Gas is about 2 bucks a gallon now. If it was that price during huuseins era it would be front page news every day.
I remember it being about 4 bucks during much of his time as resident.
Don’t worry. AOC will put a stop to this.
Geostrategic sea change. The 70’s oil embargo brought the U.S. to its knees and contributed not only to transportation crises but to inflation as well. The 90’s threat to interfere with oil transportation in the Straits of Hormuz caused a major political panic. “No Blood For Oil” was a rallying cry on the Left, where anything that gave the U.S. a hard time was and still is welcomed. Now? Now they’re cutting production to prop up prices and looking over their shoulders. Offense to defense. Huge change.
New York State would have a lot more money but the cannot drill for oil in the state or build any pipelines...fools all
Indeed, but the current US advantage could evaporate with one election and a few executive orders. Fear the Green.

Maybe Pennsylvania can do some horizontal drilling and use the oil New York doesn’t want!
We shouldn’t be selling ANY of it abroad, at least not until I’m paying less than 50 cents a gallon.
Ah, the old "slant well drilling" trick.
Haven't heard that one in a long time. - Tom
Yep! However, I won't be happy until it falls to $0.19 per gallon... That was the price when I got my drivers license (12 years old) and first car... Although there were Jenny stations the would beat that price by 2-to-3 cents... Also, it was good exercise, when getting gas, having to crank the handle to pump the gas...
Make that $0.19 gallon for leaded gas ... no ‘winter-summer’ blends. Just straight leaded at various octane levels. Death to electric vehicles!
I heard about it via The Farnsworth Stratagem.
The ever educational Rockford Files.
Pressure will likely only increase as for 2019 U.S. crude oil production is expected to average 12.06 million bpd, up 1.18 million bpd from last year, Future predictions say the United States could produce as much as 15 million bpd of crude and up to 20 million bpd of total oil liquids, giving it complete self-sufficiency as it would fully cover its consumption of 18-19 million bpd.
We need to get it while we can, as the EU is trying (via diktat) to eliminate the use of liquid hydrocarbon fuels for transportation. Thanks Hojczyk.
Yep! If you were using a “low-grade” gas. You just installed a water injector,,,
IT’s not 2 bucks in Virginia.
Agree.
“.... during much of his time as resident.”
Well put.
Question is, was he a legal resident?
You want to go back to tetra ethyl lead?
I am still surprised that lawyers have not found enough diseases to charge the oil companies with. Many of us have worked in refineries where TEL was blended into natural gasoline. We deserve compensation.

Three-fifty a gallon suits me just fine.
They don’t call ‘em royalties for nuthin.
