    Silicon Valley Wants to Help You Never Visit a Gas Station Again

    (Bloomberg) -- For Dana Dwyer, an Oracle Corp. employee and mom, a full tank of gasoline at the end of her workday is something she describes with just two words: “It’s happiness.”
    Dwyer spends an hour each morning fighting through 20 miles of Bay Area traffic to get her child to school and herself to work. At night, “making one more stop to the gas station is the last thing I want to do,” she said in a telephone interview.
    That’s music to the ears of Frank Mycroft, the chief executive officer of Booster, and competitor Michael Buhr, the CEO of Filld, startups created to deliver gasoline to customer’s cars at work or home. They face obstacles in the form of gas station mini-marts, community safety concerns and the rise of electric cars. But with time-constrained U.S. consumers paying $255 billion a year for auto fuel, the two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs say they have room to grow, and they’re getting the financial backing to prove it.
    “This is not just Uber for gas, this is reinventing the entire supply chain,” said Mycroft, whose Booster service is used by Dwyer through a contract with Oracle. “We cut out the middleman and deliver gas directly to consumers,” trimming costs by buying directly from oil companies.
    Booster, which focuses on partnering with large companies, also fills up cars at Facebook Inc. and PepsiCo Inc. facilities. Filld, meanwhile, is more focused on reaching individual consumers, though it has Volvo and Bentley on board as corporate clients. Both fuel-startups are based in Silicon Valley.

    Interesting article. Not something I would use unless maybe the gas was really cheap.
    May the force be with us.

    Where Did the Oil, Gas Workers Go?

    Trying to recoup after a layoff can be tough enough in itself, but for those who have been laid off from oil and gas, an industry that ebbs and flows constantly, questions often arise of whether professionals should take their talents elsewhere.
    As Rigzone explored in its first story about the oil and gas industry’s departed workers, 38 percent of respondents said they were currently unemployed, having most recently worked in oil and gas. More than half of those people were laid off. While opportunities for work, specifically in drilling and oilfield services, were sparse during the downturn, it forced some people to find opportunities in other industries outside of oil and gas. Of the survey’s more than 1,500 respondents, about 17 percent reported they are currently employed outside of oil and gas.

    U.S. Oil Drillers Keep Pressure on OPEC With Record Shale Output

    By Catherine Traywick

    VIDEO:

    Oil output from major U.S. shale plays is poised to reach a fresh record next month, further complicating OPEC’s efforts to support prices.
    The gain is being led by the oil-rich Permian basin of Texas and New Mexico, where production has risen steadily over the past two years. The Energy Information Administration projects Permian output to rise by 64,000 barrels in September, reaching a record of 2.6 million barrels a day.




    The forecast comes just as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, the two biggest producers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries promised to strengthen their commitment to cutting production. Crude output in the U.S. meanwhile has climbed in nine of the last 10 months. Prices declined to a three-week low Monday as the growing U.S. output and signs of lower demand from China stoked concern that a global oversupply will linger.[more]

    That Old "It's the Hurricane" excuse has driven Dallas's gasoline prices up .60 cents since last week.

    Looks like Texas is now paying almost the same as we are in my state of Michigan.

    Welcome to the $2.70 club, Texas.

    P.S.- Dallas- there is plenty of fuel to go around, and no, there isn't any shortage- except when everybody hogs it all at once.
    You might also look at ALTERNATIVE FUELS. (E-85- no shortage of that :-) )
