Topped off last night...let it get down a little more than I would like, typically don't like getting below 1/2 but I was under 1/4...paid $4.60 for my premium (no ethanol)...$74. Ouch. Felt like grabbing a Marxist and shaking them by the ankles to recoup some of that JoeFraud taxation without representation...but figured all I'll get is lint and whimpering...

Still...some appeal on the latter...

Well, Lie-a-watha and the rest of the Demonscat filth are coming up with more of the old discredited methods to further destroy supply and ensure there is $200/b oil and $10+/g gas!

I blame Biden his greenie pals.
I don't think the Russian oil embargo helps. I lose track of all the sanctions and the exemptions.

The old Saudi oil embargo was externally inflicted. The Russian oil embargo is not Russia inflicted. It is self inflicted by the west.

Loads of info here...everything I am seeing indicates as the costs go up, margins on everybody get squeezed...at some point demand drops off (guessing that's the 99% not the 1%)...

The petulance and blind obedience to fairy tale energy dogma says it all...

And since the illegitimate occupation government is openly hostile and condescending to domestic producers...

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/russia-overtakes-saudi-arabia-chinas-top-oil-supplier

...only the Saudi's can fill the Russian oil gap in Europe...thus keeping prices high, and keeping America hostage to foreign producers!

So as American production falls...

Supply issues, your up!

$150/bbl Brent? WTI won't want to lag...

And the fricken Euro's want to make it worse for themselves...

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/eu-considering-capping-gas-prices

...which is sure to have producers cap output...so, they'll be going to rationing next...fracking brilliant!

Hope they keep that stupid across the pond!

But ESG buttpuppet Biden won't break his EnviroNazi chains...but being ridiculed by his own on gas tax holiday means he'll probably skip that...

I see nothing but upward pressure on prices...

This is only going to get uglier...

It is amazing to see so called 'leaders' destroy their economies.
Some refuse to pay for the gas then blame Russia. The so called gas for rubles is actually gas for Euros paid into a Russian bank where it cannot be seized.

Kiev shut down a pipeline to spite the Donbass and that pipeline supplied 1/3 of gas to Germany and Germany did nothing.
Now Canada refuses to return a gas turbine or turbines (compressors?) to Russia sent there for repair by Siemens. Russia says that is the reason for reduced gas flow through NS1. Noe there is pre planned 10 day shut down for repairs of NS1.

Export of US nat gas and oil is currently allowed. How long until that ends?

CNN: "What do you say to those families that say, 'listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?’"

BIDEN ADVISOR BRIAN DEESE: "This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm."

And he wouldn't understand it if you explained it to him...

ETA - And trying to explain this to him is several orders of magnitude more difficult to pull off -

Catsimatidis reacted to Biden’s remarks by defending gas station owners, arguing that they’ve been “making the same margin that we’ve been making forever” as they have to cover payroll and pay rent, electricity bills, and other operating expenses.

While the margin gas station owners make fluctuates several cents one way or the other, Catsimatidis said it’s “ridiculous to put it on us. We’re not the ones that created the problem.”

The price of gasoline has nearly doubled since Biden took office, with the president variously blaming oil industry greed, a lack of refining capacity, global supply shortfalls set against a sharp post-pandemic rebound in demand, and the war in Ukraine.

Some experts and industry insiders have argued that the Biden administration’s anti-fossil fuel policies have discouraged companies from investing in refining capacity.

“It’s not the war in Ukraine. It’s really domestically caused constraint on the supply side,” said Ross McKitrick, a professor of economics at the University of Guelph in Ontario and expert on energy and environmental policy, in a recent interview with The Epoch Times.

“Nobody’s willing to invest in expanding refinery capacity because the outlook from everything that the government has said is you won’t get the approvals,” he added.

McKitrick’s view was echoed by Chevron CEO Mike Wirth, who said in a recent interview that he does not believe another oil refinery will be built again in the United States, arguing that government policies are the key factor.

“We’ve seen refineries closed. We’ve seen units come down. We’ve seen refineries being repurposed to become bio refineries. And we live in a world where the policy, the stated policy of the U.S. government is to reduce demand for the products that refiners produce,” Wirth said.

...

For his part, Catsimatidis said in the interview on Fox that there’s only one fix for the current inflationary spike—a big part of which is due to soaring energy costs.

“We have 100 years’ worth of oil,” he said. “Open up the spigots.”

“If we open up the spigots and flooded the market with oil, with crude oil, American crude oil, we bring the price of oil back” and “inflation goes away,” Catsimatidis said.

I recall that gas station owners make very little off the gas. The pumps exist to draw people into an over priced convenience store.

Yeah...but your Marxist filth likes to highjack language as a means of bludgeoning enemies and spinning MarxistMedia talking points to disseminate and amplify their lies...

Oil companies margins on a gallon produced have always been low, like 3-4%...but they start with the most volume...so hence they get to be labelled "greedy" and raking in something called "windfall profits"...which all things being equal in production (costs) margins are proportional to that...duh...

And the retailers being closer to the end user...get to be labelled "gougers"...but they are limited in what they can do legislatively to prevent going too out of line with competing retailers...and are perversely much more hampered on the down side...so the bigger retailers don't crush smaller chains and independents with discounts...and correct me if I am wrong...but I thought going up they can price to LIFO on deliveries...which is why prices at the pump rise faster than they fall...

Pretty much every ill visited upon energy in this (and most) nation(s) is driven entirely by government taxation and regulation...
