Oil bust inevitable

Now down to $3.04 here.
Crazy, driving to work this morning I was thinking why we never see $.05 changes anymore but there it is. Never see that here anymore. It's 10 cents or nothing.

 
It's dropping almost daily. We are now waiting to fill our bulk tanks since it is dropping so fast. What happened to us running out of diesel before Thanksgiving?
 
Well we got our first gas bill since last month, we had a couple of cold days nothing major, our gas bill tripled in price from the month before, the base charge is $71 just for having it, without the usage.

Triple seems excessive for it not even being that cold yet...I think ours was up about $40 from last month. Just wait though, arctic blast is coming soon.

I wasn't all that surprised from what you have been telling me, plus what I have been reading online lately. To me the biggest shocker is the base charges, taxes, and fees. Those are a little excessive. Our actual usage was cheaper.

Nat gas prices have been down..however, today nat gas is up 9% on the news of big cold coming around the Christmas time.

Why though? Isn't this taking advantage of people based off weather? I mean that about as bad as gas companies raising prices because it Summer and people drive more. There should be a law against stuff like this. Biased based on weather.
