New oil from old wells may cost that little to extract, but new exploration requires oil in the $85-100 per barrel range.

Same problem with US oil.

There's is a limit to how low you can go before you disincentivize exploration for new oil. We're somewhere around that point right now.

Oh, no... go ahead and test. Testing is worth it, especially if the results are shared! I was merely stating that I don't see the point in wasting fuel on your daily grind unnecessarily.
