BTW - I got gas today and it was $2.69. So better than 3 weeks ago by $0.20.
Gas Prices, am I right?!

All administrations piss down our backs. Imo, foolish to think otherwise.
And they have since the 60s ( that's as far back that I remember).
Par4QC All of that is mainly due to Covid. Wages/income skyrocketed in order to get employees to work, or even stay working. Anyone selling anything is going to have to raise prices, and even those that don't need to, will & did.
Who was in office during the start & height of Covid.....and could have done A LOT more to stop what we are seeing now?
That man......
And that's why we need more folks like you engaged in these types of discussions. Finally, a voice of reason, knowledge, and understanding! Thank you!
johnnydoom Tell that to my boss. I have not seen engineering wages increase 40% since Covid. Please don't tell me it's raining while the administration is pissing down my back.
And, how much more is your boss making now?

Thank Biden right?!

And, another! Wow, is this national clarity day?
professor That's like thanking the salesman that increases the price of an item by 40% and then offers a 10% discount. Maybe I would thank him if I never knew the price to begin with, but this all happened right in front of me. I do appreciate that it is lower now, but I would rather that it never went significantly higher in the first place.
Just thank Mr. capitalism. Biden or and other POTUS have very little to do with gas prices.
Oil companies charge what they can get away with be it the Arabs,Russkies or the good ole USA.
They all love money and the more of it the better.
propman Capitalism seemed to benefit the consumer more during the last administration.
johnnydoom correct. Demand was low during covid. Wasn't oil selling as low as $10 barrel? Great times indeed.
It was pretty consistently lower throughout the previous administration. Lower than the one that preceded it (although that one was received very high from Bush) and lower than the one that followed. Covid affected it, but not starkly, This is price per liter for some reason, but the quickest I could find.
johnnydoom kind of surprised it wasn't lower during covid especially given the low demand. Guess the oil gods put a line in the sand at approx. $ 2 per gallon.
