Setting the record straight, the local report.

[Hertervillian]

Checked just 30 minutes ago same station 88 is now $3.20/gal.

It was a dollar less when the first Tomahawk flew a few weeks ago, and now it’s $0.40 less.

Like it or not America leads the free world and IS its "protector".... the world will soon be a better safer place and gas will come down... It's still less than the Biden non covid era

 

[GSP7]

Yeah diesel is up $1.50 per gal and frikin rising every day.
I thought we didnt import any Arab oil any more and were oil self sufficient .... Are the gas co. scamming us stealing our money.

 

[protoolman]

Trolls don't last long here, make up your fantasy world elsewhere. You're eating up the Soap Opera that passes for "news" as too many low IQ people do. I like to think the majority here are smart enough to see through the noise and see the facts.

Back to gas prices ….. this is Lounge, not Politics section

 

[thinckley]

I feel for the diesel drivers, unlike the poor SOB's in California who voted for the taxes, they are getting royally hosed.

Gas here is averaging about $3.84/gallon, but Utah has always been higher than the national average, even though there are refineries not 20 miles from my house.

Speaking of Cali, I saw something that was saying that they have legislated a special mix for fuel, one that, other than the refineries in Cali, no one makes outside of Asia. Now that they have driven most of the refineries out of the state, their only option is to ship it in from Asia... hope they like $10/gal.....

I thought we didnt import any Arab oil any more and were oil self sufficient

We are mostly self-sufficient, but a shortage anywhere raises prices everywhere. Unfortunately, there is no law that I am aware of that prevents the oil companies here selling their oil to Europe to turn a profit.

$4.29 in my town, but I really don't drive that much to worry about it.

[Hawk-in-Wi]

$3.29 in LaCrosse WI, 3.39 in Sparta WI which is just 25 miles east of LaCrosse and it's 3.69 in Tomah WI which is just 18 miles father east of Sparta all at Kwik Trip

 

[golferboy426]

Hittman the OP's post was clearly political..maybe the whole thing should be moved

 

[JAYDAWG]

$5.49 in the socialist state of Washington...................2nd in the nation behind Cal-unicornia
BUT, this is how the leftists want it

The US runs on diesel. Farm tractors, trucks, trains, some ships and more.

As far as importing oil yes we do.

The United States produces more oil than any other country, averaging about 13.5 million barrels per day in 2024. But it still imports roughly 6.5 million barrels per day of crude oil, mostly because American refineries need specific types of oil that domestic wells don’t always produce. The result is a complex supply picture where the U.S. is simultaneously the world’s largest oil producer, a major importer, and a net exporter of total petroleum products.

Just paid $5.95/gal for diesel.....absolute manure

I think the point was, none of our oil come through Hormuz.

20,000,000 barrels per day.....

 

[Johnnu2]

I wonder where it all comes from....????

[Randyzzz]

Can’t speak to diesel, but regular unleaded is hovering at $4.99 a gallon here in Southern Oregon. And to add insult to injury, our lovely governor is trying increase the state gas tax to .46 a gallon.

 

[blume357]

I still think it's all a scam and we have been indoctrinated to accept it... anything untoward happens... hurricane, tornadoes, computer hack, drop a bomb on a country and the price of gas / diesel immediately goes up.... how did the gas that is sitting in a tank either at the store or even down the road in one of those big ones and has already been refined and such get more expensive.... do the folks at the grocery store run around and raise the price for the milk and eggs sitting on the shelves when these things happen?

 

[Mobuck]

^^^Unfortunately correct. The crude being refined to make the gas/diesel in the pumps was bought and paid for months ago plus there's enough crude in storage to keep everything running for months to come. It's a scheme to line pockets in the oil/fuel/processing world.
And YES, grocery stores raise prices on shelves often. Any/all retail sales outlets price stocks on hand to meet expected replacement costs regardless of how much/little the older stocks cost.

 

[Cholo]

Gov. Kemp suspended the state gas tax of 33¢ for 60 days starting March 20. Yesterday the gas price at Costco went down 20¢.

Sounds about right LOL

Edit to add: Costco just went down to $3.06 meaning the 33¢ has been subtracted from the original $3.39 price. I wonder how many other stations will lower their original price 33¢?

 

[DGW1949]

Actually, motor-fuels are on sale right now.....The problem is not the price of gasoline, the problem is increasingly worthless "money" we have been forced to use.
To give what you just read a bit of clarity, a REAL U.S. Dime presently has a silver scrap value of just over $5.00...that's plenty enough to buy a gasoline almost anywhere in the United States, and in most cases, you'd get change back.
Reference:
https://www.coinflation.com/coins/1946-1964-Silver-Roosevelt-Dime-Value.html

Thing is, there are no real dimes in circulation, or quarters, or half dollars, or silver dollars. There used to be. In fact there were gazillions of them......so where did they all go?.....In 1965, your so-called leaders had the banks start collecting them all and trade you back fame money instead. In other words, the government/banking cartel (AKA Federal Reserve) stole them from you while you were looking the other way.

Just saying that if you're mad about fuel prices, THAT is who you should be mad at.

Please don't give outsiders the wrong idea by calling the Oregon governor "lovely". She is in fact an ugly snaggle tooth, lying, cheating, confused carpet muncher that need to be exterminated. If she were a few years younger she would be sporting blue hair and protesting anything and everything.
Crossed fingers and really hoping for some changes in May and November.

I just call he/she Butch.

 

[blume357]

I know you were speaking off the cuff AJGUNNER but you really took your condemnation of your governor a little too far.... there is a word in your post that can get you visited by some folks.
