I guess they figured everybody needed something to do with their massive "tax cuts".
Yo don't eat an elephant in one bite - you eat him a bite at a time. Everything is going up due to Trump's tariffs. Before it's over, the GOP will have skinned everybody in the country.
And what do the gas prices have to do with tariffs? Nothing. Gas prices go up and they go down. The problem is whenever they go down, they don't go all the way down to where they previously were so prices are always rising in the long run.
To hell with Texas. They certainly don’t care about the misfortunes of non Texans.
I’m more than willing to pay more to help all Americans, but not just for the benefit of oil production States. Screw them.
No man is an island.
My husband sells partly to oil production. When he sells more, we earn more. He travels more to other states, including Colorado and California and Nevada. That means he is putting money into those economies via restaurants and hotels etc. He earns more and that means I can spend on everything from necessities to extras. Everything I buy helps someone somewhere.
If oil production is down, we aren't buying as much, and neither are the families involved in oil production. (Although we personally are diversified, not everyone is). This seems pretty basic.
It says a lot about you that you are willing for families to go without based on the state they live in. We are, last I checked, still one country.
Even I didn’t pay it any attention, until my Shell card bill came in the mail. Holy cow!! My monthly bill was 20% higher than last month and we drove about the same mileage as usual.
WTH? I thought all of this new “drill everywhere you can including in my driveway” type of hands off business friendly deregulation was gonna lower gas prices or at least keep it the same!
Didn’t think I’d see $3 buck gas this year. And don’t tell me about supply and demand because demand is no crazier now than it was last year. Save it.
So someone tell me what’s going on?
I've noticed. And I've stopped using my Shell gas card because their gas is more expensive than at the other gas stations. I use Speedway gas a lot now.
Ever since the big hurricane events of last year, gas prices spiked and never really went down to the pre-hurricane Harvey and Irma levels.
I think its funny how so many people still believe there is not much markup on gas at the gas stations. Its alot more than a few cents a gallon, that the station owners want people to believe!
Btw, Im a FMC (Field marketing coordinator) for a large gas station/ convenience store chain in the east and midwest.
this, get a more efficient car then. I drive a small coupe and couldn't care less if gas was 3 a gallon or 10 a gallon, will be just fine honestly. 35mpg and im happy. I was paying upwards 7-15 a gallon in parts of Alaska for years, coming down to 2-3 dollar gallons in lower 48 was a godsend. (Unalaska was like 12 a gallon)
Don't I know it. That' why I'm counting the days until I can get out of here.
