Still won't financially recover from this♤ Crude oil on the commodity market is a "future" price, and just because the future price goes up or down, does not reflect an immediate change in price at the pump. The crude still has to be transported, refined, transported again, and 'eventually' sold. Thats why its called the 'futures' market, there is a time delay between the open market "futures" prices and the prices we pay retail. A $15 drop in price on crude, will show up at the pump in about a month, or so. Its not am immediate, knee jerk reaction, the open markets keep prices stable, to help avoid rapid price changes,and keep the economy stable nd more predictable. 2 Link to comment

ValentinesStuff Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Isn't it funny how when crude prices jump, gas prices soon follow suit. But when crude prices drop, it takes weeks for gas prices to creep back down. $4.59 a galleon here. 1 Link to comment

It's actually dropped closer to $25 which is good. Honestly I think the Oil Cartels country's understand that if fuel is record highs people won't drive thus they won't make more profits off their oil. I think oil will still hover about 100 a barrel till we start up our own production here at home. Link to comment
Rachael-Little Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Gas prices are a direct result of the world issues with the Russian invasion and Joe Biden and his polices Day one he ended several things that directly effected our cost of energy , now add that to this illegal war and here we are. The Biden people are happy these prices are higher as they want to force people to cut back and also go green and buy electric if you don’t believe me just listen to what they say. As far as greed the biggest greed is our federal government and it’s regressive taxes on gas and many other things we pay for. Government doesn’t create or provide jobs for anyone that isn’t paid for by us the tax payers 6 Link to comment

FJB... Premium is $4.99+/gal here. Not only that, but ever since the state switched to sales tax percentage (instead of a flat rate) on fuel a few years ago, premium is always $.70-$1 MORE/gallon than regular. That's just profiteering because the additives are just pennies. Of course, with the rampant increases, the state's raking in more cash, so they're in no hurry to help bring the cost back down to a sane level. 1 Link to comment

And you will never get the government to control prices--not since Jimmy Carter had a wage-and-price freeze during his administration If the prices are caused due to a shortage, then blame the people driving gas-guzzling SUV's and large pickup trucks when they don't really need to. A car that gets 35 miles to a gallon will get you there just as well as a gas hog that gets seven miles to a gallon. I believe it was Nixon that first set wage and price controls. My father was the first to bring it to my attention. They found a simple solution. They started calling items by other names like hambuger meat vs. ground beef. When they called it something else, they could increase the price. I was in middle school at the time. To take the pinch out of fuel cost, I bought a Prius. It is a small car but on long trips I prefer my SUV. On a good day, the SUV gets 25 MPG. The Prius worst case is 50. I don't like the government dictation what kind of car to buy but the Prius didn't cost more than an average car so I bought it. I've had the Prius for a few years and was pleasantly surprised by the low maintenance cost. On a negative note, the high voltage battery is $3000. The HV battery has a 100,000 mile warranty.

Though from the general talk of the populace I over hear in my neck of the woods, if shit hits the fan people are more likely to go vive le French Revolution 2 American Boogaloo instead of going green etc. I'm expecting the next elections to be a veritable bloodbath. 2 Link to comment
