what a bunch of greedy profiteering grabbing bastids.... certainly here in the UK!
 
Is that new? hahaha
If we eventually go to electric bikes, at least we'll be able to make our own electricity.
 
It's €2.09 a liter here. That's €7.90 a gallon... that's $8.24 US a gallon. Cry me a river. (At least it's 95. ;P)
If it wasn't subsidized in the US it would be around there as well.
I'm glad logistics isn't in my business model.

Don't be thick. It isn't the price per gallon, its the change in the price per gallon. Maybe 6 months ago it was maybe half that amount.

My paycheck has yet to increase with inflation.
 
I'm with @Vbreeze. Gas is still cheap here considering. Unfortunate that oil companies are making off like bandits. Can't blame this on anyone but consumers driving the price up and being ok with it. But capitalism be capitalism. Sucks to be a stuck with a gas-guzzling truck or SUV.
 
Its over 3 bucks a litre here, and tbh its not all bad. Less car driving, better for the environment Im just annoyed that the profit is going to our wall street overlords. Also a bit of context, gas is still cheaper than a bottle of water!

Both of you miss the point. If there was a commodity which you use everyday, had to use everyday, and within six months it was twice as much when everything else is getting more and more expensive, its a problem. Not just for the individual consumer but for the economy since this type of thing leads to a recession.

Gas prices have NOTHING to do with the consumer.

This is Econ 101 stuff. Supply and demand.

Its the difference in price as you say, for me its only a grand or two a year, so its a nothing burger

The consumer isn't causing rising gas prices was my point. Supply and demand will cause seasonal changes in prices, but this is very much something else. Rampant inflation on the heels of the government printing more money so lazy trash cans can sit at home and some d-bag whose country produces 10% of the worlds output invaded a neighboring country, who the US had been propping up for years. Supply is down but so is demand. So many people work from home now, and that genie isn't going back in the bottle.

Gas prices drive much more. Everything gets more expensive. If it was just the gas its not a big deal. When you add how it causes most consumer goods to get more expensive along with inflation making everything more expensive as well its a Royale with Cheese, not a nothing burger. My house payment went up $300 a month because taxes went up. There's a track day every month. See what I'm getting at?
 
In Canada its hovering around $2.35 Litre Canadian 91 octane. Seeing about a 35 - 40% increase I'd say approximately

Consumers are willing to pay the price that oil companies set. Granted these oil companies are probably also artificially restricting production to keep supply limited and therefore artificially inflating prices. Conversely supply constraints also mean that companies are missing out on money on the table so they’ll want to slowly increase supply. Kind of like a drug dealer.

As for inflation, that’s the result of a fat orange turd that mismanaged an epidemic and cratered the economy and disrupted the supply chain so badly that we’re teetering on the edge of a recession. Also it’s complicated…

Lol wow. You need to go back to school or get a refund from wherever you went.
You're pointing the finger in the wrong direction and clearly don't have a clue about the reasons for this countries current inflation.
It's literally bidens fault single handedly. Printing money for handouts while making those who needed those funds believe that our ........ leaders are actually helping them in reality end up ...... everyone in the ..., no consideration for even wearin a condom.
All those stimulus checks have had major major impacts negatively on our current economy and continue to do so. Gas prices going up could be slowed down if bidens ....... decided to drill in house and be an exporter like we were when the "fat orange turd" you speak of was in charge. Shutting down pipelines tryin to convince the public to buy a super expensive electric car that they can't afford makes no sense. So much to blame on ..... that it would take me all day to type out. What's most clear is you know nothing about what's going on in the real world and keep sippin that main stream media koolaid, at least not enough to speak on this topic.

Because they have a choice? Hilarious. They aren't willing to, they have to.

In between kid sniffing, ..... had said to combat gas prices people should buy an electric car. Right. Like someone in a 2001 Honda Civic can run out and buy a Tesla.
 
I'm ok paying $10/gal as long as the big orange turd isn't president...
