iwire said:$4.00 bucks for diesel in the Boston MA area.
Worse I just filled my homes oil tank at a cost of $762.00.
When I moved here 8 years ago I was paying $0.90 per gal, now it is $3.50.

I saw a TV show that went to an Amish cabinet shop and all the tools there where powered hydraulically from a diesel engine outside. :-?
Thats such a good idea. There are many countries in the world whose populations simply don't have the money to pay for petroleum products, and so if the USA would only pay $45/bbl then the USA would get the product left over when everyone else had what they needed for $46/bbl, and gas in many other countries would be much cheaper, and in may others, simply affordablejrannis said:I dont se why, as by far the largest user of petroleum, we cant pass a law that the US only pays $45.00 per barrel for oil.

Of course, that would mean that the US would be short on gas, so then it would either be rationed, or go to the highest bidder. Its clear that you folks are willing to buy 388.6 million gallons/day of gas at the sorts of pricing you are paying now, so to stop you buying so much the price would have to go much higher, perhaps $15 a gallon would reduce purchases to the scale required.
So, in short, the rest of the world gains, and the US loses.
Still want to only pay $45/bbl for the black stuff?
Edited to say: Of course, the USA has other ideas rather than $45/bbl: http://forums.mikeholt.com/image.php?u=95094&dateline=1203284770[img][/QUOTE]
We use 20 million bbl per day. [url]http://www.nationmaster.com/red/graph/ene_oil_con-energy-oil-consumption&b_map=1[/url] Almost more than the next 5 biggest users COMBINED! It would cripple the oil business to stop that kind of flow.
Next closest is China using 6.5 million bbl per day
then, Japan 5.5 million bbl
Germany 2.6 million
Russia 2.5 million (they have their own oil)
India 2.4 million
I still like the $45 plan.
