All kidding aside I saved enough to pay for the gas we used today.

What the government can do is to guaranty the oil companies a minimum price for shale oil, say 75 dollars a barrel. This will get the ball rolling on shale production. Without this guaranty it will be years before they will risk the massive investment necessary.

No....All the government needs to do is lift the prohibition they have imposed on developing shale oil, and it will start to happen. As usual the gov't ain't the solution, it's the problem.

Well here’s a different angle. We’ve all heard that the major airlines are grounding planes these last couple of weeks because of the cost of fuel, United 70 planes, Continental 350, Qantas, British Airlines are all doing the same. So with that these plane won’t be burning fuel, a lot of fuel.

Jet B is very close to diesel fuel, any diesel can run Jet B, so the way I look at it is if the refineries have a shrinking market for Jet B, then they will have to refine it as diesel, so we should see the price of diesel come down (supply & demand), right.

Anyone want to bet that diesel will come down in price. … I’m betting it will have little difference even thou there are several million gallons of Jet B (diesel) per day not being used. If the price doesn’t drop we’ll know who’s running the hen-house.

I don't know what to tell you. If you really missed my point, please tell me so I can correct or clarify it. You either don't understand the commodities market I admit that and apparently I'm not going to be enlightened by your expertise.or you are argumentative Sometimes, but that wasn't my intent. Maybe you didn’t notice that several sentences in my post ended with question marks, not periods or exclamation points. Either way, you have already made up your mind No, I haven’t but I’m beginning to. I thought my questions were logical and sincere and they were based on your explanation of the commodity market. You chose the "definition" and examples. Since you chose to explain it, I thought you had enough knowledge of the market to address my questions/illustrations where the problem is, and nothing I or anyone else says here is going to change what you are convinced is true. And exactly, what would that be? A closed mind can not be changed. Yup, if you can’t answer the questions, blame it on the guy who asked them. So enjoy! I tried to use a little humor to illustrate my point but I guess that was lost too.

You folks that think there is some vast government conspiracy to deprive you of your god given right to oil need to get a clue. No one is stopping anyone from getting shale oil. If prices remain over 75 bucks a barrel, it will happen. But no oil company can afford the massive investment and risk it will take to get it without government help.
