What about all your food and other goods that employ the use of petroleum along the chain in their manufacture. Hope you and little deranged Greta have a Merry Christmas this year, for if you get your wish, next year Will be cold, dark and you and yours may just be a tad bit hungry.

I’m betting gas in Baytown is about $2.60.

It should have relatively little effect on prices where they are already around $5 - mostly on the West coast, whereas Houston refineries run output through pipelines north to east, where (except for the far northeast) prices have been +/- $3.

“I look forward to the day when the number of electrical vehicles crushes petroleum industry or at the very least removes its influence in our lives”

I suspect most oil companies feel the same. That way that can fold their product into other things and not need blamed for the cost of their product.

Last week drove to El-Paso. Filled up at home, drove 500 miles in my Ram 1500 big ass truck. Filled it up in 5 minutes and continued on. Try that in an electric vehicle!

I wonder if it was that lo-o-ong train of brand new KCS oil transport cars that went past my place a few days ago, heading South.

Do you have any idea how many people the oil and gas industry employs? Millions of people.

How do you think folks get the electricity to power electric vehicles?

America’s problems originate with Godless, Christless fools who prefer power and control to freedom, liberty and capitalism

$2.97 in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Just filled up the other day. That’s after our Governor put another state tax on fuel. $4.00 will kill our economy down here.

In California, we’ll take $4/gal; we’re at $5.29/gal for premium in Northern CA.

A recent article summed up why a Tesla owner in Finland blew up his car when he found out how much a replacement battery pack he needed was costing him.
