Gas Prices Near You?

[grampahol]

Get used to it for awhile,  but look on the bright side of things.  We still have among the lowest fuel prices compared to the rest of the world, even big oil producing countries. Gasoline or petrol depending  on the local terminology is usually heavily subsidized elsewhere, but here it's just cheaper per capita than the rest of the developed world. Even better is we're not going to run out of it while nearly all of Europe? They're screwed and they're relatively rich.. There's not a lot of oil in Europe save for Norway and parts of the UK. They still don't produce enough for those two countries and be able to export a lot elsewhere much less the rest of Europe. 
We here in the US produce enough oil to keep the lights on and keep the trucks and cars rolling rolling rolling..AND an overabundance of gas to heat our homes and run our factories through not only the gas and oil fields, but the HUGE shale deposits from NY to Texas.. 
Keep things in perspective. Globalization is dead and apt to stay dead so China's done and Russia will soon be done too as soon as next winter when the pipes freeze and they will from the lack of flow in them to Europe. China can't build new pipelines fast enough and don't have the expertise and neither does Russia since it was our oil companies that did their drilling and built their infrastructure in the first place..They all packed up and came home..
If you're under the age of say...50 you're future looks bright. The rest of the world is screwed and the United States military is not going to play global cop to keep globalization going. We can and will produce most everything here at home and what we can't we will use our huge military to pressure whoever has it to sell to us cheap.. 
The demographics for the rest of the world pretty much sucks. Our own demographics are in pretty good shape for the foreseeable future. Don't sweat highish gas prices. It's a hell of a lot worse everywhere else and headed straight to the sh+tter for them.
