Worked at a full service gas station in high school with 2 bays for repairs. Mechanical pumps, cheap oil in cardboard quarts and mostly cash sales. Gas rarely went over 30 cents a gallon for regular.

Now we are in my wheelhouse     Any refinery that can run sour crude can and does process sweet. Just can't do it as efficiently. Fact, no refinery in the USA processes ONLY sour crude. They

Again politics is not a subject for the site. It's specifically mentioned in the site rules. People are only going to argue.   Gas price listing are fine without all the political comment.

Because that's unlikely?

 

IMO $200 is probably an extreme case but I don't think $130-$150 is out of the question if Operation Epic Failure drags on. 🤡

Only epic failure is you and your party's ability to comprehend GOOD policies. Kamala would rather have us nuked by Iran some summer instead of getting her feelings hurt by people mad over high gas prices. But, when that party is in power, nobody seems to mind high fuel costs? Funny how that works.

 

We endured 8 years of obama and 4 years of biden. It's a wonder America is still standing after all that.

200$ on the horizon? Sorry I’m an optimist.

This would be the 7th time we've "won" the war and about the 14th time we've "made progress" in negotiations with Iran before backtracking and threatening to blow them up. The only truth is Iran has 'x' number of days to completely surrender until we give them another 2 weeks to surrender.

 

In case optimist brain has already forgotten, we "completely destroyed" Iran's nuclear capability during strikes last summer and "completely eradicated" any nuclear threat. Which leaves one to wonder why we had to do it again this year, and if we'll have to do it again in the near future, since we still haven't been able to seize their supposed stockpiles of enriched uranium.

 

While WTI crude futures are down about 5% today, we won't know any long term trajectory until Iran confirms any deal. Sure as hell can't trust the dementia patient, he's already forgotten what he tweeted about this morning.

It’s wound be easy to end with complete destruction. A pause is to save lives. And to convince people who look for anything negative. That everything was tried. Of course we can continue to do it the old way and take our chances that they wouldn’t completely destroy the world because we aren’t fit to live according to their teachings. I choose patience pay a little more for gas. And then send them back to the Stone Age. Because that’s they want to do to us. Just in case you haven’t been listening.

Remember JCPOA which was ripped up in 2018 after 3 years of verified compliance by Iran? Gas prices were normal, the IAEA actually had visual inspections and tracking of any enrichment activities and we weren't tweeting about wiping a civilization off the earth every week.

 

Now gas prices are at their highest levels ever, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz affecting global energy pricing, and we're on the brink of nuclear war because a dictator in Israel finally goaded a US administration into advancing their interests.

Compliance? What are you smoking? So you think the underground enrichment facility was built since 2018 and producing weapons grade uranium? Keep on smoking.

I thought you could connect the dots. I try to spell it out slowly. On second thought I’m not going to waste my time. How   Is.    That? 🤮

Fordow is the facility you're talking about, it existed before 2018, and Iran used to allow the IAEA to monitor its activities until we violated our agreement with Iran. The JCPOA was torn up in 2018 by DD and we've had problems ever since.

 

You'd think we'd be able to at least achieve as much as the JCPOA afforded global nuclear stability by going to war for the last 90 days but we don't even have that AND us pump gas and diesels are at their highest prices ever.

 

$40 Billion on the taxpayer dime and counting, and not a yellow rock to show for it.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
