I am with Steele... what is a brontosaurus now? Lol, and I wish that ratio was still around. $1.89 x 4.5 = $8.51/oz silver would be nice!

With a few of exceptions, a 90% silver quarter has always been able to buy around a gallon of gas. Below is a graph I made that shows the last 50 years with data through 2014. Today, a silver quarter is worth about $2.54, and the national average for gas today is $1.83 (from AAA), so the price ratio between gas and silver does seem a little off lately.  |

One thing is for sure:
Almost all commodity prices are lower, just now.
Another thing is for sure:
Expect a World cyclical price upturn. I can't predict exactly when that will happen, but it WILL happen.

Gas in Virginia is a mere $1.80 / gal. A silver quarter currently will purchase well over a gallon, and I'm not too sure that the price of oil isn't being manipulated to be driven especially low. Former Texas oil boomtowns are going ghost as the cost of operation exceeds the profit of production. It's a double-edged sword, this lowering of oil prices. Soon, the barrels they ship oil in will be worth more than the oil itself!

It could be said that gas and oil right now is artificially low right now due to a weak OPEC. Everyone is selling when usually they would cut production. Wheter it's to drive some modes of oil production out is a fair guess. Either way oil is doing its own weird thing right now.

I fear that $30 a barrel gasoline is only a short-term mirage and will be going up shortly when the infighting in OPEC ceases. The Saudi's desire to corner the market (increase production) in cheap oil to hurt their rivals (Iran) has been a blessing for middle class families in this country. Not sure how much longer this can last since the Saudi's are running a huge budget deficit due to cheap oil.

Your US gallons are short somewhat!
