67RModel Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Looks like price will continue to climb as US bans crude imports from Russia this morning. Although a minimal amount of total imports (around 10% of US's imports come from Russia) the reduction in supply will drive up cost more. As more Western European countries do the same and ban Russian oil imports there will a sizable void that needs to be filled globally. This is good for the domestic shale producers as they need a high price per barrel (>$90/bbl I think) to be competitive. So hopefully we see more domestic production ramp up and domestic energy jobs added.....Honestly I'm not too sad about the current cost hikes due to Russian oil being cancelled globally. It's really a small price to pay in order to help the Ukrainians as well as punish the Russian economy for this madness.

Joey Mack Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Yep, I just heard 'right now' on the news that these high prices are also a result of petro companies trying to recuperate recent losses,,, so does that mean their operating cost's didnt go up much, but ours do ??? jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69332-sticker-shock-at-the-pumps/page/2/#findComment-491325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 this morning headline of the nu yawk post is oil price increases are because of putins war, not because if dopy joes shutting down us oil. sad thing is, most of the sheep will believe that fast flowing male cow manure 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

In July 2008 the average cost of a gallon of 87 octane in the United States was $4.11. Adjusted for inflation that is $5.37/gallon in today's money. I'm sure we were all complaining how outrageous $4.11/gal was at the time, but the current prices aren't nearly as bad as they were in 2008....Although we could easily surpass $5.37/gal given the current geopolitical horseshit going on oh don’t forget the two phony shortages we had in 70s 50 years later we got plenty it’s always something.. to screw the public out of thier hard earned dollars good thing about 2008 I bought my f150 right in the middle of all that 2 years old I got it for almost nothing 23Gs .
