Unreal.

$2.25 here this am.

The Exxon station I frequent has closed. Its gas price sign stuck on $2.53.

I wonder why?

Also, I wonder when the bounce back to rising prices will happen?

Did the Exxon station have a store?....Almost a necessity, and perhaps the store wasn't doing well enough.

I remember at one point in the last 6 1/2 years the amount my cousin, 7 to 10 miles north of San Francisco, was paying was $1.00-$1.10 or so per gallon more than I was paying here.

When will prices rise again? It will be interesting to see how things play out. Heavily influenced by fracking, one has to go back to 1987 to see U.S. net crude oil and petroleum product imports at levels this low. With that, slowing demand in China and Europe, and other factors, the price of Brent crude fell over 25 percent from June to mid November. Saudi Arabia may be trying to retain market share by undercutting American producers. Saudi Arabia may be trying to make fracking unprofitable. If they could accomplish that, some rigs would go offline, supply would be reduced, and there would be room for more Saudi imports in the U.S. market.

. I remember, in 2006, trying to find a turn that I needed to make in Camden. I stopped at a gas station to ask the clerk about the turn. He had no clue, but I did learn that he had lived there for 10 years. I eventually found the turn. It was very close by....a few blocks away. I remember shaking my head that a guy could live in a neighborhood for 10 years and know so little about the neighborhood.
