Gas Prices Are Going to Go Up

he was going for a Steppenwolf reference.
it didn't really work, but the effort was apparent.

Nah, just whatever comes their way.

tried to get the motor running, but...

Darling you're going to make it happen

O, pshaw!

I paid $4.99 for premium today ($5.09 + $0.10 discount card) and was happy about it.

A weird take on Born to Be Wild lyrics.

Remember, if gas prices go up and your guy is President, then the President has nothing to do with gas prices. If the other party's guy is President, it's all their fault.

Wonder how those people who bought oil when it went negative a while back are doing

Remember, Lanzman is "on the fence" only in the sense that the railing has gone right up his arse and through his brain, hence why he says this shit.

except for where that never really happened.

well, other than that one time where Trump was pushing for the price of gas to go up in the summer of 2020.... just not sure that fits your narrative

I filled up a week ago, I feel like a millionaire.

Biden could use the strategic reserves, isn’t that what it’s for?

Umm...

He has.

However, this still applies:

That's to run the country in a national emergency.

I'm surprised at you. Making folk wear masks was an act of tyranny, but making them pay higher gas prices?! To an Conservative American, that's tantamount to genocide.

Paid nothing for energy today. I charge for free at the office.

Otherwise 40 miles is about 12KWh. At $0.12/KHh it would be $1.44 for 40 miles. If I charge at home.

Suckers.

Uh no thats for the countries defense, not so you can drive your penis extension around.

Im retired. lol

Still not at the all time high, under Bush in 08.

$3.69 here.

I don't remember that, who is it on here that has said it?

When I filled up in my hometown on Saturday I think it was $3.79?

Gas prices there always tend to run higher for some reason, though, which is ironic considering how much oil is pumped there.

I saw a graphic once of imports by state and was shocked to see that TX imports oil.

This too shall pass.*










*unless we get nuked to oblivion, in which case who cares what the price of gas is?

Okay, other than this guy, who cares what the price of gas is?

Good for you. Too bad literally everything else you need to purchase/borrow/steal will go up in price.

The facts of oil:

• The US is a net oil exporter: we extract more oil than we use.
• Texas and other US refineries bet heavily on Keystone bringing us cheaper Canadian "sour" crude. To this end they invested billions in refineries that could process the lower quality crude oil.
• Texas doesn't have enough refining capacity for the Texas sweet crude they pump out of their own ground, so they are forced to buy lower quality oil.

This is why the oil lobby wants the damn pipeline so bad. They aren't even drilling here to the extent they could (although that's bound to pick up now that oil prices are back up). But any new wells will only go into the international market.

Unless you want the US to nationalize oil like they have in Venezuela and other countries, we don't control the price of oil or the price you pay at the pump.

Oil companies are laughing all the way to the bank (oil stocks are way up if you haven't noticed).

Suckers.

Steal? I don't think you mean what you think you mean...

I know... I just paid $800 for a $200 exterior entry system.
