Gas prices

[binkerton]

I don't check in much anymore. I moved out of Indiana.

Yes, still much happier having Biden than Trump.

Then you are truly braindead. See yourself out and dont let the door hit ya.

I'll go out on a limb here and say, he's not entirely wrong. Oil companies have plenty to do with it.

Oil companies have been raking in record profits as the price we pay at the pump goes up and up. They could choose to lower their margin a bit and help out the masses, but they won't. Their primary responsibility is to their shareholders and their shareholders demand maximized profit. 2020 was a rough year for big oil. They aren't about to cut us a break.

And oil employees could take pay cuts to also bring the price down. Same with doctors and nurses when it comes to reducing medical costs to patients. I guess we could expect auto manufacture employees to do the same to reduce the price we pay for cars. Should we go on to every job that has had higher prices on their goods and services over the last year? Pointing fingers as you are takes the light off the one responsible for allowing it to get to this point.

We torched our relationship with the Saudis over dumbass lib freakouts and now they're telling us to pound sand when we need their oil.

Consequences.

Maybe we can tell them to pound sand at the next fighter plane purchase request.

Do YOU work for free? Or even take less pay to "help everyone else out"? Your ideology is screwy.

What could we get better prices on if we cut your income? All the bucks the executives get are a drop in the bucket of the price of a barrel of oil. You are not suggesting that the guys on the rigs take less? The drivers delivering take less?

It sure ain't me. Have a feeling my boat won't be leaving home this year... again. Although I do my best to avoid buying gas at any marina.

My rich brother out east owns an 18,000 lb Carolina Cruiser with two turbo diesels. I believe it has 500 gallon tanks. He is totally conservative and as pissed as I about current .gov and current events. While he can certainly afford the higher prices, he knows many people can not, and he does care. I'm going to make him take me joy riding in it this spring, just for the hell of it!

Chicago Illinois or Commifornia I hope and I think he will fit in well. Jim.

Wow! “Price gouging”. Where people tell the owner what price he is allowed to charge for what he owns.

What on earth is wrong with buying low and selling high?

A lot depends on circumstances, unless you approve of things like Skrelli raising the price of epipens to $600 just because he could

 

[BugI02]

We have been short a couple of bidiots to stir the pot. I hope you didn't move to Ohio.

Me too!

Trying To figure this out. Got gas tonight 87 octane regular was $4.25, 89 octane mid grade $4.55, 93 octane $4.90. The 90 octane ethanol free was $4.06.

Why?
