Again, I don't believe it's possible to have intelligent discourse on this subject sans politics. And I don't mean whether one party will or won't drill. Politics affects oil, and that is the subject, like it or not, affects oil prices in many ways, from many countries' Middle East policies, to the value of our dollar, to Israel/Iran, and on and on.

Supply and demand influences on price enter at a different level. That is, that factor influences only the price resulting from the political aspects.

Wind, solar, geothermal, wave energy currently have minor, if any, effect on prices.

NG is another story. There you have real potential for keeping billions of dollars onshore. But, again, politics!

Either we continue trying to keep this thread interesting by skirting the edges of what is permissible, or abandon it to those content with reporting a number they saw on a gas station sign on the way to work this morning.

I'm using Gas Buddy for the current fuel price as it is safer. In my (senior) mind, worldly politics play a role in fuel prices, but we'll leave it at that.....:R

OK, local gasoline prices are inching closer to that magical $4.00 mark. After leaping 10¢ a gallon last Friday, prices at some stations have inched upward from $3.97 to $3.99 a gallon. Diesel remains about 20¢ a gallon more expensive. Hey, I thought the "driving season" was over......:B
