PRAISE GOD!
This means so very much to the average American, saving money on gas, increasing our cash flow for other important family needs and helping the less fortunate! AMEN!
A gas station in Oklahoma City has won the race to $2 gas.
GasBuddy.com said Wednesday an OnCue Express in Oklahoma City dropped its price 12 cents to $1.99 a gallon, becoming the first U.S. station to charge less than $2 a gallon since July 2010.
In a post on GasBuddy’s website, senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan said drivers in Texas, South Carolina and Missouri may soon see $2 gas as well. Areas near Houston, Spartanburg and St. Louis are currently the lone metro areas within 20 cents of reaching the milestone.
Gas prices have rapidly declined in recent months, following in the footsteps of a selloff in oil. On Wednesday, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures recovered 50 cents to settle at $67.38 a barrel, but New York Harbor gasoline dropped to a five-year low of roughly $1.80 a gallon.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Americans are paying an average of $2.74 per gallon, 51 cents cheaper than a year earlier.
America is becoming more and more independent from mid-east oil! We need to keep putting Americans to work in the oil fields and producing oil, building the Keystone pipeline, despite Obama, we need to produce oil from shale. There is no reason to keep connected to the evil mid-east for oil.
For to far long America has been attached to the mid-east oil, like a drug addict. Buying oil from people that hate you and the American way.
It”s time for America’s Independence from that evil.
To me, this story of oil independence is one of the greatest stories in decades for America, but it is not being celebrated! Why?
It is like Democrats want to hold back America’s greatness! Holding back the American people, the American family, the working families, is not a good thing, it is evil.
The key to American prosperity of course is recognizing and worshiping and following God Almighty!
American prosperity also includes putting money in the pockets of the tax payers of this nation, not in the pockets of those in Washington D.C. Those folks have little empathy for us.
New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce has empathy for us…….just look at the way he votes……..he stands in the gap for God.
Agreed. I am thankful that we are less dependent upon foreign oil producers, and that we pay less at the pump. It is amazing that this is viewed as a problem; however, even in our state (where we view gambling monies as positive and use them for education instead of just budgeting for it), there are those in the background undoubtedly wringing their hands over the loss of tax/fee revenue from the oil fields. We can’t live our lives always demanding to have things both ways… If one claims to be for the “common man” or the downtrodden, then one shouldn’t complain when the cost of getting to work, etc., goes down. The free market will adjust over time to any new norms that are presented.
