I don't make this stuff up. Gas prices have been climbing higher ever since Trump got into the White House. Now his tarrif proposals and his talk about killing the Iran deal are making the oil industry nervous. Oil Price are climbing due to these tarrif talks and talk of doing away the the Iran deal. Mean while we who have to buy gas every week are paying out the wazo for gas again.

I could see it coming, I retired and sold 2 autos, keep my truck to tow my boat, my truck gets 15 mpg, so to keep from spending so much at the gas pumps, I bought a new Toyota Prius Hybird, it just sips gasoline, took a small road trip a couple weeks ago, just to check the Prius out, topped the tank off before starting the trip, and set the trip meter mileage, keep a record of the gallons of gas bought, trip miles 1278 and gas bought 26 gallons, the cars milage meter said average 53 mpg, but when I topped the tank off when I got back home, the total gallons bought was 26 and I divided 26 into the trip miles 1278 and I was getting 49 mpg and that was running 75 and 80 on the interstate. So 3 bucks a gallon will only hurt my feelings, when I go fishing, ps I do miss Obama when I top the F-150 tank off.

When the light turned Green the Prius was gone in a flash. Those little electric hybrids have some get up and go. I wish that they made a electric hybrid Truck that I could afford.
supply and demand.
don't need much gas when everyone is unemployed waiting on government check.
Lol if you made it thru the obama tenure I think you’ll be fine. A simple google check is at your finger tips. Of course that would be Bushes fault 😴 And wow the Korean War is about to come to an end thanks to.....wait for it... a true recipient for the Nobel lol hurts don’t it...

your statement don’t make sense, you say supply and demand, and you say don’t need much gas with everyone unemployed and waiting on a government check, if that is true, wouldn’t that make gas prices cheaper....
We are EXPORTING refined crude, we are also going to be doing the same thing, with LNG as soon as they can get a safe deep water port terminal in operation. Guess the american petro chemical industry didn't get the word about america first.

Well....duh.
which is it, we now have the lowest unemployment in years. OR
everyone is unemployed waiting on government check.
the top statement is a quote of your post, and the bottom statement is a copy and past of your statement, from the same post, that’s why I said it didn’t make sense, looks to me like your saying two different things, that we have more people working than we’ve had in years, and in the same post, your saying everyone is unemployed, I may just be slow and not getting it.
I just talked to a lady who was heading to her second job. she also is interviewing for a better permanent job.My first wife quit her jobs when the first was born, her job was mother first, educator, and domestic expert.Sure I had a good job, steel mill pay was pretty good[that was the first mill to under and rob the pension plan]. In the 80s and early 90s there were many single workers in the american family. But the pols fixed that, now some familys have or need two pay checks plus part time work, why? I'm going to quote and old quote about figures and numbers, figures seldom lie, but many peoplw who do figures, don't know truth from fiction. there were supposed to be 10 simple laws for humanity, yet harvard law school possibly have a million books showing how the original laws were flawed.
