Gas Price Charts - 18-Month Average Retail Price

I seem to (vaguely) remember a screed or two from one (or more) of our forum chief economists about high gas prices and our President's incompetence. Interested in their comments.

That is all.

I was surprised that the Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Premium was cheaper than diesel fuel in Callaway yesterday.

Normally I agree, but this seems a different situation. Trump calls out OPEC and says they need to drive down prices or "we will remember" that they didn't, all the while sanctions on SA are being discussed.

Seems the implication was keep prices low or we may consider going along with the EU sanctions.

I have said in the past a President - though Regulations and Taxes foster a Pro Business Environment in which there is expansion or growth.

we had 8 yrs of Recession and 'what regulations or Tax Hikes is Obama going to slap on next' concern from business owners

Trump's Tax Cuts maybe a 'sugar' high as the pundants are saying, but at least he did SOMETHING ...
.... in the end Obama was going speeches 'we cannot expect any better that 2%'

although Progressives are quick to claim Trump's Economic Success was Obama's Policies :shrug:

if that is THE TRUTH was Obama giving the 2% speech and not touting the bright economic corner the country was about to turn

To refresh your limited memory and intelligence.

In July our incompetent and inept President started ranting about Saudi Arabia increasing their production by 2mbd (million barrels per day). SA did not have that capacity...never have. So SA could not lower prices.

There are a number of reasons why prices are lower:

1. World economic growth is slowing...less demand.

2. US production (US not SA) is at an all time high.

3. The dollar is strong (due to Fed actions mostly, not incompetent President).

IF you are actually paying attention to what is going on OPEC and Russia are considering production CUTS, not increases.

I don't expect you or any of the other morons to understand...but there it is.

Comrade, thanks for once again displaying your complete and utter misunderstanding of the type of recession we experienced in 2008/9.

Trump's Tax Cuts maybe a 'sugar' high as the pundants are saying, but at least he did SOMETHING ...

Interesting logic...the EXACT SAME logic you dismiss when it comes to gun control. He did something?? Yup...expanded the debt by $1.5 - 2T.

.... in the end Obama was going speeches 'we cannot expect any better that 2%'

So, Comrade, still too stupid to understand that the boost to growth from the tax cuts is already basically over? GDP will be in the mid 2% range this quarter and back to 2% or less by the end of next year???

No dumbass...that is not what any actual economist claims. Trump inherited a growing economy....god damn you just aren't very bright.

if that is THE TRUTH was Obama giving the 2% speech and not touting the bright economic corner the country was about to turn

Be Specific - Explain how ANY proposed NEW Gun Laws would have PREVENTED Any Mass Shooting in the past 25 yrs

Closing the 'gun show loophole'
Mental Checks or Additional Reporting
