Julio 02-11-2003 07:41 PM

I can see now, instead of asking people to bring their own beer, I'll be telling them to bring their credit card!
It looks like it is going to get worse before it gets better. I wish Shell would give their employees a discount on gas!

h2owarrior 02-13-2003 01:01 AM

Bush needs to do something !!!!
 
It is time for GW to start really leading. All this focus on Iraq is going to kill our economy. I am not suggesting that the threat GW is trying to squelch in Iraq is not real. I think it is and we need to take care of that situation.

But why is no one saying anything about the Venezual ( I know it's spelled wrong) situtaion:confused: That is why our fuel prices are going out of sight.

The economy is shaky at best. If we have to absord these kinds of fuel prices for more than a month or so look out. You think people have stoppped buying stuff now, wait until they realize how much it is costing them to just drive to the greocery store. This is a huge issue that if not resolved in short order will cause a situation that you and I as Americans (let alone boat owners) will have never faced. Our parents or grand parents may have during the depression, but we have not. The news media is not helping telling everyone to buy duct tape and Glad wrap for the doors and windows (like it would make a difference).

George, It's time to save our economy so we can save the world !!!!!!!

Whats the price of offroad or "red fuel"? Diesel here in central il is $1.69 a gallon. I use off-road fuel in the boat so it is not as expensive and having a farm helps too.

PhantomChaos 02-13-2003 02:08 AM

What a bunch of cry babies!!!!! :) :) :) Try CA prices! Actually, they are way lower than two years ago. When I go my new boat, I took delivery in Havasu AZ. The dealer delivered it with about 20 gallons in a 200 gallon tank. Being a new boat, I wanted to only put the best in it (I know better now) and put 92 octane in it.

It took 180 gallons @ $2.42 a gallon ($440.44)

A rude awakening to bigger boats. :( :(

East Coast B 02-13-2003 05:14 AM

Just take a look at the earnings reports for the oil company's... Exxon Mobile recently posted over 50% increase in earnings..... made over 4 Billion dollars in past quarter alone....

It's our own dammed corporations that are raping us....

45sonic 02-13-2003 08:00 AM

Try $2.15 for diesel, $1.84 for regular, $1.94 for medium, and $2.04 for super.

This is NUTS !!!!

And to think we are the super power of the world.

candyman35 02-13-2003 11:37 PM

The rollercoaster continues. Today they lowered Diesel back to $1.89.

$1.53 on 2/11/03
$1.99 on 2/12/03
$1.89 on 2/13/03

I feel sorry for the sign changers. They should opt for the electronic signs if there going to change the prices this often. :mad:

BTW, my stock pick of the day is any oil company. Record earnings for 03.

02/14 1:03P (DJ) =DJ US Oil Inventories Seen Very Low, Danger Zone Or Not
Story 5000 (BP, COP, CVX, U.BP, XOM, GB0007980591, US1667641005...)
By Campion Walsh
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--U.S. commercial oil inventories have fallen to
worrisomely low levels whether or not the 270-million-barrel level breached
last week is significant, industry analysts say.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that as of Feb. 7
commercial U.S. crude oil inventories had fallen to 269.8 million barrels.
That marked their lowest level since 1975 and the first drop below a
270-million-barrel threshold established by industry experts in the late
1990s.
"How serious is this? Real serious," says Matthew Simmons, head of
Houston-based energy investment bank Simmons & Co.
It's unknown at what point inventory draws would begin to snarl
transportation and refining to meet the country's thirst for nearly 20 million
barrels a day of oil, industry analysts say.
But Simmons says crude and finished products have been "seesawing down" to
dangerous levels. "At some point in some region, we're going to basically have
a physical shortage, and then it's, `Katie bar the door,"' he says.

I think that is just total bull**** ! We aren't using any more gas/oil than we normally do. Yes I understand about Natural gas/heating oil because of the cold winter we are having. But this so called "shortage" is just a way to gouge us more on prices.
Just take a look at how much profits the oil companies make. I heard somewhere that one oil company has made 50% more profit than last year !

TulsaLarry 02-14-2003 01:43 PM

26Scarab

I decided long ago that if a public traded company was making too much money off of something I had to buy then I would buy into the company and share in the profits. This idea has worked out well for the most part over the years. Most of the major oil companies are setting at five year lows and this may be a good idea again. '

Your mention of Exxon (double cross as some call them) earnings being up some 50%, you are right for the fourth quarter but their earnings were down considerably for the year ($1.68 for 02 vs $2.21 for 01 per share).

I expect things will get worse before things get better. We are importing well over 50% of our oil needs and some are wanting the liberals to free up more domestic areas to drill in, and this would help some but will not solve the problems. The major oil companies still prefer to produce outside the US in order to avoid all the red tape, EPA, taxes, law suits, high cost of labor and materials, etc. It is just much cheaper to find oil outside the US.
The balance between supply and comsumption is very delicate and anything that throws it out of balance will have an extreme impact on prices (South America as an example). Be prepared as we approach the summer demand and try to hedge your bet.
