Re: Gas Prices?
$ 3.12 for regular here yesterday.. $ 3.62 for 93 octane. I run my Denali 6.2, The Queen's Genesis GV70 (3.5 twin turbo), '76 Cutlass and the C 10...all on 93. The (2) modern vehicles are recommended to use Premium. Both the classics have ''built'' 350's so I would never consider using less than 93...wherever available.

Re: Gas Prices?
$5.09 a gallon for premium yesterday when I gassed up my T bird. I put in mid grade 89 it was only $4.93
I'm waiting for delivery of my F450. It's a diesel and I'm dreading the first fill up. I believe that it has a 48 gallon tank. That's going to sting. I only hope it shows up with a full tank but I seriously doubt that it will. WTH. It beats running out of gas.

Re: Gas Prices?
Just reported on the news. Exxon and another oil company are on course to DOUBLE their profits this year. They have said many times their only obligation is to their share holders, not consumers.

Re: Gas Prices?
"The price of oil dropped Thursday after President Joe Biden reportedly asked big oil buyers such as India and Japan - as well as China for the first time - to consider releasing strategic stockpiles of crude."

Re: Gas Prices?
And, reportedly, he asked the FTC to look into whether big oil companies are inflating prices.
Also here we are hovering around 2.99 for regular this week.

Re: Gas Prices?
I got around the region a good bit yesterday and noticed about a $.30 fluctuation in prices, all in the same state with the same tax. All this talk about the world and I see the games being played locally

Re: Gas Prices?
I will wade into this and say that a President has very little impact on gas prices short term, supply and demand does with a large part of influence by OPEC. The one thing a President can do is release oil reserves in the short term as the current President did and also the previous President did in 2019. As much oil and gas reserves we have in the US, middle east countries can produce a barrel of oil cheaper. They do not have to drill sideways under mountains or by peoples backyards. If OPEC wants to flood the market with cheaper crude then thats what they will do and was able to drive some smaller oil companies out of business. If OPEC wants to inflate prices they produce less oil. Also during the pandemic there was less need for gas and thus less truck drivers to fill those gas stations so many were laid off. It takes a special license to deliver fuel to gas stations and that caused a shortage in qualified drivers, another factor. Gas prices actually started to rise in May of 2020 once agian who are you going to blame, not the President but supply and demand with a helping hand from OPEC.

But, overall it is a supply and demand thing. Oil field workers were laid off in 2020 and parts of 2021 due to the pandemic. Which had a HUGE # of normally commuting work force staying at home. Not to mention those that just flat out lost their jobs. Aviation fuels took a dive along with many other fuel based items. That's why your fuel prices dropped so much. Well...our economy has come back pretty hard and fast. Now production is up and people are back on the road and planes are flying. Those that want jobs seem to have them. It is always a vicious circle. |

"President Donald Trump said Sunday he has authorized the release of oil from the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve after attacks on key production facilities in Saudi Arabia cut the kingdom’s crude production by half. Trump said oil would be released if needed to keep the market well supplied. The president also said that he has informed the appropriate agencies to expedite the approval of oil pipelines still in the permitting process in Texas and other states." Then, approximately 6 months later, in 2020, ordered all of the US Fuel Reserves to be "Topped-Off". BTW: Regular Gas today, here, is at $ 3.09. |

“About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- a monthly record -- was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Three cargoes were loaded onto a supertanker in the U.S. Gulf Coast and are headed to Asia.”
