Average Gas Price Hits $4.30 A Gallon

1. You have been complaining about gas prices that are lower than now under Democrats for a dozen years.

3. You have a million posts on this site calling $3 gas under Biden too high and whining about a one time spike in gas due to covid and OPECs output cut negotiated by Trump while you ignore the self caused gas spike to $4.45 so far all because in your mind "Orange Man Godly".

Today gas prices are attributed to a military operation to reopen the straight... Biden's prices which were higher than today was also from a war.... a war on fossil fuels...

Which ended in 9 months? Biden produced more oil than Trump ever did but Trump had Opec cut production by 9M barrels a day.

You cant hide your hypocrisy. I dont expect you to own up to it but I exposed you like the partisan hack you are my friend.

Russsia's war on Ukraine drove the prices up. Biden's policies after the invasion shock drove prices back down.

Benedict Donald's surprise attack in the middle of negotiations with Iran is what drove prices up.

/——-/ “Trump had OPEC cut production by 9M barrels a day.”
He did that to save American oil workers jobs—- AS IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT TO YOU CLOWNS A DOZEN TIMES. If oil drops below a certain price, it becomes too expensive to pump. Oil was in negative numbers. There was no place to store it. Just like Iran is facing today. They are out of storage space.
Idiot.
 
/----/ Where's the evidence our exports are coming from the reserves and not from our production?
I'm not sure how that matters? You want to explain why that matters?

/----/ We are swimming in oil. We are self-sufficient in oil and are now a major exporter of oil. A far cry from yesteryears when we had to import the oil we needed from the Middle East. Something the envirowackos said was impossible because we were running out of oil by 1980.
That's why it matters.

The U.S. continues to play a dominant role in global oil supply, with production levels significantly higher than most other countries.The U.S. continues to play a dominant role in global oil supply, with production levels significantly higher than most other countries.
  1. U.S. crude oil production in 2026 is forecast to average around 13.5–13.6 million barrels per day, remaining near record levels but slightly below 2025 output.

    Production Forecast and Trends​

    The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that crude oil production will average 13.5 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2026, a slight decrease of about 100,000 b/d from 2025 levels after several years of growth U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Other forecasts suggest production could reach 13.6 million b/d, reflecting near-record output maintained by ongoing activity in key regions youngresearch.com+1. This slight plateau or modest decline is influenced by lower crude prices, which reduce drilling incentives in some areas, particularly in the Lower 48 states youngresearch.com.

    Regional Contributions​

    • Permian Basin (Texas and New Mexico): Continues to be the largest contributor, accounting for nearly half of total U.S. production in 2025 and remaining a key driver in 2026 youngresearch.com.
    • Gulf of Mexico: Production is expected to rise slightly to around 2.0 million b/d in 2026, supported by new fields offsetting natural declines in older fields youngresearch.com.
    • Alaska: After decades of decline, production is projected to increase modestly due to new projects like Nuna and Pikka, contributing to overall growth youngresearch.com.

    Price and Market Context​

    The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude price is forecast to average $51–52 per barrel in 2026, down from $65 per barrel in 2025 and $77 in 2024 U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)+1. Lower prices are expected to constrain drilling activity in some regions, even as technological improvements and efficiency gains in shale operations help sustain output thesiliconreview.comthesiliconreview.com.

    Key Takeaways​

    • U.S. oil production in 2026 will remain near record levels, averaging 13.5–13.6 million b/d.
    • Permian Basin, Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska are the main contributors to production growth or stability.
    • Lower crude prices may limit expansion in some regions, but efficiency gains in shale operations help maintain output.

    • This forecast highlights a period of stability rather than rapid growth, reflecting both market conditions and technological efficiency in U.S. oil production.

I don't deny any of that. Oil price is about supply and demand.

The US cannot possibly replace all the oil and petroleum products which came through the straight. We would have to increase our production by orders of magnitude which frankly, I don't think is possible. The straights were responsible for 20% of the global energy demand.

None of what you posted refutes my original post on this exchange.

We are swimming in oil. We are self-sufficient in oil and are now a major exporter of oil.
We drink a lot of oil. Draining our oil reserves stock export is not producing more oil. Were are still a net oil importer. We produce and export more petroleum products because the sum total of all our energy production includes LNG (Nobody drives on LNG!) and that total is greater than our consumption, and has been for many years. But we still import more crude oil than we export.
