Without any other countries we would just pump more of our own, we don't need oil from any of them, we just buy theirs so ours is just sitting here for when we don't want to play their games or bomb them into oblivion, we can drill through glass and melted steel / concrete et al with no issues.

Your numbers appear to be off.

It's also worth noting, that absolutely nobody needs canadas ruling government, to move and sell this oil.

As for the numbers, I just used Google.

He started the war. There has to be some profit in it for him and his billionaire friends, probably invested in oil companies.
And, it is very different than a holiday hike, the price never went up by over a dollar a gallon in a week during any holiday time.
And, this is just the beginning, going to get freaking outrageously expensive very quickly.

Every single time....
Still, this is no surprise, as only a moron wouldn't expect The Donald to get his hands dirty on more foreign wars. He's said it multiple times in the past that there were strategic (ie, J reasons) he would agitate.
Still, the main reason he needed to be put in the presidency, despite his extreme faults, was to stop the massive importation of literal trash into this country. I will give him credit, that it has been somewhat of a delivered promise, despite the extreme pushback.
However, the worthless R party is going to lose 'big league' come the midterms.
Supposedly 20% wanted conflict in the middle east. It doesn't take a neuroscientist to figure out what those people are.
Get ready for more imported trash, regulations, and any and every policy to further disenfranchise White Americans. Look at what that witch in VA is doing and scale it everywhere. Hold on tight.
With Js, you lose.

Yep, exactly. Stephen Andrew Feinberg, look this gem up.

Well, if your not of Native American heritage then you sir might be literal trash also. You need to take a good look in the mirror.

The national average was $5.78 after Vlad's three day special military operation..... which is still on going...
I think the most I paid was like $6.50 cause New York doesn't believe in pipeline so all our petroleum products are brought in by boat, rail or truck into New England. IIRC crude got to $130 a barrel, which is better than the $147 it got to in July/August 2008. As of my post it is right around $100 or so.

Gas here has only gone from ~$2.70 to ~$2.95 a gallon, what’s the big deal? With crooked sleepy Joe it was $5.18 a gallon.
Drill baby drill, boom baby boom and soon gas will be $2.00 a gallon like during DJT first term and the leading sponsors of terrorism will be gone. Hopefully this makes those of you with TDS feel a little better.

What do you think is gonna happen when time runs out and this now falls into Congress? The regime change won't be complete, not by a long shot, and meanwhile, the strait is blockaded. What do you think this ripple effect will do to world oil supply and prices? We already meddled in Venezuela, so there's that little wrinkle as well.
High oil prices are here to stay for a while. This isn't "TDS", it's common sense without the blind loyalty to insanity.

There is hope, self-immolation and death by COP seem to be popular and effective cures for the disease.

This thread is temporarily closed for a time out, as the topic continues to drift from "fuel prices" to personally directed remarks that border upon insults.
Fuel prices are an intrinsic component of truck ownership, and we very much want folks to be able to discuss them here, without much, if any, interference.
But we do depend on each member to exhibit maturity and exercise judgement in public discourse on hot topics, like fuel prices, that are intrinsically related to broader geopolitical events.
There is a difference between talking about the problem, versus talking about each other. We lose the opportunity to learn other people's points of view (about the problem) when threads get closed due to devolving into personal insults, which FTE does not wish to support the bandwidth for.
Thanks for your understanding.
