That 80 mpg Honda my wife just bought may be looking better if it's just for transporting a person somewhere. Should I learn to ride? No so good for hauling firewood or dogs around tho.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Of course the oil companies have no incentive to produce more. This administration is seeing to that...This administration can scream bloody murder about the big bad oil companies making record profits all the while acting like they care that the little man is taking it in the shorts.
All this administration would have to do is stop restricting the oil companies and instead give them some incentives to up production, instead they have said that they want to make everyone go green and kill the fossil fuel industry. That's exactly what they are doing. They raised all sorts of taxes on fuel and oil production too. That makes investors very reluctant to be exposed to higher taxes when they could invest with more return in other investments.

They shut off at a 100 here $150 here. Had to put my card in 3 times the last time I filled up. Just under $450. Cheese and Crackers - what the hell are you driving?
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Red diesel is $5 here.
For years the Texans and wealthy investors here on the ‘fire have cheered high oil prices and told everyone to invest in Exxon or STFU.
How’s them apples?

According to things I have read, oil companies and refineries are making record profits. They have no incentive to produce more and they have the cooperation of the federal government. Boycotting Russian oil and canceling drilling leases, is another factor driving the cost of fuel and everything made of fossil fuels. Hard to believe this is not intentional. We have less refining capacity today than we did 3-4 years ago. Reckon that could be a reason we can't keep up with demand? That, and the fact that we imported 1M bbls/day of refined distillates from Russia before we shut that down?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Shell oil has a mothballed refinery located on the Mississippi River in Louisiana that was determined to be not a viable part of their portfolio.
They’re now going to reopen it and put it back in service. I believe that the capacity is over 200,000 bbls of oil/day processing.

A lot of this is due to the lack of rail shipping. Thats what going on with the pilot stations.

My smart daughter bought a hybrid Toyota SUV last year. She keeps it plugged in on her employer's dime all day. She says that she puts "some" gas in it about every 1 1/2-2 months.

Teal, your post was solid. I appreciated the education! Thanks, Just perspective of doing this all day over the last decade plus. I tend to have focus on freight markets, how they work etc. There's more to this of course but that's the cliff notes.

I paid 6.49 this weekend in upstate NY. This fall will get interesting when heating oil demand here in the northeast adds to the mix. I’m thinking we could see $10 diesel. Interesting time for midterm elections…..
