Negative oil prices?

[Maggot]

Oil hits US$5. Why pumps will stay open if prices turn negative ...

3 hours ago - What's the exact price? Will it even make it that low into the pump station? I kind of feel stupid for making a full trunk reload right before shit hits ...

 

[E. Bryant]

I bought 12 gallons of Mobil 1 and Shell Rotella T5 last week. The price tag for that sure as fuck wasn't negative.

Funny, gas prices have not dropped a cent here. Oil tanked a month ago, it is coming though. 30 cents lower 100 miles each side of us. When oil goes up, prices raise in 5 hours or less.

 

[tansinator]

Paid $1.36 here in Chattanooga an hour ago.

I remember they would jack prices up on weather reports of possible storms that might effect refineries , gas prices went up on cloudy days .

2.24 here

 

[Maggot]

$1.59 here a week ago

 

[Jrb572]

$1.88 here

US oil is trading in the $20s. There are grades, and "better" grades trade higher (light sweet, for example). Canadian heavy crude is more difficult to refine and, thus, trades lower.

 

[Blowby]

Diesel $1.89 here for the last week. Most stations are at about $2.21-2.35

In the republic of Boulder they hate everything but fruits and nuts. Diesel still $$$$$.

 

[DanGroves]

Wyoming sour crude is selling for $7 a barrel. Gasoline is still $2.10 per gallon.

 

[TheGerman]

Let me know when I can go buy gas, walk into the store and they hand me money.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

$0.59.9-0.69.9 a litre here in The 'Peg, depending on where you're buying. Haven's seen it this low in about 2 decades.

If I recall 4 liters = one Imperial gallon which = about 1.1 US gallons so your price is still pretty high.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Yeah but he's using Canadian dollars. Still a bit high though after the exchange

Dang last time I went out it was 1.60

 

[Carlos Danger]

$1.27 today......but it is tax free. About the only thing tax free in this fuckin state.

Yep - still paying $2.77/gal for diesel here in MI, at least as of a few days ago.

 

[Reload10]

^^ Bulk diesel is <$1.5 here

 

[Lesch]

We have one good bit of news in this time of gloom...

 

[paulrem308]

Agree and huge disagree. Oil dropped like a rock. Over night roughly 1 million lost there jobs in oil field. You haven't heard a word about that. Glad I got out when I did. Saudi and Russia shut down our oil drilling/ production overnight. Hope you enjoy your cheap fuel prices, just keep in mind there was a huge price we are all going to pay.

No shit, I honestly don't care for 3 buck gas, i'll pay 2.25 -2.50 to keep things rolling.

 

[ZY100]

And...the stimulus bill had $3B cut from it that was supposed to buy 30M bbls of oil for the USA strategic reserve from USA companies.

You know, work to fill up the reserves when oil is way cheap and put money into reviving US business that have laid off a ton of people? That makes too much sense. Instead give money to people for nothing and wait until oil is back at $80 a bbl to fill the reserves.

I know it's not that simple....but still.

Rant off.

Thats exactly why everyone in the oil field tells new guys to save their money. Working in the oil fields has been boom and bust forever. Drilling gets shut down and rigs get stacked out all the time.

A bunch of U.S money was used to buy a bunch of that Saudi oil they dumped on the market, and was put right into our strategic reserve.

 

[Triple BB]

Here in central Wyoming today, it was a $1.87 a gal. Four years ago in eastern WY where I goose hunt, it dropped to $1.24 a gal. My brother uses portable tanks to haul hazardous oilfield chemicals. I asked to borrow a 500 gal tank to fill up with that $1.24 gas when I was down there. He said if you get a call from the EPA, you don't know me. Needless to say, I chickened out...

 

[SilentStalkr]

Still $1.88 here!

 

[Tnc]

Saw it for $1.10 today. Cheapest I’ve seen it in years

Guess we will just need to dump the excess into the ocean.

 

[clcustom1911]

Lived here my whole life. Yes, it's stupid. It should be 50 cents less.

If I recall 4 liters = one Imperial gallon which = about 1.1 US gallons so your price is still pretty high.

The US gallon is used in the United States and is equal to exactly 231 cubic inches or 3.785411784 liters. The Imperial gallon or UK gallon is used in the United Kingdom and is equal to approximately 277.42 cubic inches. Its exact value is defined as 4.54609 liters. One imperial gallon is approximately 1.2 US gallons.

Not like this, man. Furthermore, it’s been bust since 2015, the rig count is going to fall much lower over the next two months. This is going to be a lot of lost jobs. Hundreds of thousands maybe more, the collateral damage could double that number. This coupled with the shut downs... this could be the kickoff to a brave new America.

$2.79 for diesel in E Oregon.

Holy crap, $3 billion for 30 million barrels? That's not "stimulus", that's fuckin' robbery.

How Houston Survived the Great Oil Bust of 2015-16

The 2015-16 oil bust triggered what was arguably the worst downturn in the history of American oil. So why was the story different in Houston?

Rig count now is higher than 2009 and 2015. 2009 was around the time I left.

[jinxx4ever]

diesel $1.69. Have 2- 300gal bulk barrels sitting empty. Will b filling next week it looks like

 

[Arc Light]

I feel bad for the oil field workers, the ones actually working for a living. I don't feel sorry at all for the parasites on Wall Street who I hope lost their shirts.

These are the same scumbags that drove the price of gasoline to $5+ a gallon on pure speculation 10 years ago. Fuck them.

Um, you realize the entire and I do mean the entire stimulus package was robbery, right? Sadly, that probably cost Trump from getting back into office.
