Well, I've been spending more money on camping trips/materials because I can justify driving all over the state to get good hiking/kayaking/camping trips in.

If it stayed right where it is, I'm good but I wouldn't turn my nose up if it fell a little further.

Williston, ND is a very interesting place these days. It went from a nothing shithole town to a booming shithole town where they couldn't build housing fast enough....now it's back to a shithole town with a bunch of empty buildings

Different than what you consider "optimal."


Optimal to me is allowing our local economies not to go to shite while still not making a conscious notation of gas prices.

Maybe the oil companies should try to be more even keeled. If they didn't pay insane salaries/wages to their executives/workers when making record profits they may be able to afford to keep employees during the downturns.

I wouldn't expect anyone to feel guilty for getting cheap gas like some here would but I also won't feel guilty when it's back to $4
