    Supply and demand. When oil prices are low production eventually gets shutdown since it's not profitable. Then it takes time to restart and only when profitable. Plus OPEC is adhering more to their quotas. Biden may have a negative impact in the future but he's not the cause at the moment.

    If your car calls for regular there is no benefit to using a higher octane. Only use premium bass if the owners manual specifically calls for it.

    Well, don't get too comfortable in your Prius gaymobile, the electric industry is getting hit from all sides. Coal fired plant, no more. Hydroelectric, when was the last dam built? Nuclear, waaah, waaah, and solar, what a joke, everything we have done in solar in the last 20 years, doesn't even make 1% of our needs. Get a clue, the current generation thinks electricity comes from the plug on the wall, and food grows inside plastic bags!

    When gas was over $3, people didn't gripe a whole lot. And many people said it would never come down.

    At the time, I said it would fall to $2. Just a matter of when. I was wrong, it went well below $2.

    Some people are going to bitch and moan. They would do while being hung with a brand new rope!

    Gas prices rise, and they fall. Then they rise again, then fall again.

    Bitching about gas prices doesn't change a thing. Ya got two choices. Buy and keep driving, or stay at home because you don't have gas in your vehicle.

    Prius are not that. They are hybrid and they are good little cars. Wouldn’t trade mine.

    I just paid $2.09 per gallon - thanks democraps!

    Oh, and I’ve been meaning to inquire. How do y’all like paying 38.4 cents per gallon of gas (44.4 cents for diesel)?

    Folks in these parts crack me up. When a barrel of oil is cheap they bitch that the oil field jobs are drying up and that I’m filling my tank with the tears of starving Texans. When oil prices go up they blame the government for how much it costs to fill up their 10mpg pickup. Pick a damn lane and stick in it.

    You're missing the larger point......with the current admin, prices at the pump will go up, yes, but because of a stranglehold on supply, no new leases, etc., without the resurgence of the oil patch economy. So it's a double whammy to the negative and, mind you, exactly by design.

    And that's NOT including increasing the federal gas tax already being floated by the Bolsheviks now running the show.

    Always remember this quote.......which he regrets saying out loud.

    "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

    - Obama energy secretary Stephen Chu circa 2008
