I'm not American but I only filled up half way the other day. It is what it is... The high prices don't really hurry when it comes down to one tank or two . It's in the long run that its unsustainable.

They should keep gas prices high, because lowering gas prices is unfair to the people who already paid for their gas.

This comment is about college tuition…or healthcare. Take your pick.

Less than a second to go up, a geological epoch to come down again.

The situation is more fucked than western media has let on. There isn't really footage out of that area, nor are they allowing satelite, so few know what's going on. But reports have come in of a ton of damage. Even from what's been confirmed, a significant amount of oil infrastructure is offline and won't be online for months to years. We're about to see some long tail effects.

The Trump administration is burning cash to keep the paper price of oil low. But the price of a delivered barrel is is like almost $40 higher.

This is not meants as a doomerish post, just a long winded saying of don't expect gas to go down anytime soon, even if the news says that the futures oil price dropped, it might in fact even rise some more.

At least there will be absolutely no doubt as to whose fault that is! Those pump station stickers will be relevant for quite some time...

It's the onion, you shouldn't take it as a serious argument
