GREED.

[LakeArenal]

1. Its always this over $4 in most countries of the world.

The UK is at $8.05, France is $8.23, and Italy is clocking $9.08 a gallon. Venture north and the prices go even higher.
...
If you think $4.30 per gallon in the United States is bad, try paying $11 in Hong Kong.

US truckers as well as public have been so spoiled for ever.

The whole pandemic has shown at at least half of the US
are spoiled elitests that can not accept anything for the good of anyone else.

5. But none of those countries have 1000s of their own wells

Yes, other countries that cannot produce their own oil pay more. But that doesn't change the fact that the oil and gas corporate welfare cheats are gouging American customers.

[LakeArenal]

10. As colbert said he's willingly to pay more if it helps this crisis.

[Mariana]

12. That's mighty courageous of him, isn't it?

Well, no, not really. Colbert is wealthy, so his life doesn't have to change one little tiny bit to accommodate the increase.

[LakeArenal]

15. Every generation had a gas crisis. Mostly through oil company manipulation.

Long time ago they had to pay millions in over oil charges.

These days they get awsy with it.

16. Yes, but the oil Co, greed seems to never end...worldwide, it's staggering. And wrong.

2. According to CNBC, the US Energy Sector is up 213% in the First Quarter.

It shows as the only Market Sector that is up.

3. Crypto mining chews energy

Energy is the #1 sector to hedge against inflation that the #1 sector is creating. Both crypto and energy stocks are engines of their own inflation!

[CaptainTruth]

4. Gas at our local BJs dropped to $3.89.

I'm glad to see it under $4.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

8. It has gone down to $3.84 here in Sioux Falls, SD...

... got up to $3.89 for 87 octane regular; as I mentioned, it has started going down a bit. Diesel is back down to $4.54. When I had reported it last week on my GasBuddy app, when the price was $4.69, the GasBuddy app gave me a pop up: "That price seem out of whack, are you sure it is correct?"

6. Dipped below $4 here in NE Ohio.

I'm sitting on a quarter tank, hopeful for a cooling on prices.

[The Jungle 1]

7. Energy is not free enterprise or capitalism!

The whole thing is fixed.
Energy pricing should be nationalized.

[FakeNoose]

9. I prefer to use the old-fashioned term, 'cuz I'm an old-fashioned girl

It's price gouging.

[Ron Green]

11. Gas at the pump is cheap and it's always been cheap.

That’s how we built an unsustainable world of pavement, white flight and alienation, and externalized the costs onto our only home, the earth.

If you’re still posting about how sad it is for you to pay “high prices” for your comfort and convenience, I believe you need to think harder about this.

[BlackSkimmer]

13. Very good point. nt

[Emile]

14. Predatory Capitalism, price shoots up like a rocket and falls like a feather.

Time to nationalize big oil!
