drop is that Americans are driving less and driving more fuel efficient vehicle. As we see these lowering prices, people will start to drive more and will fire up their SUVs once again. A perfect reason for Oil prices to go back up....

What does this mean? People most continue to minimize driving and continue to invest in alternatives....force the oil companies to give us what we want.

I say it is even a better time to drill the purpose to drill in anwar is not just prices it is also to insulate us from fluctuations and dependence on foreign oil so no we still need to drill just as often and as much as possible

Oil companies don't set the price of oil. Are they making huge profits from it? Absolutely! They are quick to raise gas prices when the cost of oil goes up and very slow to lower gas prices when oil falls but in the end it all revolves around the cost of oil per barrel.

I can't see oil going much below $90 a barrel ever again. Demand is still high in China and increasing. The instability of the middle east countries that have most of the supply will always keep prices higher than what they could be. They are not going to stop killing each other and starting fights with everyone else ever. Oil is a non renewable resource, we only have so much and it is getting harder and harder to find. The costs to get it out of ground have also increased dramatically. It is nice to see it come down but there are too many factors that will keep the price from falling too much.
