i think you mean when the oil companies stop making record profits to recoup the losses they suffered under trump.

It is a free market...but the record losses had more to do with states and cities shutting down and staying shut down.

Note that prices ranged between $2 and $3 from 2014 to 2021...under multiple Presidents.

The days of shale max growth is history. Fiscal discipline is the order of the day.

Yup. That’s the economic reality….

I did. Shutting down states and cities was pretty stupid. Other than that, what was your point?

Prices ranged between $2 and $3 from 2014 to 2021...under multiple Presidents and multiple economies (much like inflation which was relatively benign). It only changed abruptly when how the nation approached oil and gas changed.

I’ll be filling up Thursday. Last time I looked it was $4.19 a gallon.

That is an interesting theory...and not without merit. That the nation's oil and gas producers all realized that they could no longer profit by producing additional oil/gas somewhere around late January 2021 which made prices shoot up dramatically over the past 18 months? It is almost like they turned on a dime based on some new reality/threat to the energy industry. I wonder what event/disaster caused their sudden change in sentiment/investment plans between November 2020 and late Jan 2021? Any idea?

You mean, when it gets closer to the gas price you are entitled to?

If it was the gas price I'm entitled to, they'd be paying me! Yep... I'm just that awesome.

Well, if you really don't know... down from earlier high prices! But I'll be certain to let you know when gas gets back down to $1.89.

$3, would make me happy. $3.85 at Sams here a couple days ago. $4.15 at the circle S. +.70 for the premium I need.

I refuse to buy a vehicle that needs premium fuel. I know that rules out a lot of fun cars, but I just can't bring myself to buy a car that I know will cost me more to fuel up.

I think we are entitled to the price that the free market would allow absent government actively working to reduce U.S production.

Both my Civic and my Prelude have large stickers on the inside of the gas door...'Premium Fuel Only'
I feel it's a fair trade-off for the great gas mileage they get. (40 and 33)
