Once the strategic reserves stop being released and the 2 million bpd cut starts happening?

I predict the national average will be > $6.50 by EOY, .... > $8.50/gal on the west coast

Stupid regulations .....

I'm sure price records will fall everywhere. But people will cut back driving to the extent they can, thus lowering demand, and the rest of the economy will feel the ripple effects of less travel. A pretty bad combination.

Nah, we will be ok. Hugo Chavez is riding to the rescue.

Biden is such a frick up he couldn’t melt ice cream on a summer day in New Orleans.

It will easily surpass the highs we saw earlier this year.

California is already seeing high prices.

We had a risk mitigation meeting at work.

Guy from way high up was on the call.

Basically said get ready for 6.50 to 8 a barrel if oil busts wide open and he put a price per barrel at like 260 if I remember right.

We were told to make our plans assuming as much.

$5 in most areas will be the breaking point of consumption /personal expenditures. $9-$10 on West Coast and NYC/upper east coast metro areas will do the same.

It’s going to get uglier in major metro areas with high minority populations very quickly. With the combo of cold weather and no play money I would avoid major metro areas this fall/winter.

Hopefully 5.00. People need to feel pain.

$13.50/gal on west and east coasts.

$9.49/gallon in the southeast.

Pain incoming.

I hope I’m wrong.

So many of the dumbocrats are already riding the bus or being pushed by a friend in a stolen shopping cart. They love high gas prices. With fewer cars on the streets, their travails are safer.

That 5.01 national average will be be blown right past. I fully expect to see $6+ locally on the gulf coast.

Blows my mind that the Biden admin would rather suck opec’s dick than turn loose the American oil fields

The SPR is not effecting gas prices at the pump at all.

$4.90 currently just outside of Chicago.

It'll be $5.50 by Thanksgiving.
