Many of the airliners are grounded and not using jet fuel so pump prices will continue to fall.

Today turned negative, -$36.
Meaning, they will pay you to take them.
I'm on lockdown but I wonder how much is the pump prices.
And at this rate, I might not even take my order of Cybertruck, ![[emoticon]](https://forums.trailerlife.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

My440, That would be nice. We can be totally independent but.....All the fuss over fracking and building pipelines to the gulf, instead to large industrial cities, was done so the oil companies could export the oil. They can sell it at a much higher price overseas than they could here in the heartland. They pay very high prices at the gas pumps in foreign countries. Think about that for a while.

Oil is sold at world prices. Some countries pay very high prices which is mainly tax and some countries pay very little as it is heavily subsidized. Saudis Arabia is 60 cents. There has been only one small refinery built in the US in the last 35 years and permitting and environmental lawsuits will keep any more from building any in large industrial cities. No giant conspiracy theories here, just business sense.

We are exporting oil while on the other hand importing because the oil that we produced cannot be refined here since our refining capabilities are not designed for this type of oil.
Thus, crude oil becomes fungible as it enters into the world market and priced accordingly.
Not just the regulatory requirements in the US, it's also a huge capital outlay and usually companies don't make this kind of gargantuan investment seeing national and global demand is going down.

Cheap gas when you are on lockdown is like a bald man winning a comb.
