What's your gas price?

Just saw $4.29.
And we are usually towards the lower end nationally.

Two years ago is not a valid comparison. Oil went negative due to lack of demand as Covid kept everone home.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 12:15 pm2 years ago in Atlanta - @$1.60

OK, before the covid dip in Atlanta it was about $2.25BackInTex wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 1:11 pmTwo years ago is not a valid comparison. Oil went negative due to lack of demand as Covid kept everone home.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 12:15 pm2 years ago in Atlanta - @$1.60

Three years ago it was $2.946.

OK. I was just curious, but since you brought it up.
It would be nice to have a debate with some Republican candidate who would discuss their ideas about inflation and the economy. But all they want to discuss are critical race theory, boys playing girls' sports, and how the 2020 election was stolen.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:52 pmThe quietly competent administration has put their best minds on the problem of rising gas prices and inflation in general. And their answer is that they've narrowed it down to what? about a dozen reasons to blame for it?
You think the President control gas prices?flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:52 pmOK. I was just curious, but since you brought it up.
That's a new one, NE. The quietly competent administration has put their best minds on the problem of rising gas prices and inflation in general. And their answer is that they've narrowed it down to what? about a dozen reasons to blame for it? I would assume they would put me in the ultramaga category, so part of it is my fault, I guess, and I apologize for that. But your scapegoat never made it to their list. You might want to let them know to add it to their list.
But they are diligently working to solve the problem. The answer, apparently, is to stop as much oil production as possible. And they are doing a fine job, starting with Keystone and progressing.

Of course, we all know that these leases would not increase the supply overnight, so it's ok. Oil prices are not affected at all by the prospect of future supply. We all know that.
We can always raid our strategic oil reserves of cheaper oil. We can always refill it later at much higher prices, because, after all, it doesn't matter how much the federal government spends, at least until bob starts getting nervous, and I'm sure he will let them know when that happens.
Oh, and as we all know, it would have been several magnitudes worse if trump was president, so let's all be thankful.
Really don't give 2 shits what they pay in other countries, BJ. Not too many other people care, either.Bob Juch wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 7:57 pmYou think the President control gas prices?flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:52 pmOK. I was just curious, but since you brought it up.

The price of oil is dropping.

So I guess that's one more thing we can't talk about? Don't pretend to be off to the side, wb. I am pretty confident that if gas prices doubled say, 2 years ago, you and your comrades would be going apeshit right now. Is that not correct, wb?wbtravis007 wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 8:14 amRiiiight.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 7:24 amKinda intended that way. But one of us wanted to push a button.

I imagine we would have been told that the doubling of gas prices was a white supremacist project because it affected people of color disproportionately.BackInTex wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 9:05 amThey went apeshit.

I didn't know about the tax suspension. Is that why it went down below $4 in the last couple of weeks? Now it's higher than it ever was. How much will they add when the tax comes back?
