I guess they actually believe all the gas stations of the world have conspired to raise their prices concurrently out of sheer greed. The stupid actually hurts.

I assume the price is a reflection of the price of a barrel of oil. However, what someone mentioned to me that I find funny is that as soon as there is whisper of oil prices going up they're out there with the ladder changing the gas prices. But when the oil prices go down they say it will take a while for that price to work it's way to the pump. So somehow when the price of oil goes up there is no delay for that price to work it's way to the pump.

In 2008 oil hit 180 a barrel and pump prices were much lower than they are now with oil at about 120 a barrel. Why is that?

Labor cost increases, supply chain delay, less supply due to less investment in fuel infrastructure. Biden basically said “I will end fossil fuels” during this campaign, I highly doubt any of them are investing any improvements to their infrastructure at this point.

The dollar was worth more (a LOT more) in 2008 than it is today. I suspect that is a large part of its current pricing.

My message to Old Joe is this: Stop collecting taxes on gasoline now! DO IT TODAY! Ya' f*#King moron.

Up in Canada here, when Saudi and Russia flooded the market with oil a few years ago and dropped the price per barrel from $100-$110 to $30(?)-$50 per barrel. The companies up here were like "the economy is gonna crash with oil being so cheap, so we're gonna 'stabilize' the market by raising gas prices by ~CAN$0.20/L." Of course, they increased their profits tremendously, and now that oil is back to where it was before the flood, they refuse to remove their "stabilization increase."

So there's that to add to the price in Canada. Where we average over $8/Gal.

but at gas stations with nearby competition (of a different company and preferably independent) it'll cause them to lose money as people choose to skip their price gauging and take their business elsewhere.

That happens around here. Larger chains will bump their prices up a bit, but others stay where they are, then the larger ones come back down. The prices are all still shooting up, but they're forced to at least do it in a "three steps forward, two steps back" fashion.

I read it too. Just watched the movie version (available at the library on DVD) If you excuse the flaws in the production, it pretty much sums up where we are today. With cameos from Ron Paul, Hannity, Glenn Beck, and some black liberal (in part 3). It is eerie in its accuracy of today's USA. (Atlas Shrugged for the uninitiated)

– Survey_girl 2 points 2 years ago +2 / -0

^ this.... cheapest gas gets more folks in the door.

Thats why rural stations with no/little competition are usually 20-30 cents more. Stations in higher populated areas, where there are stations (competition) everywhere are basically selling it at cost. They make their money on chips and cokes and candy bars.

And the price reflects what they will have to pay to refill their tanks

ExxonMobil made $285bn in revenue in 2021. After the cost of buying crude, manufacturing, drilling, employee salaries, etc etc. They have $23bn in profit after taxes - 8.2%. That's it. So if they bring down prices by 8%, they no longer make any profit and can't afford new investments in capital, etc.

8% isn't what we want Joe. We want energy independence (again).

According to IBISWorld, gas stations make an average margin of just 1.4% on their fuel.
That’s far lower than the 7.7% average across all industries — and ranks beneath other notoriously low margin businesses like grocery stores (2.5%) and car dealerships (3.2%).

I was looking that up earlier, it looked to be about $0.18 per gallon with State taxes averaging $0.30ish per gallon.

So even if he does give us a Federal tax break on gas, the difference is negligible.

– DeathRayDesigner 5 points 2 years ago +5 / -0

There is no way it makes a difference. We don't care about the components of the price at the pump; we only care about the price. And the price is set to match demand with supply. If the tax were to drop, there would be a run on gasoline and a shortage. So, the price would have to go up anyway to the present level, in order to balance demand against supply.

The only thing that would make a difference is to increase the supply. Stopping exports to Europe would be a good start. Then the pump prices could go down and we would be tending to our own. Europe? Tough titties... They were stupid enough to go along with Biden. The first person to wave off the fog of stupidity gets to turn around and not walk over the cliff.
