Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Tell the good people at home how much prices will drop for a gallon of gas in 3 weeks? We're all ears. Do tell??

TBA.

Remember the USA is in a much different place from a year ago when COVID was ravaging the nation and people were being asked to stay home for the holidays and not gather in large groups. As a result a lot of oil refining capacity was taken off the table. A year later due to over 82% of Americans being vaccinated, citizens are beginning to travel at pre pandemic numbers causing a much greater demand for gasoline resulting in higher prices around the world.

President Biden is concerned that the oil companies are talking about record profits. He has tasked his subordinates to investigate if current gas prices are overpriced.

In contrast, there has not been a lot of ideas from Republicans on how to reduce prices other than to complain and ignore the fact that a global pandemic is still occuring.

C'mon. You've been bragging about what Joe is doing. Tell the good people at home how much gas will drop as a result of this? Give us a ballpark figure? Ready? Go. You can do it. Don't go speechless on us.

In Canada, like the rest of the world, gasoline is priced in terms of $/liter. The US unit of measure is different so I cannot predict the decrease. I have not priced anything in gallons in over two decades. Where I live the price of gasoline has dropped recently to around $1.41 per litre, which is still high. I now try and not drive my vehicle one day per week and when I do drive, I plan for multiple stops close together.

I am fairly sure that in the USA, consumers have enjoyed gas prices that were are less than the rest of the world on average for a long time.

Until gas rises to $4.25 per gallon in the USA, you are paying a lower price than I am per litre.


Mississippi average gas prices

Current Avg.	$3.061
Yesterday Avg.	$3.065
Week Ago Avg.	$3.080
Month Ago Avg.	$3.048

Thanks, I'm sure that makes everyone here in the USA feel much better. More bullshit.

... more reality. Higher gas taxes really do go to improvements in roads and bridges.

By all accounts Canada's infrastructure is in far better shape than the USA's which has been chronically underfunded so people can pay lower taxes.

Joe's new slogan should be: "As soon as you embrace the bad news, you'll feel much better."

... your slogan should be: "When I wake up this AM, I promise not to be a Boo-Bird" all day.

I cannot help the fact that the ex President suckered you into the greatest grift in US history and you cannot admit it and this is what makes you bitter every day.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

One way to lower gas prices is to lower the taxes being levied on each gallon. If you look at gas prices nationwide, heavily taxed blue states pay the most per gallon. Someone in California could come here to Texas and think we're having a black Friday gas sale. Wait, maybe that's why they are coming here...? The station by my office has been around $2.78 for a while, which is pretty good compared to a lot of other places right now.

After you bragged about Joe opening the oil reserves, I pressed you to tell us how much we could expect to save at the pump and you petered out. The boo birds will stay out for as long as Joe keeps shitting the bed. Booooo.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

.. .the release of 50M barrels of oil from the US Strategic Reserve will take about three weeks to get to market. The release is meant to reduce the price of gasoline in the USA only, not the entire global oil market.

... for every barrel that US refiners elect to take, they have to replace back at a later date, usually at a lower cost.

Kern County where I live in is a major oil production county. The former Naval Petroleum Reserves No.1 and No.2, collectively known as The Elk Hills Navel Petroleum Reserve were located in western Kern County. It is the fifth-largest oil field in California, and the seventh-most productive field in the United States. In February 1998 under Bill Clinton it was sold to Occidental Petroleum. Like all other US Naval Petroleum Reserves the oil at those reserves is still in the ground. The Reserve Fields will need to be put into production before even one teaspoon of oil makes it into the supply pipeline. That could take weeks to start and months before that full 50M hogs heads are full released. I wonder which of the major US oil companies they are going to award contracts for production to?

IMHO it will only delay future price increases for 3 or 4 months.

Actually COVID is worse in most Democrat controlled states now than a year ago. Even with the mNRA shots there has been a higher rate of infection and death than in 2020.

President Biden is concerned that the oil companies are talking about record profits. He has tasked his subordinates to investigate if current gas prices are overpriced.

He is so concerned that he is going to let them have 2.1 Billion US gallons of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves. As a results of actions he has already taken, OPEC controls the current price of gasoline and they told him to go play switch when he asked them to increase production.

In contrast, there has not been a lot of ideas from Republicans on how to reduce prices

Nothing that the liberal media will tell you about. Nothing the Queen Nan Nan will allow to even go to committee in the House.

College Students Shocked by Thanksgiving Inflation Admit Americans Were Better Off Under Trump


Students in Washington, DC were shocked to hear about this year’s Thanksgiving inflation, and said that Americans were better off under former President Donald Trump.


Campus Reform‘s Addison Smith talked to students in Washington, DC about reports that 2021 could be the most costly Thanksgiving dinner in American history, amid skyrocketing inflation.


When asked if the students have heard or thought about rising inflation ahead of this year’s Thanksgiving, many of them said they have not.


Smith then mentioned that last year’s Thanksgiving dinner was reportedly the least expensive in decades, adding that this year’s Thanksgiving could end up being the most expensive in American history.


“Wow, I had no idea, and I’m curious why that would be,” one student reacted.


“That’s crazy to hear that, I just wish I had paid more attention to that, I don’t even know, like, it’s not even on my radar,” another said.

That’s crazy to hear that. that says it all

Thanks for posting 4 years of wack Job is enough Americans FIRED his Ass Biggly

It is a very easy conversion. 1 Gallons (US) = 3.78541178 Liters. Or don't you know how to use a calculator.
