Scappoose? That's where I grew up! Graduated from Scappoose High School in 1990, lived there from 1976 to 1991.
The world just got a little smaller...
Diesel here in NW Wyoming is $3.56 to $3.79 right now.
We need the price of diesel to go up!!! 
The oil industry is going to be hurting if the crude price doesn't change and like it or not oil is a major part of our economy as a whole. More so for some than others. Huge market in Texas.
I'm not an oilfield worker, but I sell and work with engineers and hands in the field and it directly effects my income. I'm a little worried right now.

This was from Friday at the Valero station, I-240 and Sooner road in OKC! The diesel prices keep moving down and that is a really good thing! :thumb:
The falling prices may be hard on oilfield and associated work, but overall, it has to be better for every other facet of the economy I'd think???
I man shoot, a $1/gal swing in gas/fuel really changes folks spending money too. Plus goods travel from factory-warehouse-store a lot cheaper, etc.
So outside of the oil industry itself, I just can't see where failing prices at the barrel and pump hurts the overall economy. Am I missing something?

Oil production is/has been driving a lot of our economy up hard over the last several years. Its going to hurt the country as a whole, but its going to be real tough on the areas has seen a real boom. Hell in West TX I couldn't get a nice hotel room for under $280 thats with our corp. discount and travel agents. Baker Huges and Hallibuton just merged and they going to lay off 1000 people just to start.
Lower and stable oil prices will help, but who knows whether its better or worse for the country as a whole. Dropping as fast as it is isn't good though. Thats massive uncertainty when they where oil industry was hiring like crazy early this year.
I saw 2.99 this weekend on my way to Corpus in town I still see 3.19-3.49.

Thats the thing too though, Im born and raised in western ND and I'll be here all my life but I don't have a job in the oil field. I should and might after the new year but I work at a chevrolet dealer making a normal persons wage. I don't have money to spend on things like I would if I even lived a hundred or so miles farther east. Food is crazy expensive, rent is insane. It was cheaper for me to get a modular house in the long run than to rent a place and I'm a young man so it bothers me none to see companies here trim some fat and see people leave to go back home. Less people padding our grocery, hardware, restaurant owners pockets and maybe things would be priced normally again.
I heard a number being thrown around on tv. I have no idea if its true or not but the story claimed for every penny gas prices fall it puts $1 billion into the Us economy.
still haven't seen a big drop in diesel here, around $3.60 locally.

Not buying this arguement, if the oil industry can't survive on $50 dollar a barrel cude there is something wrong somewhere.
x2 I think they just need to settle for less that xx billion profit and they would be fine.
