All these fuel increases definitely won't cause products to go up…according to some on here.
Or the extra paid at the pump is somehow worth it and making us safer. Nobody has ever been able to explain how though.

It's preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. So keep your receipts as a brag and the people who pay for the highest fill ups might have a chance to be featured during one of Trumps state of the union speeches for patriotic sacrifice.
If there was an end game sure, but there doesn't appear to be and end in sight

Watch the RNC tonight. Trump will give you an update while spiking the football for the 100th time.
Up to $3.999 on the SE side of San Antonio just now.
****ing ridiculous

Taking my kid to baseball yesterday and we saw $6.04/gal for diesel. West side of Houston at the Loves on I10.
I thought that started tomorrow
Given that the regular conventions are not covered in their entirety, it'll be curious to see how much live TV is devoted to this gathering and on what channels

Gas futures are off 2 percent today, fwiw. $3.19, though for the record yet again this isn't the price at the pump of course.
There are reports that Trump is likely to declare victory and leave
Allowing Oman and Iran to monetize control of the SOH
May or may not be true, but there are reports that he withdraw and reopening up the streets will happen in the next 72 hours
Which coincides with the RNC meeting in Dallas

At some point, you have to own the fact that we have been living in this "future," bubble for a while.
We aren't there. There is no point in saying we are going to get there because we haven't gotten there in months.

Nope. The price at the pumps I always go to jumped another dime last night to $3.89.

While I'm sure you have fans for such doom and gloom, I disagree. Oil and gas are flowing. We are in a good position to finish this and that will lead back to low gas prices.
The predictions of $250 oil all have proven false and histrionic.
nobody legitimate was actually predicting that
pretty sure it's back over 100 today though. definitely trending in the right direction!

meanwhile in reality i filled up for $3.87 at my local this morning, checked my CC statements and it was 40% higher than my last prewar fill up
Everything that I hear about inventory numbers is ... nervous. Now, admittedly, some people get paid to worry.
RAC. MF baseball……

Nobody? Really? I saw tons of headlines about that $200-250 figure when the conflict broke out. But yes to your point I don't give any credence/legitimacy to MSM outlets.
It's around $100 today because folks are nervous, not supply issues (WTI futures are still under that).
Oil out of the Persian Gulf is averaging around 15 mb/d, so we're running at 75% capacity compared to before the war. That implies - based on standard price elasticities of demand - a 33% premium over pre-war prices, so Brent should trade around $95....https://t.co/WI1ZPQCb1v pic.twitter.com/i775hy3MA2

And our President has promised sub-$2/gallon gas after the elections, presumably after the regime(s) collapses (possibly including CCP Carney up north).
Trump:

Right after the election, oil prices are gonna be tumbling downward.
We will get them down, below $2 a gallon. pic.twitter.com/RoIyqOAFik
It would be absolutely insane to vote for the (D) party that explicitly wants higher oil/gas/energy prices to get...lower energy/gas prices. Just my two cents. 'Under my plan, the cost of energy would necessarily sky rocket.'-Saint Sotero.

For someone who doesn't trust the MSM, you sure seem to quote them a lot and give them credit. No one on this thread had oil at $250.
Anywho, at least we can stop with the cope on this thread until after the midterms
2 dollar gas is one of the stupidest things he has promised. i know you don't believe the president can control gas prices

Ok I am not some 'believe every word he says' guy and admit I tossed that out there partially for amusement (note, not a troll!) but I think it's likely he sees it dropping short term if/when Iran collapses, and/or Ukraine and Russia come to some sort of terms about their spat. But I'll stop there to avoid derailing.
China buying more oil again is actually good because it means their economy isn't in free fall, plus they want to announce good stuff when Xi is in DC in a couple weeks.
$3.35 at the C-STAT Sam's yesterday, same as Friday. Not bad for Labor Day weekend.

Link?
Edited 90 minutes late: Since no link appears incoming, it should be noted Trump speaking prior to boarding AF1 for Texas in which he will speak on topics related to this thread, said he believes the war will end after the elections.
Gonna pump the diesel out of my truck, sell it and retire.
Uhm, the regime in Tehran has been 60 days away from collapse for about 10 years.

If you can't beat 'em, circumvent 'em.
Just like clockwork, as soon as Brent breaks $100 a barrel, a new plan to lower oil prices is announced. Sorry for my cynicism.

Cynicism with six months of data behind it is beyond understandable.
There's a reason more and more people on the right are expressing their frustrations about all things gas and diesel and related issues.

[We're going to keep this to a discussion on gas prices, trends, supply disruptions, and potential solutions. To the extent the Iran conflict influences those items, it's fair game for discussion, but we're going to remove any posts that are derails, like Trump is a dummy (or a rock star) as it derails the thread. Take that discussion to a different thread please -- Staff]
I don't get it.
Why do we have to wait another 60 days for prices to come down?????
He clearly knows the answer on how this will all work out, why play coy?
Below $3 reg gas is achievable, below $2 gas might be severable years in the future. You would have to expand nuclear generation and renewables to achieve. Even with added production from Venezuela and Iraq it will be down the road aways Until we adequately solve the battery storage problems with renewables, fossil fuels are here to stay.. I personally do not want to go back to the preindustrial age.
