Gas Prices: Where are all the threads?

[sartre play]

I have never claimed I wanted more or less oil. I would like the strategic oil reserves filled that were drained though. So you lied, good for you.

Did not lie, just get confused, when you pick your negatives to support party propaganda,
and your positives to support party propaganda.
And never look for the facts That we (regular general population)
need to look for Real information, so we don't just keep getting screwed
by propaganda.

Maybe Biden should shut down society like Trump did for cheaper prices.

We were not shut down, Troll.

GDP growth averaged 19.6% the last to quarters under Trump. How did that happen if we were shut down?

Take your bullshit trolling somewhere else, it doesn't work in my threads.

I know this has been explained to you a thousand times by now but I'mma try one more time:

A. When Joe Biden took office there was a global pandemic, one of the effects of which was to suppress demand for gasoline world wide. It was so bad that at one point the price of oil actually went negative. This is a fact, not an opinion:

From the barrel to the pump: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on prices for petroleum products : Monthly Labor Review: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

This article details price movements for petroleum products in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

B. Oil is a private industry. Joe Biden doesn't control the prices. About all he can do is strategic releases from the national reserve, which he has done and even managed to make a profit at.

What would you like to see done to lower prices?

Poor fella. Gas was cheaper prior to the Fauci Flu. Never got over $3.00 under Trump.

Next?

Dude, why would you tell such an outrageous lie?

 

[leftwinger]

They're still trying to figure out how to give their savior credit.

And again, the mush-mouthed phony middler chimes in to bash Trump yet nary a peep when Obiden folks caught red-handed in actual crimes or allowing millions of rapists and muderers across the border un-vetted. You (and your butt-biddies) don’t fool smart people you big dumb OX.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Do you not understand what the word "profits" means?

That means how much they had left over after expenses, including government regulations and taxes.

I fully understand profits. Do you understand that higher prices don’t necessarily or always correlate to higher profits or higher profit margins? Do you understand that government regulations and taxes get passed on to the consumer in prices?

I don't know why I bothered to respond. I know you're too stupid to carry on a conversation, I guess I just need to be reminded occasionally.

Ok, how about the phrase "record profits"?

 

[pknopp]

You can’t cherry pick DEC as your baseline (low use month)

December wasn't the low month.

Did you not bother to actually look at the chart?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

corporations get hit with regulations and taxes from government that increase their costs of production which gets past onto the customer.

What industry does not do this?

Funny, when corporations get tax cuts and a reduction in regulations, they don't pass those savings along to the consumer.

Due to inflation, regulations, fees etc. all caused by Obiden policy. It costs more to find it, extract it, drill it, refine it and deliver it. It will be high until they take off the shackles.

And here is the proof regarding Obama/Trump and now Biden's oil lease signings for Federal land.

Note how far fewer leases were signed by Biden...AND the cause is as the below chart following this chart explain the bureaucratic mess Biden's administration has caused... in Federal oil leasing !
NOTE: The time Biden's administration took to complete an app was 3 times as long as Trump's
Totals 2018 Trump 121 days versus Biden in 2023 taking 321 days 3 times as long!

Why do you feel the need to lie in every post on topics so easily proven to be a lie?

People like you write about above, are so pompous they think just because they write it, IT IS TRUE!

Quite the Fauci hole Trump dug us out of.

Best President since Reagan!

 

[Crepitus]

Since he has done such a fantastic job of lowering prices as you and Rightwinger claim when can we expect him to refill the Stretegic oil reserves that he drained? Or was that something that he is leaving out of his half baked plans?

You sure about that? Lower costs open up more expansion and competition to keep prices steady.

Around $2.50 a gallon give or take, depending on how states rape consumers with gas taxes.

Also you need to remember, those salaries are in FJB bucks. The dollar has 21.2% less buying power now than it did in 2020.....Did everyone get a 22% raise to allow for FJB's inflation?

SA would be a literal oil producing backwater if we exploited our own oil resources.....And no, that exploitation does not mean draining our strategic oil reserve like FJB did to "save" a few cents a gallon.

Was $2.76 last time I filled up here.
