It’s amazing how no matter how cheap gas gets, people think that’s the “normal” price, and any rise above that is “too high”.
Supply and demand and environmental regs. Those are the big price movers.
Under Bush II oil went from $34 a barrel to $147 a barrel to $7 a barrel. Right now it’s at $60, a very normal price. Prices have been unusually low for a year. Count your blessings.
And people are griping about a dime.
Above should read $27 a barrel, not $7.
Hey Einstein, do some math with me. A dime a week for 52 weeks a year for four years increase is how much?
Would you bitch at $210 a gallon gas? Don’t put it past the gallery of rouges, thieves, idiots and malcontents in the fed gov.
Take a look at apples, automobiles and bread since 1975. They have outstripped inflation by a large margin. Oil not so much.
