Diesel hasnt dropped much, still at $1.00 for a liter of diesel. Gas is up to 70 or 80 cents a liter now. We can only hope the prices keep going higher and higher to get the industry feasting again because the famine sucks.

Even though I drive a volt and gas prices don't mean much to me anymore, a lot of people will enjoy saving major bucks.

Instead of calling out the actual culprits?

The cause of high gas prices is a lot simpler - and a lot closer to home.
"Oil companies’ profits soared to $174bn this year as US gas prices rose . . . Exxon, Chevron, Shell and BP among group of 24 who resisted calls to increase production but doled out shareholder dividends"

It’s $5.00/gal here. We always seem to be much higher than average in the Bay Area. 100 miles away, where it’s a further from the refinery, the price is always lower. We’re just getting ripped off.
Paying around 3.35/gal here in SLC, UT.
No big deal, i have a Mazda 2 with a couple efficiency upgrades. I get 50mpg on an average day.
I have lived free of 'gas anxiety' for a little over a decade because i chose small cars with manual transmissions, and hypermile them for even better fuel economy. Because i'm an efficiency nut.
This interest in efficiency all started when i paid for $5/gal gas in 2008 in California and never ended.
Gas doesn't have to be cheap for me to want to conserve it. Not getting fleeced at the pump is just a bonus.

In US dollars per gallon that's around $9,40....

No wonder EVs are selling better in the EU than in the US.

If you want a discussion on gas prices, electricity prices, water shortages, etc etc....then you cannot avoid political references without ignoring. “The Elephant in the room”.

I'm aware, but we need to keep politically divisive memes and rhetoric off this forum while discussing said politics. That will make those political discussions a lot more fruitful, when you take the partisan war edge off.
See this as a reference of what good politics and bad politics look like:

No wonder people are driving around in big trucks everywhere over there, when fuel are almost for free
Double the fuelprices and things might start changing.
Yes the gasoline/diesel price hike middle of last decade had that effect of reducing excessive auto traffic. Then the fuel prices went down and people bought larger and larger SUVs and drove more and more wastefully once again.
Hopefully rising fuel prices will have that effect once more.

You do realise ( perhaps not ?) that if you force up the price of fuel, it would have knock on effects on the price of most every consumer product !john61ct said:
