Im trying to figure out why gas prices arent advancing. I guess my question is; what is different now than when it was advancing?

I cant answer your question but it actually went down 10 cents here two days ago

Went down here a bit


But it's been all Bs excuses every time it goes up

Went down here. 3.99

Saw $3.71 today.

Who really knows, but the world economic activity has been slowing due to several economic and political factors and it does not take much of a reduction in usage to drop the prices a bit. Northern hemisphere spring tillage and planting is past, our Memorial Day Holiday is past. Will be interesting to see how fast and when the countries start to replace their strategic reserves. That could keep prices at levels well above typical usage levels for several months.

Its actually going down little by little here too.

I'm just starting to be able to find employees again... seeing an increase in advertising, locally the economy is just starting to hurt, it's definitely slowing down.

$5.16 here

Crude oil has a cost to extract. When the price goes up it makes sense to go after more costly crude. So a well that isn't worth the lease may become economically viable.

I paid $3.41 this morning here

5.79 unleaded 6.49 diesel here

I saw it for $3.99 near Williamsport, PA on Sunday. That's the first I've seen under four bucks in a while.

4.49 $ here in more or less mid Ohio. One company owns 95 percent of all the gas stations in a 30 mile area. They have a solid lock on the market.

I'm in Iowa. We were as high as $4.49. Gas was $3.99 yesterday.

An interesting side note. When Brain Dead Biden was in office, bird flu was an issue. Chicken flocks were being wiped out right and left. 100,000 birds here, 500,000 birds there. Egg prices went through the roof. Now Trump is in office. A few months ago, a huge layer farm in Iowa caught on fire. 6 million chickens perished. Image 6 million birds gone all at once. Egg prices haven't fluctuated at all. What changed ?
