Obamagas to drop below $2 a gallon nationwide

[hjmick]

Does no one have a clue? Do you all not know why prices have gone up? They will be dropping again in the not too distant future, and it will nit be because of Obama, the Democrats, or the Republicans...

A little research and a little reality, people, go a long way and will serve you well...

Retail gasoline increased 0.3 cent to $2.458 a gallon Thursday, the highest level since Dec. 17, according to Heathrow, Florida-based AAA. After climbing 20 percent since Jan. 31, prices will rise by another 20 cents this month because of refinery maintenance and unexpected outages, the nation’s largest motoring group estimates.

Refineries are operating at the lowest rate in six weeks, government data show. Fuel production may slow further as more plants shut for seasonal maintenance. Gasoline is also climbing as the panic in oil markets subsides, with volatility the lowest in three months. The gain threatens to reduce the windfall to U.S. drivers from last year’s plunge.

“The refinery problems led to increases in futures and wholesale prices,” Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC, an energy consulting firm in Houston, said by phone Thursday. “Gasoline doesn’t go up and down with crude oil. The problems are more on the gasoline front.”

Gas Pump Prices Rising 5 Times Faster Than Crude Oil in U.S.

Your lies are bullshit. Those refineries didn't have outages until after Feb 18 & March 2nd. Gasoline prices have been soaring since Republicans took office on January 4th. Since then over 100 oil super tankers have been filed with oil & floating out in the ocean to cut supply to refineries & extract higher profits at consumers expense.

Whatever you say, dipshit. You just prove that there is no reasoning with an individual who is predisposed to a particular ideology...

rw'ers going to boycott Obamagas?

Obamagas: on it's way down to $1.50 and the GOP can do nothing to stop it, damnit!!!

The day Republican majority took their seats in the House & Senate (1/4//2015), gasoline prices started rrising. I posted on here back then that Republicans would cause that to happen, and they did.

Why lie? This thread actually recorded the changes in gas prices and it wasn't until February (page #79) when the price began to rise.

Gas here soared 20% between Monday and Friday of this week and another 10% first thing Saturday morning.

If we're "thanking President Obama" for the earlier fall in prices let us now thank Him for his screwing the pooch on this one....and screwing us all at the same time. A man of two dicks?

Wholesale RBOB Gasoline prices reversed their decline and started rising early January. Only dishonest assholes post delayed pump prices. Wholesale RBOB Gas prices actually fell after refinery outages.

National gas prices to soon fall below 2

Nationally, regular unleaded gasoline currently averages about $2.12 a gallon, down 46 cents from just four weeks ago and $1.01 cheaper than year-ago levels.
Gas prices are also expected to fall more than previously forecast for the full year

Not bad for a community organizer











.

True, only someone as truly inept as Obama cam set out to raise gas prices and have them plummet

What was Obama's policy that caused gas prices to fall?

Obamagas is just one other thing the Republicans will try to overturn. Anything good for Americans is just not good for them.

Um...who has tried to raise gas prices other than Democrats? Take your head out of the kool-aid bowl

Democrats have no power to raise gas prices. Nor do Republicans. Nor do socialists, fascists, communists, anarchists, liberals, conservatives, Whigs, Tories, Greens, Reds, Blues, Purples, Know-Nothings or the entirely apolitical. It's determined in the international trading bazaar.

This thread completely sails over your head huh?

Here again, the major clue:

“Since the president has been president, the cost of gasoline has doubled. Not exactly what he might have hoped for. … He’s said it’s not my fault. By the way, we’ve gone from ‘Yes, we can’ to ‘It’s not my fault.’ Well, this is in fact his fault.” – Mitt Romney (March 2012)

Higher gas prices The Republican plan to blame high gas prices on President Obama.

I'm only paying $1.66 a gallon. I am still using Obamagas, looks like everyone else don't know where they moved it to.

It may work, Democrat blamed Bush and it seemed to work.

Really stupid but Democrats took the bait.

well this isnt true. Plenty of Republicans would like to raise taxes on gas. Utah is one example.

Regardless Obama has very little to do with as prices.

For one, it was raising fuel efficiency standards in automobiles. That helped lower consumption, which in turn, helped lower demand.

The price of gas is set by market forces. Supply is up because of fracking, which I have a problem with, but since it increases domestic supply ( read not supply coming from arab nations) I am thrilled with it.

I understand that 0bama has struggled to prevent canadian gas through the Keystone pipeline, and fracking, he has, in effect, struggled to keep gasoline prices high. Fracking has beat 0bama. Lower gas prices have come despite, not because of, 0bama.

"Domestic supply" is pretty much a meaningless term. Oil companies are multinational; they sell where the market is, not where the border is. That's why the argument that Keystone somehow has some bearing on domestic prices runs on fumes -- all the pipeline does is facilitate raw material for Big Oil to process to ship to Asia.
