The gasoline price panic

If you think that is real you are even dumber than you are already paid to be
It is positively astounding to see you willfully blind tards protecting your fragile delusions in real time.

 
Where did I say OPEC cut production BECAUSE the US expanded?

OPEC did in fact cut production. I've proven that umpteen times on this forum.

While we were increasing production to record highs (for which none of you tards thanked Biden), some OPEC nations were keeping their production levels at or below what they were producing during COVID.

Chevron also waited to increase their production in order to maximize profits for their shareholders.

YOU need to check YOUR understanding of basic ecnomics.

Best of luck.
They cut production because we were at capacity and more restrictions were being thrown at US energy companies.
 
Here you go, dipshit:

In Venezuela, they produced less oil in 2021 than they did during the pandemic.

Venezuela's 2021 crude output shows no growth from last year

Average year crude production slightly below 2020 Production from JVs account for 60% of total production Iranian condensates boost output for third straight month Venezuelan state owned PDVSA and its

Venezuelan state-owned PDVSA and its foreign joint venture partners recorded average crude oil production of 560,000 b/d in 2021, according to an internal report reviewed by S&P Global Platts.

The average year was slightly below 2020 when production averaged 570,000 b/d and the 2019 record when production was 1.01 million b/d, according to the OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin. Also, the 2021 results were far from the target of PDVSA's recovery plan.
Another competitor cut production because we were at capacity and restrictions.
 
Meanwhile, at Chevron:


Chevron raises buybacks and says exposure to Russia is limited


Major oil companies are responding to a jump in profits this year from higher oil and gas prices by giving back more cash to shareholders, many of whom have been frustrated by years of low returns.

So far, most shale operators have signaled that they plan to put capital returns above output growth, even as U.S. oil prices crossed $100 per barrel earlier this week.



Profits before the customers.
Profits because of customers and more consumption for more growth and profits. The more global markets producing, supply increases to meet and possibly exceed demand. Prices fall.
 
Production reached a record production because it hit the limit and had nowhere to go. Do you have any understanding of economics?? Draw yourself a S and D graph and see what happens when D exceeds S and S has nowhere to go.

Bragging about record production means nothing if demand can’t be met.
Trump negotiated a 9M barrel cut per day of OPEC in 2020. That is why gas prices rose. Biden put out more oil than Trump and world demand for oil FELL. It was less than 2019 for 4 years until 2023. Oil price peak was in 2022 with less demand. I feel like you dont know what you are talking about.

 
Yeah I’m seeing .60 to .80 so the typical American who fills up once every 10 days on 15 gallons is paying $9 to $12 more. About One Dollar per day. Oh the horrors and ruination of that pearl clutching by you fake ass simpletons.
Small price to pay to keep the Islamic Terror Regime of Iran from getting nukes.
 

📊 Big picture impact on U.S. gas prices​

✅ What OPEC+ DID​

  • Prevented oil from staying cheap after 2020
  • Contributed to 2021–2022 price surge
  • Supported higher price floor in 2023

❗ What OPEC+ DID NOT control alone​

U.S. gas prices also depend on:

  • Domestic refining capacity
  • Seasonal demand (summer spikes)
  • U.S. shale production
  • Geopolitics (like Ukraine war)

🧠 Simple cause-and-effect​


OPEC+ cuts supply

Global oil prices rise

U.S. gasoline prices increase


⚠️ Key takeaway​

OPEC+ is one of the biggest external drivers of U.S. gas prices.

  • It doesn’t set gas prices directly
  • But by controlling global oil supply, it strongly influences the baseline price Americans pay

Because of trumps foolish agreement in OPEC+.


I call it a trump mistake.
Just like his OPEC+ 2020 mistake, that lasted for 2 years.

These, both of them, are 100% on trump.
lol. Trump had nothing to do with the Biden spike.

By increasing production from 25.5 million barrels a day to 30 million barrels 18 months later?
Diabolical!

It's gone up about .75 cents in my AO.....Worth every penny to see Iran finally getting it's crap pushed in.

Riddle me this....Why are gas prices 10 cents higher (on average in my AO) along the Interstate exits?

Not just now either, it's all the time.....Just because they can? :dunno:
You answered your own question

Supply and demand

When I work out the the sticks gas is at least 10 cents cheaper too
