WSJ: Why Gasoline Prices Are Rising Faster Than Usual This Year


Really surprised it’s not followed up with a “here’s why that’s a good thing.”

Output won't be able to keep up with demand in coming years. Look for oil to hit $150 a bbl before end of 2025.


Been hearing this was going to happen anyway for the last two years.
Deepwater drilling in the gulf and other places around the world continues to ramp up and hasn’t hit full potential.

Refineries are usually down in late winter for turnarounds, maybe not the entire refinery but parts of them are.

Russia really has little effect except maybe the Northeast US which used to import gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from Russia. It was cheaper than transport by ship from the Gulf Coast. Also crude oil was cheaper transported from overseas than by rail or ship from within the USA.

Interesting tidbit when I was at Shell in SoCal in the early 90's. Shell staff told us that at the end of summer there was a surplus of premium so it was being sold as regular for the price of regular to get rid of summer stocks.

The less pollution has to do with vapor pressure. They cannot blend some butane in with summer blends due evaporation "pollution"

Here in Washington they are the highest in the country because of Jay Inslee's policies. They literally rose $0.70/gallon the second he signed his garbage into law.

I want a clean bathroom like buccees but out on the outskirts of their pump layout.

So I can fill up the truck with he nectar of the gods or take a crap without going inside the mains store.

I saw some liberal say it was the summer, so gas prices are higher.

Let’s forget we just had the spring equinox and it is most definitely not summer

I guess you missed the part where I said both things can be true at the same time.

"fill up the truck with he nectar of the gods or take a crap without going inside the mains store"

No money in that, doubt any entrepreneur would back such a venture

This place has such a hard on for Buc-ee's and it's completely hilarious


Its mainly Louisiana people who didnt have the stones to move away from mommy and daddy.

They take one ride to Houston and go to the Buccees in Baytown and its their new Disneyland. Just like a shiny new toy that will get old in a couple of years.

Its just a store LOL
