At a price of $3.00 per gallon, the oil company that explored, found,
drilled, pumped, transported, refined, built distribution centers (gas
stations), transported to distribution centers and finally pumped into
our tanks makes 10 to 20 cents per gallon on gasoline.

The US Government makes 18 cents per gallon and individual states make
on average another 19 cents per gallon.

In the 1970s, the US government 'solved' the gasoline price problem.
We could only buy gas on odd or even days (based on license plate
numbers) when we could find a station that actually had gas to sell.

I wouldn't look to government as the solution to this non-problem.

Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

It's not the sole reason for the price drop but you're naive if you think
the election has nothing to do with it. "Of course is doesn't...just ask the
industry spokespeople."

If within 45 days after the election, average fuel prices don't increase by
10%, I'll eat my crow.

Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

Yep, you're right, OTR's, locomotives and commercial vehicles use FAR more
diesel than private vehicles in this country, and it's the commercial use
that increases the demand so much.

Last summer, diesel was 2.25 around here when gas was 3.50. We have
something called "winter" in the North (something a San Diegan has only
heard rumors about) that spikes demand for fuel oil in the fall when
everyone is filling their furnace tanks. #2 fuel oil is the same as #2
diesel, just without road taxes and kerosene.

Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

In the west we typically use natural gas or propane for winter heat. The
propane usually is cheaper than gasoline, but as many have pointed out it
all comes from the same well. In San Diego however, they usually turn on
the heat when it gets down to 65º. ;^)

The part that applies to the current dip in fuel prices:

"It's the flight of the speculators from the current market that has
produced the huge price drop, just as it was a flood of cash from
speculators that drove oil prices higher than the fundamentals justified
to begin with."

Re: Fuel prices - What's coming out of YOUR wallet?
 

Sure, worldwide oil prices dropped just because the US is having an
election... GWB pulled that lever in the Oval Office and at his command
all the oil suppling countries... OPEC, Iran, Venezuela, Mexico, Russia,
ect, all dropped their oil prices to help the Republican Party in the
fall election.

Sorry, but I find that more than just a bit difficult to believe.
