During the pandemic, we had a glut of gas, everybody was home bound. Nobody traveled for vacations, work, no fishing, waterskiing, no airline flights. So if we had a high demand for gas during the pandemic, where did it come from? During the pandemic, cruise ships were shutdown, airlines were hurting, and it took over 2 years for these institutions to get back on their feet. I’ll bet 1/2 the employees of this country are still telecommuting so the demand is still weaker than before the pandemic.
Forbes used to a wonderful common sense magazine that taught lots about running businesses. Unfortunately the family sold the business and it went straight downhill. Different editorial philosophy, less issues for more money.

Stopped getting it a few years ago and if anything it is getting worse.
