Gas prices

Ok, but I think instead of posting a bunch of reactionary and inflammatory vitriol you could instead think critically and give some analysis right? Every non die hard conservative that read your post your post rolled their eyes.
"Gas is high cause a' Ho Biden did it"
First name calling is immature. It relays the message to everyone else that your argument is weak so it needs something else off topic to spice it up. Since you couldn't come up with anything you resorted to middle school tactics.
Second gas prices at the pump are a short term price. A bunch of refineries were offline for 2 weeks. We are coming out of a low gas utilization pandemic. Those are definitely pushing the price higher.
You can see at my link posted below the national average for February 2020 was $2.442 and the national average now is $2.501. Yes it was certainly lower at the heart of the pandemic, but it was $2.19 in December and $2.334 in January.
So month over month increase is $.17 and the year over year increase is $.08. I think maybe 1/2 of that is the ice storms impact. So we can attribute at most maybe $.04 to $.10 to Biden if we really want to blame him. Is that worth calling names, making incendiary comments, and alienating people on this forum over?
Just to demonstrate even people that try to sound reasonable and say oh yes I'm for renewable energy will then spend the next 3 paragraphs telling you why each and every option is a bad choice for America.
Like so many other things in life, not making a choice is making a choice just to be clear.

Lol @blaming the Texas storm on the cost of gas. It was going up almost weekly 2 months before that storm hit. Idiots. Its went up literally a full dollar where I live over the last 2 or 3 months. Cant blame that on the Texas storm.
OT a bit, but I have started to ride my bike to work now every once in a while (did so on Thursday), it is a habit I picked up during Covid, when there is so little traffic, good exercise, and on the way home, lets me decompress a bit. It is easy for me since probably 50% or more of the trip is through the Arboretum and campus, where you would have to really be trying to get hit by a car. Oh , and the fuel cost is really reasonable. 
It is funny. My Dad, bless his heart is notorious for finding the cheapest gas and then will tell me about it. He'll find the station 10 miles away to save a quarter a gallon.
Gas price is obviously impactful when it goes from $2.50 to $4.50 a gallon, other than that I generally don't notice.
I don't care what you think of the way I post otherwise your words would work. Many including me don't care about the opinion from the left or your eyerolls simply because the left has been so corrupt and damning on this country you have brought this on yourselves. You insult in a condescending way and then feign taking the high road. I gave you my reasons for the hike in another post and Ho Biden is mainly the reason at this point.
Says the worst name calling poster on this site. You of all people cannot say a thing.
Biden’s got nothing to do with it. I‘ve worked in refining for over 30 years. Nothing he’s done so far has any immediate impact On prices. It will in the future. Did you know over 3 million bpd of refining capacity went down, and most still down, due to the USGC freeze and polar vortex. Supply and demand, like everything else.
Saw $3.99 at the gas station down the street from where I live.
Thanks, Obama!
Thanks, Obama!
What if global warming is real? How is that earth-shattering? People have time to move from the waters' edge if sea levels rise. Canada & Russia will have plenty more arable land. CO2 can be captured if necessary. Net, I don't get why anything needs to be done in a rush, if at all.
Please explain if you disagree.
Hey, you hush now! This thread was only created so people could creep out of the political thread and blame the new administration for something. You're ruining their fun.
FWD to 1:00. I think Greg Warren’s dad is cut from the same cloth
I think it depends on the station but some places like Shell put fuel additives in the premium grades.
Be careful or you’ll get another stock go-to response of the single word “false” which will then be followed by ten likes by other posters commenting how WC just stuck it to the libtards . . . rinse, wash, repeat.
Cause people sheltering in place has no impact of supply and demand ,when average was below $2 APR-JUN.
2020 US average was JAN 2.64/gal FEB 2.54 , 2021 was JAN 2.42 and 2.59 for FEB.
We'll see how summer looks , it's been near $3/gal in 2018/2019 before Covid.
Not true.In Lex a month ago it was right at 2.00 a gallon.Today, 2.59.Good try though.
You can easily google national average for anytime of the year in 10 seconds and see that that is absolutely true. The national average might be different from the Lexington average as the national average is for the whole country. That’s what national means FYI, it doesn’t mean Lexington.
Global warming isn't a hoax. It's a thing.... that happens over thousands of years. It's a natural process and there's nowhere near enough evidence to prove humanity has had an appreciable change.
Those wind turbines you libs love? Do not break down and decompose. We've reduced co2 by using more natural gas. Not by building more windmills.
False is standard because generally your post are. You have given the same response for the last four years. Orange man bad, Trump screwed up economy (COVID) Trumps starting WWIII (never happened), Russia helped Trump (never happened), Trump and Quid Pro Quo (Biden on record for actually doing it so, Never happened for Trump) Trump racist (not true denounced racism many times) Trump going to increase troops and start more wars in middle east (never happened, Biden actually doing that now) Trump will raise gas prices beyond Obama's prices (never happened, Biden working on that now) and the list goes on. You lie at every turn so, False to your post is almost always the correct response. Nothing more need be posted. Truth is truth.
It's both honestly. Biden nixing the pipeline effects the flow of supply is an example.
He can't debate with actual proof. There is no proof that america has threatened the entire global environment and therefore should cut all fossil fuel production. China and India don't have to yet even though they have over 3 times the population...
As I've said more than once already, please see point 1 and 2 in earlier post. Now how about those Cats!
My grandfather worked in the oil industry his entire life. The "additives" amount to about a cup per rail car...
Nope. If you're not willing to back your argument it proves you don't have one.
No, it proves your mind is made up and I choose not to argue with you so have a good evening

No, I don’t have statistics on all 50 states.Bottom line is gas is trending up everywhere and Biden’s policies are not gonna help.
Shutting down pipelines,ending drilling in certain areas(Alaska for one),ending leases for shale drilling in certain areas of the US will only make it go up.
$2.69 for regular unleaded in front of our subdivision. Fern Creek area in Louisville.
You must have me mistaken with someone else. I stated the national average gas price per gallon for certain periods of time. You responded with not true and then stated Lexington gas prices. However, my post was true. Hopefully that clears up your apparent confusion.
This is a typical liberal response though. I have no facts to prove america is causing global warming and destroying the climate so I'll take my ball and go home. Carbon can be captured. Natural gas is far less polluting than coal and far more abundant(I believe America still has the largest reserves of natural gas in the world). What do we do with the leftover batteries? What do we do with the broken or used windmill blades? How are we going to produce enough energy to power every vehicle today in circulation?
All of you apologists I hope you pay the most for gas in the pocket and it hurts you the worst. Along with everything else you stupidly support that will cost you more of your money.
