Gas prices 2019 and beyond

I was in the St Pete Beach area of FL last week and gas was between $3.29 and $3.49
First station I saw back on LI after pulling out of MacArthur airport on Vets highway was $3.11
NY and LI is NOT as bad and overtaxed and overpriced as some people want to make it out to be
When I was last in the UK - about 19 years ago "petrol" was in the $7 to $8 range. They posted their price in liters not gallons. I guess they thought it wouldn't appear as expensive as it actually was.
:D

No one drives an SUV or truck unless it was needed for working. So depending on your perspective "we ain't got it so bad". No idea what it is these days.
 
How do they not see that Biden and his greedy buddies screwed us all for money

Just so we're all on the same page, Biden's buddies are the oil industry and simultaneously those attacking the oil industry to reduce demand?
Sometimes capitalism is bad?
BTW, who appointed CEO of Exxon Sec'y of State?

Price of gas:
March 2016: 1.85
March 2017: 2.34 (up 26%)
March 2018: 2.60
March 2019: 2.54
March 2020 - things started getting weird and are still settling out.
$2.54 plus 26% = $3.20.
Also, there's probably a better reason that most of the world prices their gas in liters instead of gallons other than optics.
 

With WTI crude oil, the US benchmark, trading at around $87 per barrel, the DOE said it was protecting "the taxpayer’s interest" by declining to buy oil above its target price of $79.

But there might be other reasons.

"The Department may have decided it does not want to risk driving prices any higher," ClearView Energy Partners surmised in an April 3 analysis. Any new demand, whether from the government or the private sector, puts upward pressure on prices, and it’s clearly not in Biden’s interest to do that.
Finally, the Biden administration appears set to continue sanctions relief on Venezuelan oil sales that it established last October, even though Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is not abiding by the conditions Washington laid out last year. Relief essentially lets Venezuela sell a bit more oil to the United States and to other global buyers, marginally increasing the global supply.

None of these moves involves a lot of oil, which may indicate just how anxious Biden and his reelection team are about the prospect of higher gas prices.

That’s what happens when you reward the few ( his special interest friends) that are heavily invested in transporting foreign oil as a kick back that screws the people you work for.
