Gas Prices

[Babagounj]

menotyou, the story is about Sunoco and their shutting down of refineries along the east coast , which for decades has only been processing foreign oil which are of a lighter grade and the lack of a connecting pipeline to Texas.
They have been attempting to find buyers for their refineries.
And now are thinking of turning their lots into huge storage tanks holding areas for European processed gasoline, from where all future supplies will be coming.
It also involves the Jones Act of 1920, US ships with US crews, which raises the transportation costs of shipping gasoline along the US coast . Basically the cost of a barge of Texas fuel is equal to sending a fully load tanker ship from Europe .

That's sad. I am friends with the great-grandson of the guy who started Sunoco. Too bad the family isn't involved more..

"For the year, gasoline is projected to average $3.87 a gallon, implying an average annual household expenditure of $3,410, up $250 from 2011, the Energy Department said."

And, this being an Obama administration dept., it'll probably go up double what they say!!

Everything else you hear has been nothing more than a distraction from the truth and if you ask yourself WHY you havent heard about this spill or the lasting damage to the coastline of Brazil, or the indictments of 17 top chevron executives or the total amount of fines and lawsuits now reaching 58 billion dollars, then you will know that you have been decieved.

I guarantee that none of you knew about this huge spill or the fines or indictments. Some guarantee. Do you assume that no one reads the newspapers?

Its all figured in the price of a barrel of oil. That translates into higher prices at the pump to you and I. (Correct phrasing should be "you and me".)

That's an increase of around 7% and inline with real inflation if you calculate inflation the way we use too. Now it's true you can blame Obama (Congress not blameless either) to some extent but I'd blame the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve which in truth Obama and Congress really have little control over. Ron Paul, Alan Grayson, et al proved that even the Congress has no real power to audit the Federal Reserve (or don't have the stones) so there you go. The only function the Congress and President serve to the Fed is to codify the risk burden of monetary actions onto the backs of present and future tax payers.

Why does a faction of voters decry at all corners the acts or attempts at privatization of gov't functions and yet in the case of the Federal Reserve they never utter a peep and even scream murder when any attempts are made to force transparency on this privatized monopoly organization? And they scream about monopoly but where are they when it comes to the monopolistic, cartelized energy industry who literally owns the regulatory arm of the gov't thanks to regulatory capture?

Instead of doing any real thinking, I guess it's easy to resort to the mindless training of school daze where you pick up the pom-poms, wave your school's colors and sing the fight song while the other side does the exact same thing all the while being to damn stupid to realize we're all getting screwed!

$4.49/6 in oil rich Edmonton, and you complain ?
Other Canadian cities and provinces pay well over $5 a gallon.

 

[menotyou]

You are Canada. You are use to it. We are the mighty US of A. We should have a tarmac and a big-ass gas pump on Iraq that says free gas for the US and we(iraq) owe you 1 trillion for the war.

For all of you DRILL BABY DRILL FANS.... here's a little fact checker on the concept. Interesting reading.

FACT CHECK: More U.S. drilling didn't drop gas prices | iWatch News by The Center for Public Integrity

After reading the story, I hope you will see that drilling for oil means nothing in the larger scope of prices at the pump.
