What are you guys paying for gas?

This might go on awhile, and limit savings from the release of strategic oil reserves.

I think we all know that Trump plays mulligans while golfing. He could use one over his decision to open this can of worms.

He just put out a post that says that when oil prices are high, the US makes a lot of money. It would be more accurate to say US oil companies make a lot of money. This mess has rewarded me personally quite a bit. A long career working for a major oil company gave me the time to purchase a good amount of company stock.

While Iran can never directly win a war with the US, all they really need to do is to keep monkey wrenching the oil supplies coming out of the middle east. That will keep oil prices front and center and center politically.

In Laurel, one station has diesel at $3.999/gallon and the one across the street has been at $4.099/gallon for the last few days. I've been curious which one is going to move to match the price of their closest competitor.

$4.69 diesel seems to be the stabilized price in Boise. $3.39 before the price rise.

Bout the same here.

Another piece of info suggesting this might last for awhile. I wonder if it was too early to release stategic oil reserves? Time will tell.
