Is it true, Tom Brady had to go back to work so he could fill up his gas guzzlers???

I'm looking forward to all the "Thanks Brandon" comments when gas settles back to its normal price range, having adjusted for the pandemic, supply gridlock, Russian invasion, etc.

Paid $5.29 /gallon for rec gas (non-ethanol) last week. I don’t use it in my golf cart but in my lawn mower , edger, blower and trimmer. Bad time to realize I was almost out of gas. Good thing I only needed three gallons. I use rec gas in my generator so hoping prices moderate before hurricane season!

Instead of filling up my golf cart for $8, it cost $18 last week. I guess elections do have consequences don't they?

Sorry not the way it works and not greed. The stations bought the gas when it was high and have to sell it for the higher cost until they have depleted that inventory. Gas goes up and down with the cost of oil but it is slower to respond to drops. The oil suppliers control the price by controlling supply not the gas stations.

Solution; sell “up north” and stay here!

It's not optimal for sure. I'd love to see gas prices lowered. Heck I'd do a big happy dance and buy everyone a round at the bar if prices got down under $2/gallon.

But as long as people rely on oil, the oil refineries will have us by the cajones. There's absolutely zilch anyone can do about it OTHER than start encouraging and using alternative energy sources.

…….or simply use our own, American, available but, now, underutilized energy sources until those other energy solutions become a reality

No too hot here in the summer! Last trip we made from north to south cost (1325 Miles) us about $105. Come this May I'm guesstimating it could run as high based on $7 per gallon, time will tell. The good news is here based on how little we use our van it's about $15 per week.

Gee. Wouldn’t that be great. But no, wait, wasn’t that what we were in the process of doing up until last year? Oh yeah. Must have been the Covid-19.

Personally I don’t think we’ll ever see $2. a gal. no matter who gets in charge. Those days are over!

USA Prices still half of those in the UK - spare a thought for us !!

Exxon made 84% profit last year. The others made no less than 38%. All from exporting cheaper U.S. oil and selling more expensive imported oil to us. Too bad we can't all go to a "Mom & Pop" American refinery to get gas.

Imagine if We were still digging Coal and Drilling Oil wells like We use to do! More people would be working and America would be thriving….. We’d be an Energy Independent nation again!!!

Gas would be $1 gallon and home gas and elec bills would drop.

Inflation would be history, national debt soon paid back from energy export sales, and the USA would be the energy powerhouse of the world for the next 100 years.
