Pappy- I'm on the flip side of your situation.  I sell downstream derivatives of oil so our budgets are all busted.  Core oil derivatives are trading at 30% of what they were 2 years ago.  Layoffs have been huge.

Pappy, you are a great moderator.  I have been on this site long enough to have become a fan of yours.  You keep it on track through issues that would start a Jerry Springer mess on most forums!  You are a natural born diplomat.  We need you in the United Nations. ;D  Hats off to you.

I went deer hunting yesterday and filled my diesel up for thirty something bucks, a couple of years ago I would have topped 100 bucks for about the same fill-up.

How about airlines. Their prices are down 5% to 10% but their profits are up over 40%. I guess that is good marketing.  ::)

Election year really has nothing to do with it, and now there is more than .50 cents a gal. tax, that really has nothing to do with the oil company's, now does it. ;) :) OK I admit I love this kind of stuff but please remember let's play nice, so far so good but threads like this can go south very quick. Great bunch on PA now and don't have much trouble anymore. Thanks.

Gas prices up here are down about 20%($4.00 per American gal). That means I can go 20% farther into the bush looking for staves :D :D

I have friends in the oil industry who are out of work. I worked at a machine shop that did oilfield work, They had 35 people and were giving out christmas and thanksgiving bonuses. They are now down to 10. It Hurts me to see that company struggle. It was one of those shops where we werent co workers but all family. They hired me and treated me right. I had a paycheck stolen out my car I had just cashed. I told the company owner, he reached in his pocket, said here, and gave me in cash over my paycheck value, and said to pay him back when ever. A few minutes late? They didnt care. Just do your job and everything was good. I made mistakes, they never gripped. I broke tools from being inexperienced. They were more of the opinion that as I made mistakes I was more valuable as I learned from them. People like that are being choked out and its awefull. I wish I had a solution but I dont.
