Trump to End EV mandate today(1/20/25) *** ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS TALK, ONLY POLICY ***

[JesseS]

Come to NJ a gallon of gas is $3.60, which is ridiculous, prior to covid and the previous president. I was paying $2 per gallon.

no, but for me to have to pay $60 for 16gallons of gas every week is insanity. Compared to 7 years ago when i was paying half. I would rather have kept that price than the $60 i am now. Cant wait for the price to drop again from energy independence.

It won't drop much, then inch back up. The Oil companies don't want it to drop, plain and simple. The oil storage capacity in the US is close to full, and we are pumping at near max now, plus we are exporting oil, if they can pump more (it takes on average 3-5 years to bring a new oil field to production) then they won't drop the price, just export more for more profits. Our refining capacity is maxed out, why they spike the price whenever one is down for maintenance. Build a new one you say? at 10-25 Billion that is a big NO from the oil companies with the looming transition to EV's. So your gas has gone up $1.60 in 7 years, that's about $0.23 a year, in line with inflation and much less than say groceries.

Oil companies know if they keep it below 4 bucks a gallon and always raise it during vacation time and summer society will except it . Beer stores order more during peak season Oil companies charge more for what they have stored. And I bet the solid state battery company will have ties to big oil. People with power don't relinquish it they adapt but at the speed that makes sense for their current assets. We are the ones shouting we want Barabus only now it's we want a Scout not much has changed in society has it??
