I closed on a house and moved down here in April 2008, I like the area. Katy and the Richmond/Rosenberg suburbs are quite nice and have decent housing prices. You can get a great deal on a new house these days, houses are going up left and right in the vicinity of the neighborhood where I live. I got a 15% discount off the list price and the builder paid all closing costs.

I can't say that I know much about Houston, but my impression has always been that it's a high-crime city with awful heat and humidity and the least desirable of Texas's four major city areas (Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio).

Well, I like the northern weather but I sweated it out in the humidity and tropics of Hong Kong. I can probably tough it out in Houston. I would be out in the Richmond area too which is a little out of Houston and is supposed to be a good area. If not, I could try to put in for other locations. The company sold itself as being very mobile.
I thought we might see under $3.
Got to $3.09 and then last night most of stations shot back up to $3.29

San antonio is easily the worst of the four to live in. Houston and dallas are basically the same, though dallas has tornadoes and some hills while houston has hurricanes and the ocean. All of texas is pretty humid. Houston has the most diverse restaurant scene and more good restaurants than the others. Its also more diverse culturally.
Geez....... expected increased summer demand which occurs yearly will drive gas higher. Tell us something new Dave.
OK, here is even more oil to be added to the glut we already have that should have prices low not higher because prices are not dictated by supply & demand anymore they are dictated by thieving thugs that you support.

U.S. sets plan for oil drilling in 72% of Alaska Petroleum Reserve
The federal government on Wednesday announced plans to develop petroleum reserves on part of Alaska's North Slope, with the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve to be divided between areas available for oil leases and those that are protected from development for now.
The announcement by U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar followed the completion of an environmental impact study, which recommended development of about 72 percent of the estimated "economically recoverable" oil in the reserve.
The move drew criticism from Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who contended the Obama administration had not gone far enough to open up oil and natural gas resources in the area.
Salazar said the plan as conceived would allow for the potential construction of pipelines carrying oil or gas from operations in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas through the NPR region.
The areas where oil and gas development will not be allowed include "the vital subsistence resources of Alaska Natives and the habitat of world-class wildlife populations," the Interior Department said.
"cali" is the size of most of the East Coast, so that is a rather vague statement.
I am in a more expensive area, and I just paid $3.57 tonight.

It will take at least a decade and probably two to get this oil to market, so it will probably be replacing other supplies as they wane. In any case, the more of our own oil we produce the less we must import and the lower our trade deficit.
And there is a bright side - high prices encourage us to use less by driving less and by selecting more efficient vehicles. There are significant economic downsides to high oil and gasoline prices, but also environmental benefits.
Oil back over $90 today

I saw it below $3.00/gallon today, which is the first time it's been under $3.00/gallon in my area in about two years.

Yep, gas has been falling nationally at a pretty good clip for right at three months now.
In chart, select USA average in drop down.

The high oil price discussion with the futures traders he linked to in that earlier video dealt with the yearly cyclical oil price changes based on summer demand vs winter demand. Last year during the summer however demand for oil was less then expected due to our struggling economy, increased oil supplies due to new drilling techniques, etc and as a result we saw lower then expected gas prices in the summer because of these various factors.
This year the futures traders will have to sit and wait to see if the summer demand they are expecting actually pans out. However given the lack of resolve to actually deal with government spending and our debit issues and the bleak out look for the "fiscal cliff" talks there might not even be enough demand in the summer time to justify today's price increases for future contracts on oil because the American consumer may be taking a big hit tax wise next year.
This then could translate into oil prices taking yet another dip and some of those people bidding up on the price of oil may have take a figurative bath in it if their bet turns soar. Then again there might be a last minute reprieve to the "Fiscal Cliff" talks or outside of our concerns, developing and emerging economic powerhouse nations like China may fuel the price increases with their own demand, especially if foreign economies surge even when as economy limps along.
Right now though its all to early to tell and in the end the actual price of future oil will be based on the actual demand which materializes in the subsequent financial quarters both in the US and world wide. This isn't even considering what future supplies world wide will look like if producers across the world cut back to compensate for our current glut and/or any future economic/social down turns which might cause demand to lessen or supply to contract. So I'd take a wait and see approach before making any sort concrete statement on what the price of oil will look like when everything is said and done.
Lastly though I do agree though that any plans to drill for oil in Alaska now will not provide any significant boosts for us during the summer time next year in regards to the price of oil and subsequently the price of gas itself in the US or world wide. In fact it'll take a long time for that additional amount of oil to filter through world wide markets of oil to have any impact on the current price in the future whatever it maybe.
