Jan 20 2025 price of gas

$3.15 for the lowest grade gas this morning in Indy. Can't wait to get back to $2/gallon! Any day now, I can feel it.
It actually should go down this spring/summer, but not from anything Trump is doing. It’s been predicted since this time last year. Don’t worry, Trump will take credit and dumbasses will give him credit.
 
I've told my friends who only watch Fox News the same about oil production. They literally had no idea the levels we are currently producing. Fox conveniently leaves that out of their reporting. These guys also don't understand global supply and demand.
All they see is the price at the pump. Which everyone agrees is too high. They don't, most don't, understand why the price it what it is though. They also don't understand the severe consequences of crashing oil prices enough to significantly lower gasoline prices.
 
On a related note, wife just went to the store and a dozen eggs are $4.17. Not the fancy ass kind either. I feel like they were $1 forever. WTF
Shelves are actually empty of the store brand of eggs at my Publix yesterday. They get them from a Georgia supplier that is 100% shut down by H5N1. So you can just get the froo-froo organic fancypants doz eggs for $6, or 6 for $4.29

I guess in the future, though, we will fire all of those scientists testing for bird flu and not take such precautions. Blissful ignorance for the win.
 
The U.S. did not take over as the largest oil producer in the world until 2018. As for Biden, the U.S. produced more oil during his four years than during Trump's. Also, the gap between the U.S. and the next largest producer grew by quite a bit. Production tanked in 2020 due to Covid, and that production took a couple years to recover. But that had nothing to do with Biden. Production increased every year under Biden.

Yes, imports have increaed a bit - but that too had nothing to do with Biden. Exports increased more than imports during Biden's four years. And that's not because of "environmental, political and economic problems."

WTF is your problem, posting all these inconvenient facts?

This thread would be better served with focus on sexual innuendo than pointless attempts at claims. What happens when you have materially higher average oil prices? Higher profits per existing production and more investment in incremental production.

Honestly, as someone who puts MAGA above my faith, I hope Trump does what’s right by lifting more regulations and allowing people to have their eggs with the chance of bird flu. I mean, it’s just like the common cold. No need to lock down my eggs.

Patience. Inflation is a global issue. Compare how we do against other countries and revisit his performance in the years to come.

Well yeah, inflation is a global issue - especially when you have the presumptive leader of the free world slapping tariffs on everything but the air we breathe.

You’ve got bigger problems. Where’s Acosta?
 
We need less talk about talks and more action.

Heading to Costco this morning. I’ll report back. Hoping the EO gender thing of male and other helps my wallet.
No, but you’ll see fewer illegals & less DEI hires. 😁

higher at Shell, of course

What's going on currently is no defense for what happened in 2021 which was my post. And yes we were the largest oil producer for about 50-60 years until about 1978. Your chart also shows production grew at a double digit growth from 2017-2021 (except for covid) then the growth went down to single digits although I expect when the 2024 numbers come in it will be double digits. But the pace slowed considerably.

Here is an article from Dan Eberhart CEO of Canary Drilling Services with a timeline from 2021 until changes were finally made.


 
For the last 4 years many on this board blamed any increase in prices on Biden. Didn't matter if it was a refinery fire, ice storm in the South cutting power, or Bird Flu. It was always due to Joe.
There were also many saying prices weren't that bad and weren't affecting anyone. That people were being misled by right wing propaganda and such.

Same. Ripping out what were once starter homes in desirable burbs and building 7 figure homes that look like new construction in Charleston. Very odd
They suck. All out of proportion to the lot size. Ruins the character of a neighborhood.

Lots of towns/villages around here have done that. Fortunately, mine is not one of them.
