Are gas prices going up again? Yes and here’s why

(NEXSTAR) — If you’re like me, you may have driven by your neighborhood gas station, peeked at the price sign and thought, “What the heck is going on?” Gas prices have jumped as high as 40 cents over the last week at some fuel stations as the national average has started to creep back up.

*****

We've hung pretty steady at $3.82 for a while now, then the other day I saw it at $3.79 a gallon. Before I could say 'Thank you, Joe Biden" it was back up to $3.82.

    4.05 to 4.19 overnight, and that's the no-brand station in town. 4.59 down at the Exxon in town.
    For 87 "octane" "regular" watered down with ethanol. In other words, 84 octane gas.

    Really, Kenny? Were you REALLY thinking, "Thank you, Joe Biden?"

    Or, did your thoughts take a more, er, well, "procreative" turn?

    Mine typically are paraphrased, in polite company, as "May Jhiao Bribem enjoy an active, and satisfying, romantic life. By himself."

    Uninteresting click bait article. No where in there does it give the why, just that it's going to happen due to "volatility" and "instability". Those to apply to every commodity in every market.

    Your crude prices could more than double by 2024 at which point you'll be paying as much for gas as most of the western world. You've had it too good for too long 😆

      But in most of the western world, their high prices are due to taxes. Here it's due to ridiculous government policies halting our own domestic production.

    It's the price of diesel that's wrecking the economy. Last week nationwide the average cost difference between gas and diesel was $1.20 a gallon. Forty cents a gallon was the rule for a long time. And it's going higher.
    The coming recession is going to be epic.

    Just in time to fuck up some family vacations.
    These fuckers are evil, and we need to remove them, as the dems say, "by any means necessary."

    The price of everything is tied directly to the cost of energy. which in a round about way is what is driving the increase of food, etc. to say nothing about the increased cost of shipping your Walmart chinesium goods from chinklandistan to merka. At 1,000's of gallons of heavy (almost crude) oil per day that shipping uses, and air travel being the greatest consumers. A relatively small airport will run through million's of gallons per day. Red off-road diesel is now going at the rate of $5.00 a gallon to fuel tractors for planting, spraying, fertilizing, and harvesting of food goods. Do the math, it ain't rocket science. It will only sink in when dipshit inna white house has to start paying for his daily ice cream cone with 5 (or more) $100 dollar bills. But even then I doubt hell have a clue. It ain't comrade slo jo, it's the people behind the scenes pulling his strings.

    Cheapest gas around here in SoCal is $5.13 cash for Reg unleaded. Extra .35 on the total if you use a debit card.
