I’m no expert, but I was predicting at least $8 here before next year, without a war.

“I’m no expert, but I was predicting at least $8 here before next year, without a war.”

At some point demand falls and the equilibrium shifts.

I would think demand will fall sometime before $8.00 per. I know it will for me.

I’ll still try to go to the doctor. But there will be few recreational trips; one visit to the grocery store and not five.

Yeah, I said $6 a gallon. Wouldn’t be surprised if they mandated $2 a liter.

I’d be surprised if this happens with midterms this November. Biden’s an idiot, but his instinct for self-preservation is well honed. Food prices are going up another 10-15% due to input costs. He can’t do anything about that. Oil production he can have a direct impact on, just by sitting on the economically illiterate wing of his party and using administrative measures.

Seven dollars per gallon??? LOL!

Try more like 10 to 15 dollars per gallon.

That’s what happens when your country runs into a hyperstagflationary scenario like Argentina.

All the supply chain problems were created by the Plannedemic / COVID hysteria and subsequence policies, both in China and by the Demagogic Party and its RINO allies -- but they will be blamed on the freedom convoys.

I think you may be closer to whatever the number turns out to be.
