PETROLPHOBIA (Page 50/66) maryjane MAY 29, 12:50 AM quote No one is languishing about the oil rig lot waiting to rush out, drop a drill and start pumping gasoline. You are correct, because gasoline doesn't come out of a drilling rig's borehole. Drill cuttings, return mud, salt water, natural gas, and crude oil do, but not gasoline or diesel. USFiero JUN 13, 03:07 PM Regular around $4.39 near me. Premium a hair below $5 but I'm hearing it's all about ten cents higher in FL where I need to go for a couple weeks. USFiero SEP 12, 03:24 PM Gas tax holidays are helping make the temporary price relief look better than the fact gas prices are still historically high. I did find regular for just under $3.10 in a few places between Middle Georgia and the coast, but Georgia governor Kemp keeps extending the suspension of state gas tax. Wichita SEP 12, 04:55 PM It's funny to see the propaganda headlines. 'Gas dropping to the lowest levels in a year' . When really it only dropped barely $0.20 a gallon Also, because of misguided politics, Pedo Pete released millions of barrels of SPR to the tune of 240 million barrels, which causes the SPR to be at the lowest level in history. No worries, it only goes till the end of October, and once the election is over it will skyrocket. But Dem politicians don't care after the election is up and it is worth doing to keep a few Dem seats from swinging. After the election when everyone is bitchin, they will gaslight you and tell you to go buy an ev.

It doesn't matter who is still in charge of what, the Dems will say that they were going to do X to stop the sudden increase, but the Republicans that got voted in wouldn't work with them. If Republicans are in charge of anything (House/Senate), it'll be a price hike because of the policies they put in place. Any increase before the election will be because of the oil producers being afraid that the Republicans may be in charge. cliffw SEP 14, 09:15 AM quote Originally posted by USFiero: Regular around $4.39 near me. Premium a hair below $5 but I'm hearing it's all about ten cents higher in FL where I need to go for a couple weeks. My Dad lives in Florida. I visit, the first time I did, I mentioned Florida's gas prices are higher than Texas. He told me that that higher gas prices are because of a higher tax on gas. Because all the visitors buy gas and the higher tax helps keep property taxes lower. All right. I won't complain. I do though fill up at their State line before entering, and try to be on empty when I get back to Alabama's State line.

Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir talks to CNN's Becky Anderson about OPEC+ production cuts and responds to criticism of the move from US leaders. October 12, 2022. 11 minutes for the entire segment. USFiero NOV 20, 09:52 AM Regular between here (central) and the coast of Georgia is $3.10-ish to $2.99 with incentives (club type subscriptions or cash only). OPEC is going to screw the West, total failure in resolving the Ukraine crisis and America not spinning up production which could help the world. We're going to buy oil from horrible governments instead. The diesel reserve window is contracting during high demand transportation season and gas prices - as predicted - are set to start rising again now that mid terms are (sort of) over. I doubt the US will be refilling it's strategic reserve at the price Biden claimed we'd get any time soon.
