I don't know what can or should be done but if gas prices keep rising, Democrats will exploit this issue to their advantage.
Aren’t these the same people who wanted to raise the gas tax the last time the price dropped?
Odd...I didn’t hear a peep from these clowns when gas was almost $5 on Obama’s watch.
I knew this was coming because gas prices in Indiana are rising fast.
Gas here is $3.15 this morning.
Close to a buck of that is taxes. Eighty percent of that to the Commonwealth. Any anger on this issue needs to be focused squarely in Harrisburg.
The Capitol Hill gas station has nearly always been a dollar higher than other gas stations in the area. DC prices are generally 20 to 50 cents higher than surrounding Virginia and Maryland prices. Or have been during the last 20+ years I’ve lived in the DC area. Chuckie Schumer ought to use Gasbuddy.com to find lower gas prices in the DC area.
Do we have an explanation as to why gas prices have soared? Maybe Rex Tillerson made a phone call.
* Get rid of Boutique gasoline grades one fungible blend for nation wide consumption.
* Ethanol Mandate gone.
* Sell the Corn to the Norks to feed pigs, cattle, and chickens, feed their people, they need the protein.
* Give us your Newukes in return NK.... talk about a win-win.
Ok Chuck, then you will surely vote for more domestic exploration, right?
Have gas prices hit $5 a gallon already?
Gasoline scarcity is a more troubling political consideration than gasoline prices, especially when there has also been a general trend to higher wages. Just another cost of staying employed.
Crude oil, the base stock for gasoline refining, is a highly fungible product, and scarcity of supply from one source is quickly made up by price flexibility, assuring the scarcity does not grow. As prices rise, more supplies come available.
So, let me get this right. The party that will tax everything, and anything is gonna complain gas prices are rising. Simple, get on board will Republicans and reduce the gas tax if ur so bent outta shape! Or offest the gas prices by reducing taxes somewhere else????
hypocrates!
Why are gas prices high?
Could gasohol. drilling restrictions, taxes higher than the actual production costs, etc. have anything to do with it?.
And which party pushed to eliminate fossil fuels?
Iran deal pullout had zero to do with higher oil prices. Global supply is up, but global demand is up even more.
chuck schemer proves once again there is no lower limit on stupidity.
Gas prices will be much lower in October than they are today.
Thought we were an oil exporter. Let’s pick up the pace.
Profit per gallon of gasoline (California)
Feds. 18.5 cent per gallon for doing nothing but collecting the money.
California 60 cents (going to near 80 cents in 2019) per gallon for doing nothing but collecting the money
Oil companies best I can tell profit about 25 cents per gallon for manufacturing and distributing. Said profits are then taxed. So just who are the fat Cats when it comes to making money on the sale of gas?
Down on the MS Gulf Coast regular is $2.55 - looks like liberal bastions 9and their women and children) are hurt most....
Actually, Venezuela’s troubles and its relationship to the global oil supply is having a bigger impact on oil prices than are Trump’s actions vis-a-vis Iran. And anyway, it is not as if oil prices have been stable lately because they have been going up for months, beginning long before Trumps actions regarding Iran.
But leave it to Chucky to deny recent global oil price history and use Trump’s Iran policies as an excuse to wake up and admit oil prices have been going up.
In fact, the last low ($30.12) was in January 2016.
