Gas Prices

Gas prices are on the way up, and up, and up. Thanks Democraps. Rant over!!

Good deal

It'll help a lot of folks if the price goes up a little bit.

Just wait ! There is a whole lot more to come!

man is the only animal on the planet that will assist in their own demise and destruction knowingly.

Be a patriot. We need to support the Texas gas and oil industry.

Not me..

Gas is at $2 a gal.
Interest rates at 2.25% for a 30 year.
Market closed at 30,829.40 (though we've been fighting Covid).
No new wars or conflicts in the last 4years.
N. Korea has been held under control.
ISIS has not been heard from in over three years.
The housing market is the strongest its been in years.
Homes have appreciated and sell well.
Unemployment sit's at 6.7% in spite of Covid.

Let's see what happens now.

Not me.

I’ll never think of you as a patriot-

I'm all about supporting the Texas oil and gas industry but I think Biden has other ideas. He wants to take a step back in time. Import more? I don't know, I hope not!

Build Back Better = Fall Back Farther

Good Luck,
Bozz

[quote=steveiam][quote=fishslime]Be a liberal patriot. We need to support the Texas gas and oil industry. Conservatives already support the oil and gas industry

FIFY

Biden is not for supporting Texas oil and gas. Gonna shut down the Keystone XL in the next week. It goes straight to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. Time to punish red Texas.

Just bought a Chevy Spark. Won't hurt me.

Is there in plastic polymers in it?

Lots of plastic something. I don't know.

We need to revisit this statement in 4 years

How big of a boat will that pull?

I’ve been in the oil and gas pipeline line of work for 25 years and I e never seen it this bad and expect it to get worse. This current rise in oil prices doesn’t seem to influence the Texas oilfield work at all. Hopefully I’m wrong and things will pick up

It will be a s show of the highest order. Watch them mess the whole deal up. Not my president

And for the record I would like to see 75 dollar oil and 6 dollar nat gas

I made a photo of the gas price sign when the democrats were elected ($1.75). I’m going to spring it on my yellow dog democrat friend when i can get the most yes out of it.
It will be epic as he is very sensitive to gas prices.

It's gonna get a llt worse before it gets better.

It's why I bought the Sonata over the Santa Fe.

Obama put restrictions on oil exploration just as the fracking tech was allowing it to be exploited. He had little to do with the rise in oil production till 2014 when world oil prices tanked.
Gas prices went from highest to lowest in 2008. In 2014 the value of the dollar is what is blamed for the glut.

We even had that instance in which oil dropped way below zero, under 35 dollars they would give you to take it off their hands, due to oil futures and the end of a quarter.....or something like that.

Trump opened up offshore and more drilling in Alaska and yet nobody has taken advantage of it.
Face it, Gas prices are affected much more by the world market, the economy and technology than politicians.

I'm still looking forward to buy my F250 with the 7.3 gasser when the updated interiors come out.

In the great words of Scott Miller

"7 and 1/4 tons of pure mule power
Rollin’ down the road at 8 miles per gallon"

I fish from the bank. Don't matter.

I take this fishing. Works great.

Well everyone knows the president has a dial in his office that changes prices on the fly as they see fit. Has nothing to do with anything else but what president is in office. Can't be.

How do all the goods get to you from where they are produced? By ox-drawn wagon? The wheat in your flour came from where? That wheat grew in a field tilled and harvested by a farmer; do you think he was using mules to do that? A notable portion of the cost of all the food that you eat is attributable to farming, production, packaging, transportation, and storage (think refrigeration). Good luck with your idea that you won't be affected.

You clearly do not understand the impact of the cost of energy on the mechanics of the remainder of our economy. How do all the goods get to you from where they are produced? By ox-drawn wagon?

Well. Folks voted for the wrong guy to help gas and oil in Texas.

You can carry rods all of 5 feet in the "rod locker" on that thing?

Can’t get any worse than that! Lol.

Wait until they start applying carbon credit taxes to fuel after sleepy Joe rejoins the Paris climate accord - where we will willingly agree to hamstring our economy according to the desires of other nations. Said tax will penalize users, but the the $ won't be going to the fuel producers.

WTF is your paranoid azz talking about?

Way too factual for this crowd.....

You guys are not part of any crowd I want to associate with anyway-

I buy close to 10000 gallons a year through my business, I did an 4 year average of Obamas second term and came up with an average of 3.23 a gallon. Granted the bulk of my fuel in purchased in summer. Trumps avg was $1.89. Fuel saving of 13k a year. This is just simple math and just one of the many reasons why Dems and their save the planet wacko ideas hurt regular folks.

Boys even though I’m republican, how does the president control gas prices? Through the last 100 years it’s a .06 cents difference in price per gallon. The highest gas price was $4.11 in 2008 when Bush was president. As they start drilling on my little 80 acres I have mineral rights I hope it goes exponentially high prices for myself. That’s being selfish. But I think world trade controls more of the price and world events.

Actually the President can. Bush and Clinton allowed legislation to be enacted which allowed big investment groups to trade in energy futures and to trade through the London exchange, which has no oversight by the SEC. This contributed greatly to the "speculation" event which drove pump prices up to $4.00 a gallon. Probably not a factor presently, but it was during that time. Reading about it shows what they do behind the scenes to benefit lobbyists at the expenses of citizens.

Following

The OP said high gas prices "won't hurt me" which I took to mean "that won't affect me." I was pointing out how entrenched energy costs are in key goods in our civilization. Even people who don't own anything to drive will feel the cost in many ways.

WTF he is prolly talking about is that just because you now drive a cracker jack box on wheels that uses the wind for power, does not mean for one second that you still will not be affected by high gas prices dude. You just watch food prices start to go up as well as a whole ton of other chit. That's WTF he is prolly talking about.

That's part of the plan man. Drive those prices up, and people will want electric cars more.

I say that only half joking I wouldn't doubt if that is part of the plan.

In 20 years, I'd bet over half the cars on the road will be electric. Maybe sooner than that.

Without a doubt that is part of the master plan!

Buy Ford stock!

I am retired now, but when I was a farmer, I found much of my cost was related to fuel prices as many of the inputs were energy related. But, since what I was producing was energy in another form, it seemed that my profits were always best when oil was in the $75-85 range. We became much more energy efficient with new farming methods, so the actual input cost were down. We need a healthy energy environment, but one that is stable and does not go from $20 to $150/bbl in a short time. We should be relatively energy independent for some time, so the whims of some foreign government will have less effect.

Bringing this nation to its knees.

Gas is just one item going up in cost. You have not seen nothing yet. The cost of living is going to SKY ROCKET very very soon. The Dems have TOTAL CONTROL of the country. Their agenda is to destroy the "Middle Class". Just my two cents.

Yep. Already, after day one there is about 8000 people that lost their jobs. And the crowd cheers. ?

Agree, my wife has one, and they are ideal for most people that don't have long commutes or drive 100s of miles on the weekend to remote areas

Very relaxing and fun to drive (very, very quick smooth acceleration)
Very safe cars
Extremely efficient
Low maintenance
Never have to go fill up with gas or get routine oil changes.

The BIDEN plan is very simple! What is bad for the United States is good for China! The labor camps in China will be working overtime thanks to the USA!

Since my guy didn’t win, should I wish for a recession now?

Like you did?

It will me. Right now I am only going through one tank a month. The money I make off my oil company stocks is more then offsetting the price increase on gas. I do need to put about 60 gallons in the Champ before it goes up much more.

Yes Sir. Plane and simple. Facts are facts. $4.00 a gallon of gas is coming soon.

You might be right but need to see the facts. With an apparent glut of crude, I'll be surprised to see this happen. For one thing, the economies around the globe can't handle it. When the Saudis lose their cash flow due to more supply than demand, they'll take action and increase production. These aren't neessarily facts but indicative of past history.

The gubbermint just printed over six TRILLION dollars.

The price of gas is going to be the least of your concerns in about one year.
