$5.99.9 (Premium?) in AZ. ???

 

[Lil Foot]

86 octane unleaded, NOT premium.

Vancouver,BC gas is $2.48 / l, still $1.50 here in Ontario
with all the west coast mantra about 'go green, EV they shouldn't give a ratz behind what GAS prices are....

I have my friend coming down from Northern Ont to get pictures of the leaves up inthe mountains. She said gas jumped 40 cents a litter up along 11

Just got back from a trip across the country, and the highest gas prices we paid were in Arizona, by far.

Amazing that the prices are so high in AZ (our neighboring state).

 

[jyoutz]

Where's all that oil going?

Yep, congress permitted exports several years ago and this opened up the US to world market prices. And of course much is now going to places Willy to pay the highest prices.

Last fillup was at Costco on September 30. Price was $3.119. Most other gas was around $4.50 in the area.

 

[ctfjr]

All the major gas stations around here are creeping towards the $3 mark. I just don't understand why diesel is staying around $5

The latest figures from the Bureau for Economic Analysis show that the profits of the U.S. coal and oil industry increased +340% between the first and second quarters of 2022. Companies selling petroleum and coal products made an estimated $49.7 billion in profits from April to June, compared with $11.3 billion from January to March.

It's strange how Greed only happened under one administration, or strange that some people believe that.

the new 'golden rule'..
Those with the gold make the rules,
Those who make the rules, get the gold.

July the eight fossil fuel giants raked in $52 billion in record second-quarter profits, a 235% increase over the previous year.
Earlier this year, the advocacy group Public Citizen accused Big Oil of intentionally inflicting "pain at the pump" in order to boost profits at consumers' literal expense.
It’s a joke really. How companies/governments are using Ukraine as an excuse to inflate prices.

 

[GreensvilleJay]

well gas here is going up 10 c/l ,say 40c per US G , just before the long weekend, hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The OPEC+ alliance of oil-exporting countries decided Wednesday to sharply cut production to support sagging oil prices, a move that could deal the struggling global economy another blow and raise politically sensitive pump prices for U.S. drivers just ahead of key national elections.

I'm sure with some little effort we can find a way to blame Biden for this.

You are correct, with little effort.

Shame his policy of not supporting US energy independence has made us reliant on others once again.

See very little effort at all.
