Just not that big of a deal for most people. Irritating? Sure. But if $20 a month in gas is going to break your budget, you are living dangerously on the edge.

Gas taxes suck though. I am okay with fuel prices being higher if it helps Houston or Texas based energy companies. Gas tax only helps the government.

That being said, I guess if you had to raise taxes I'd rather it be a consumption or flat tax than a progressive tax.

Gas prices (while annoying) don't move the needle for me as much as home insurance, property taxes, car insurance, etc. Those tend to impact the budget a little more.

In summary, these type of fuel increases only help the government. I prefer them to a progressive tax if those are the 2 options. They are irritating but not devastating to most people.

---

Yes, because the increased cost will ONLY show up when you purchase a tank of gas. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

---

It will show up other places. Though fuel prices will continue to ebb and flow. Just like they have for the last 20 years. Commodity prices can increase or decrease in a week.

What exactly is going to cause commodity prices to decrease at this point in time? The answer...not a damn thing. Adding any increased cost will simply compound the inflation we are experiencing.

Weird, it's almost like the price of oil has recovered from the low $20's a year ago to the mid $60's as of today, now that a large chunk of last year's tremendous supply glut has been burned off and worldwide fuel demand has begun to approach pre-pandemic levels.

One might even notice that just getting back to this point required required OPEC+ to shut in millions of barrels/day of production and domestic US producers to slash hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of planned CAPEX.

These threads are always hilarious, "Lib-tards are dummies and don't understand economics. Now why hasn't new POTUS kept gasoline as cheap as it was last year? Filling up my truck sucks now!"

---

wow, inflation is Carter level. the bold part is true.

All I see is If's and But's from you. No real reasoning...

Let's try a different approach. In case you are not aware, supply chain across the board is a disaster. In many cases, it is a lack of raw materials; however, that only tells half of the story. In other scenarios the materials are ready to go, but you cannot get them shipped. Why does this matter? Simple supply and demand. Demand is up and supply is down, in regards to freight. ANY increased cost will give the freight companies cover to charge 4-5X + for freight. In turn that cost will be passed on through to the consumer.

So your $20 / month gas bill increase is a complete fallacy.

You need to work on your procurement/logistics department if you are getting 4X-5X cost increases pushed on you.

The real reasoning is that average oil prices have gone from:

2004 - $42/barrel
2008 - $100/barrel
2009 - $60/barrel
2013 - $98/barrel
2015 - $48/barrel
2018 - $65/barrel
2020 - $40/barrel
2021 - $71/barrel (today)

Prices have changed due to war, taxes, new innovations, pandemics, increases in demand, decreases in demand, recessions, trade agreements, etc.

Oil prices have a certainty of changing in the next 1-2 years pretty significantly. With demand peaking and supply chains coming back online and slowly filling backlog, the prices will likely drop again at some point.

It's obvious you are clueless, so I will leave you with this. The price per barrel of oil only tells part of the story. You are not accounting for anything else. Not the production cost, not the transportation cost, not the labor cost, all of which have gone up substantially. But please, continue with your charge of "oil / barrel is less than all time highs" nonsense.

Now do inflation, artificial restriction of domestic drilling policy, increased reliance on imported fuel, and every other factor that has changed since Biden took office. Your attempt to remove any culpability from Democrat energy policy is stupid.

I bet you support the shutdown of the Keystone pipeline while also green lighting the Nordstream line to Russia. Even if you don't, you voted for it.

Guys...oil and gas actually costs less now due to inflation. We saved on hot dogs for 4th of July "bbq" too

Voted for Trump, the Biden energy policies are idiotic and one of the main reason I voted against him, and the Keystone pipeline would have been nice to have been completed. Wish Trump had focused more heavily on completing it in his 4 years.

Anything else?

The Dems have fracked over America...again. This is not anything different.

I do not benefit from high oil prices as I have no financial incentive; however, this time I hope it goes higher and stays there for awhile. Biden/Democrat voters need to feel the pain of their poor decision making. Too bad it harms most of the rest of us as well, but the dumb ass liberal voters need a wake up call. Elections have consequences and the Democrat party seizing power in 2020 has turned out to be a disastrous sad state of affairs. They're so bad at decision making yet so good at creating propaganda to trick their moronic followers into believing their lies, that it's truly amazing.

then it will be up to the GOP to point out that the billions of dollars Biden is giving to Iran, are then going to buy billions of dollars worth of Russian weapons, grain, wheat and other services.

Didn't see the call out. There are about 15 threads about the price of gas. I was certainly dead wrong on this one. I'm fine eating crow on that! Silver lining is that it will have a significant effect on midterms.

Though I believe the prediction I made above is that "oil prices have a certainty of changing in the next 1-2 years pretty significantly" based on war, taxes, new innovations, etc. I'm fine standing behind that prediction.
