Oil is at an 8 week low, gas it at an 8 month high anyone see the disconnect?

There are some refineries that are down for maintenance....... and since they won't allow anymore to be built, there are just enough to keep the supply adequate, but not excessive. If one or more go down the supply diminishes and the price goes up.

I still call that price manipulation..... control the supply control the price.

Thats why he was " selected" the flag burners!!! The right amount of evil? Plus the right amount of stupid? You are in deep shit!! Ol yeah ! Hope and change!!!

Correct, EPA is public enemy number one! They have got to go!!!

Its probably starting to nudge down , gas hit 4.00 bucks in the poeples republic of MI! Thanx to our taxes!!!

It's winter in northern hemisphere, for sure you need gas to keep you alive.
Increased demand translates to what?

Into farting realy loud!!!!!!!

liberals making us pay for destroying the environment.

Things like car parts and pharmaceuticals are not consumed immediately upon delivery like gas is. You see their costs rise more slowly because it takes a while for the current manufacturing costs to reach consumers.

People,
behind all of this oils an and everything is another race,alien one.
They rule this planet for long time and nobody wants to see it.
The worst thing is that those parasites are so bad to us,so nobody can it imagine.

Read "The Terra Papers"by Robert Morningsky,don't be fucken lazy.

A large supply of oil does NOT equate to a large supply of refined gasoline. Two different things.

Oil companies make far more from ALL the other products that come from oil than just gasoline.

Inflation is an increase in the money supply. How do high gas prices reduce the money supply?

Its a direct correlation to the amount of money the fed is pumping. Last roll over on the S&P is about the same as it is now...as per fed to fuel ratio...

The increased money supply created by the direct printing of money is siphoned off through higher prices at the pump.
Then is exported out of the country to pay for more oil to make more gasoline. Inflation is not just the increase in the money supply. This would be a normal result of an open and free market that has normal price discovery. Do you believe the supply and demand of fuel is out of balance? (is there less fuel out there than can be supplied?) We know that the gas supply is much larger than the consumption-right " so why aren't the gas prices lower under your scenario ?

The price of gas is controlled by how much paper derivatives are bought and sold not by supply and demand.

There are also two different kinds of inflation

1. Inflation created through fractional lending
2. Inflation created from directly printing the money

Number 1 is somewhat beneficial to the economy, is free flowing, non steerable and supports a growing economy.
Number 2 is harmful because it is steerable and directly focused and distributed to wherever the money printers want it. (banks, social programs and price control mechanisms)

The problem is that these two inflation methods cannot be utilized at the same time or to much inflation will be created killing the dollar within weeks.

so number 1 is shut down in favor of number 2 so that they can control and throttle the economy while printing the financial world back to the illusion of solvency.

There is no price discovery so therefore the law of supply and demand pricing has been removed.

From what I understand, if ethanol levels are raised to 15%, car engines will not be able to handle it and will get messed up.

Ethanol is added and subsidized as an additive to fuel so that the fuel is less efficient and we consume more (oil) of it.
(gas burning engines get alot less MPG with the ethanol additive )
Ethanol has 33% less BTU's in it than gasoline and it takes 98,000 BTU's per gallon to make one gallon of 76,000 BTU per gallon ethanol.

You think they are making this ethanol to be green when it has a negative BTU net compared to gas?

That's right. Most of the big oil companies have suddenly sold their oil refineries and interest in Colonial Pipeline in the last few years. Those same companies have rolled their money into ethanol refineries...makes you go hmmm Many of these companies are divesting themselves of their gas station retail franchises. To me it sounds like a precursor to what they know ill occur. Can you say oil and gas suddenly become not so available and the big SOLUTION is ETHANOL. I'd say so

It's because the dollar is becoming worthless.

Also it gets rid of a shit ton of corn that starving or hungry people could eat, whether it be gmo or not is somewhat irrelavent when your belly is rumbling. The Illuminati always kills at least two birds with one stone.

im averaging less than 14 mpg right now, only gonna get worse if they raise it to 15%. it hurts the car too. fucking scumbags, wonder how much the farmers unions n groups spent to lobby for this

Terrorist!

there is hope, ill make a thread dedicated to ethanol

It's because the gas you are buying now was refined from oil purchased at higher prices. And yes when the spread is this way refiners do well. When gas starts dropping when oil goes back up, it's because it was refined from oil purchased at these levels.

No, I'm not defending the corporations by the way.

As the dollar is inflated the price of oil increases as well. High gas prices at the moment aren't a product of inflation in my opinion.

Just read a large portion of it. Was very interesting. Scared me for a bit. Especially since according to him, the two alien races fighting over us are both rather nasty.



Some of it could be based in truth. A lot of it seems like nonsense. A lot of it resonates with me, but that doesn't mean much.


In the end, it doesn't matter. I will live my life the same.

Those guys will not let You to live"the same"..even to die"the same".

i was doing some research into the disconnect. i pay 6 dollars a gallon for gas. i believe the disconnect is somewhere between me and my money, fuck i think i get to spend 1-4% of it on things that make me happy.

Refineries are shutting down left and right because of environmental bullshit from gov

From what I understand the price of gas today is driven by what the price of oil was a few weeks ago when it was made. So hopefully in a few weeks the price of gas will go down because the oil price is low now.
