I don?t know if you heard about the latest gas prices reduction

Last week there was a royal announcement to reduce the gas prices in the kingdom!!!

The price of the gallon now is 0.16cents (LOL)

Last I filled my tank for $9... This is ridiculous... Gas is now literary cheaper than water?

I will think of you folks in the Kingdom, next time I drink my cheaper than gas "Designer water". Damn I just paid $55.00 for my last fill up. This sucks. Where's my alternate fuel source? Damn politicians. We need to drill more off shore oil reserves and make more nuclear power plants.

Try filling a GMC Yukon Denali. Cost about $90 a tank ful. That beast gulps the gas. I know I know I bought the thing. Not complaining just comparing the level of pain.

Still the US prices are much cheaper than they pay in Europe. Must be $9 a gallon or more over there.

I paid the equivalent of $1.91 a litre at Tibshelf motorway services last week (North of Nottingham in the UK)

The USA situation is interesting - someone was telling me the other day that USA still import a lot of oil.

It seems that in addition to the strategic reserve they are deliberately hanging onto their own oil supply for future use.

The USA and the Middle East are going to be the only places with oil left in 30 years - scary aint it.

Well, not in 30 years, but close to that, like 300 maybe...Don't forget about Russia and Norway. Their oil resources/reserves are bigger than US.
