Biden asked the Oil Companies to "Drill Baby Drill" and they responded really well.
And the Oil Companies are still bringing in Record Profits. So who is not happy?
Biden is happy, The Oil Companies are happy. But the people are not happy because they still feel like they are paying to much at the pump.
Well, everybody settle down. Summer gasoline is naturally higher because most US gasoline manufacturers do not offer Alcohol as an additive during the summer because of the evaporate rate increases during our hottest months of the year. So naturally gasoline without the additive of alcohol is going to be higher. Alcohol gasoline will not be available for another 5-6 weeks in most areas of the country. But, the price of gasoline will go down when the alcohol infused gas becomes available again in about 5 to 6 weeks.
And when Summer is over, gasoline will go down just because the demand for it will go down, as school starts and Football season begins.
Gasoline prices will fall back to the $2.70 average cost per gallon in most areas at the beginning of Fall!
But until then, the price of gasoline will probably float around the $3.30 mark for the rest of the Summer.
We are lucky here in Texas, because they manufacture Gasoline here in Texas, and we aren't that far away from the Refineries and we don't have to pay as much for it, like other states do as Gasoline stations pay more for gasoline in areas that are farther away from the refineries in delivery costs. And of course state taxes vary from state to state as well.
SO BE HAPPY- It could be much worse. Gasoline is available and I believe at a great price.
Diesel fuel is another subject. It remains high, too high, and is keeping everything that has to be delivered by diesel Truck higher on cost. It is one of our major inflationary factors.
Joe Biden has asked the Gasoline Refineries to make more Diesel Oil available, but, that will only increase gasoline prices according to the Refineries. But, even if we have to pay more for gasoline, I still think it will be worth it to bring overall inflation down.
SO, I will leave that up to you! Would you be willing to pay a little more for your gasoline- If it were to bring inflation down back to normal levels?
Yes, No or Maybe?
