Can not compare last years price to this years price. At 1 time in 2020 oil was selling at a negative price.

Gas prices are a problem for some of us but would bet that they affect less than 5% of people in TV.

Oil companies and/or oil producing countries control the supply and they have 0, Nada etc reasons to increase production and reduce the price. They are more concerned about making money and increasing stock holder value.

OPEC+ has already announced they will start ramping up production in Dec with the goal of getting back to pre COVID levels over the next year or so. Yes, they will milk it a bit but they are going to increase production.

I was just at Sam's Club and gas has dropped. Unleaded was $2.98 a gallon.

I posted about Sam's prices so fellow Villagers can get a better price on gas. The national average has nothing to do with my post! Every place in Sumter I saw today was $3.19 or less. Prices in Sumter are coming down.

I never mentioned the "National Average"...

But yes, Sam's is a good price. Which is good, IF you are a Sam's Club member...

Well, that seems to be true at THAT Sam's Club. But state wide, they're still higher than a month ago, and WAAAAY higher than a year ago...

In September, the Eurozone inflation increased by an annual 3.4 percent in September. In the US, inflation increased by an annual 5.4% in September.

BJ's in Clermont had regular gasoline at $3.01 today...(of course I filled up a $3.23 a few days ago)

Gasoline price is determined in the future market. The current policy is to reduce US production so traders anticipate shortages in the future and price will be the rationing mechanism as always.

You do know everything green made from fossils fuels, mined with fossil fuels and electricity majority charge their batteries produced by fossil fuels. You can not have anything green without fossils fuels or mining. Don’t say mining trucks have electric motors, they do but the generator turned to produce that much power used big Diesel engine.

This week, I pretty sure it will be 3.50 by end of the year? Another thing it’s only going down cause china dumping reserves on the market. When they gets snapped up prices will go up.
