I just finished speaking with a friend and neighbor of mine who is a tug boat captain who runs oil along the west coast. He works three weeks on and three weeks off and has been at sea for a many years. He is very highly experienced and his tug is cutting edge. (Don't want to give too much info about him). This week, he was due to unload his oil in Long Beach but mid morning Tuesday, he was told to turn around and anchor in a big bay because there was no storage available to unload. He said tankers are stacked up with the same problem, the storage tanks are FULL of oil. I asked him how the supply levels were compared to 4-5 years ago and he said the same, full. He also said that they are pumping the hell out of oil in Alaska and there is a ton coming in from overseas. My friend also stated emphatically that he is no communist but the profits being generated by these fuel prices is outrageous and in his opinion, the high prices are a scam. He is shipping the same amount of oil he has shipped for years! His evidence is that there is no oil shortage. - - - Not buying it. |

Remember, the people in government are not smart or creative. (They are inbreeds, keeping the jobs within the family). This is the same plan they used in the 1970's fake "Oil Embargo." Read about Lindsey Williams "The Energy Non-Crisis. " The Energy Non-Crisis [link to www.lindseywilliams.net (secure)] Note: I worked intermittently on the Alaskan Slope between 1988 - 1992 as a medical officer. (during "Glasnost" when everybody was still "fearing the Russians.) We were hosting them and ordered to share our oil production secrets up in Prudhoe. When I left the Arctic, I road out with the Halliburton team that were on their way to help the Russians cleanup their oil production mess! (That's why Russia dominates Europe today. It was planned! Nixon - Dick Chaney - Brandon.) I'm beginning to believe that they threw Trump into the mix just to "stick it in our face! "DO NOT ADJUST YOUR TV. WE ARE COMPLETELY IN CONTROL! |

The reasoning is pretty simple. From J__ S____: Elon Musk cut 10 percent of Tesla's work force He is afraid the economy is going to tank. That's a no brainer. Because with so much money going into gasoline now it has to crash and it is intentional. What will crash the economy no matter what? High gas prices, that's what. And they know it. Let's say you were spending $200 a month on gas when it was $2.50 a gallon. You did not drive a whole lot except to work, which was 30 miles away and had a half hour of city driving. That's common in the US. So you were burning 3.5 gallons a day in your minivan if you were lucky. Even if you parked it on week ends, that would have cost about $200 per month. Lots of people have cars that eat more, some have cars that eat less, but $200 a month on gas at $2.50 per gallon was probably quite normal for most people . . . . Then, suddenly, the gas goes up to $7 a gallon or more. Suddenly the gas costs $560 a month. That's $360.00 - a big screen, a lawn mower, a dining room table, or a desk or a nice cell phone or YOU NAME IT removed from the economic machine every single month, for everyone working. Extend that to two months, and once every two months a decent refrigerator is gone. Let's say you had a gas guzzler and you drove it a lot. Let's say your gas bill when gas was cheaper was $350 a month, which was not unusual. Suddenly your gas bill is $980 a month. What's that going to do? The math is not hard folks, Elon is right. If gas prices are not brought down, it is all going to crash. |

Refined product(Gas, Diesel) is being shipped to Europe to replace what used to come from Russia. This is all due to the worthless sanctions on Russia. And they refuse to lift the sanctions because collapsing the western Financial systems is the real goal. |

Big difference between oil and gasoline/diesel, OP. What you wrote could very well be true but it’s still no scam. The problem is with the oil refineries. There hasn’t been a new one created since the 70s and the Biden admin is intentionally leaving them to decay. Some are shutdown and some aren’t getting supplies. Like I told my ex-wife, I said: honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it’s all in the reflexes… |

Of course, it is price gouging! Reg. unleaded is 4.99 at one store - then, 10 miles away it is 4.17. It is going up consistently .12 per day in my area. They arent emptying their tanks daily and paying more from the supplier at that rate. They arent supposed to raise prices until they are distributing a fresh supply that was purchased at the higher rate. Every gas station in town is not exhausting their tanks on a daily basis to be able to compensate for the daily increase consumers are paying. It is outrageous and certainly treason. What will happen when all the taxpayers cant get to work bc cant afford the gas and cant afford the ridiculously high rent so they become homeless. What will happen to the infrastructure? How will the US function when the income plus taxes generated by the simple folk ceases to fund these fools?? Oh, but Ukraine needs a few more billion.....fire up the presses! M C |

Oil was basically free during Covid. I told everyone I knew to buy up oil etf and stocks. I put my entire retirement in, about 750k. For awhile people said I was wrong as tech surged. But slow and steady I’m now up 325% and tech is dropping like crazy. It was the simplest investment I ever made. Either oil goes to $0 and we all die of Covid. Or it would rebound. Regardless which way it went there was no risk. |

If true, at what point would this deliberate subterfuge constitute treason? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79780865 Asking for a friend. even at 4.00 a gal that is 220 a barrel. Oil spot averages about 120 a barrel these days. What kinda of maf computes dis. your ignorance is appalling! you apparently did not bother to look into the facts but just made some up. A standard U.S. barrel contains 42 gallons of crude oil which yields about 44 gallons of petroleum products. The additional 2 gallons of petroleum products come from refiner gains which result in an additional 6% of product. As shown in the figure below, a little more than 19 gallons of gasoline and 10 gallons of diesel fuel are produced from a barrel of crude oil by U.S. refiners. Other products such as jet fuel and heating oil make up the remaining one third. [link to www.energy.gov (secure)] It seems to me that the maga crowd should support the russian oil import bans as they are always talking about communism is really bad. (I agree) if you limit the supply the cost will rise. should we let russia take over any where they want? are you not willing to pay for your principles? |
