With the attack on the Saudi Arabian refinery, gas futures are about .17/gal higher. Won't take long for that to reach the pump.

Paid $2.05 outside Meridian this morning.

It was 2.08 this morning. 2.23 this afternoon.

A few weeks ago I registered for the 5 cent discount on Shell gasoline. I burn 2 1/2 tanks a week so that will help a little.

Oh this just garbage. The media couldn't talk us into a recession so somebody blew up an oil field in Saudi Arabia. This stinks all the way around. Oil independence today, oil independence tomorrow, oil independence forever!

Saudi Arabia is 5% of the global supply. Of course, it would be best if that strike didn't happen but that's a pretty small percentage.

The Saudis and certain areas of the US are going to have a real problem on their hands in the next 20ish years as vehicles continue to get better fuel mileage and electric cars boom in popularity.

I dont ever see electric cars booming.

Saw regular for $2.11 in Auburn yesterday.

If you think thats high just wait until the war

Even thought it's only 5%, we've seen in the past that ANY disruption in supply and the market reacts.

Saudi’s provide 10 percent. It’s significant.

Saw a Tesla broke down on I 20 Thursday. Ill never own an electric car or truck.

I quit worrying about it. Its not like I have a choice. Gotta have gas to get to work.

They still basically control the price of oil worldwide.

They're the EF Hutton of oil...when they talk, people listen.

Maybe it'll hit $4 bucks then I'll purchase a new truck 😀

Which is ridiculous, because we produce more oil than them.

It's ridiculous if you're thinking of it in terms of US oil production vs Saudi oil production. You need to be thinking in terms of US oil production vs OPEC oil production.

Saudi Arabia controls OPEC, and OPEC controls nearly 75% of the world's total oil reserves, as well as about 40% of the world's total output.

Keep in mind too, that Saudi Arabia can open the spigot whenever they desire. What they're producing is what they WANT to produce...not what they CAN produce. Their oil is quite a bit easier and cheaper to recover than ours is.

^^^this

When was the last time that John Kerry was in Iran?

Maybe everybody that wishes this will wake up tomorrow morning with a 1/2" pecker. Women included.

Of course, it will happen with anything mechanical. I don't plan on purchasing an electric car anytime soon I don't think but they're selling aggressively.
Ford is putting serious dollars into electric.

I’d gladly pay $4 gas again if soybeans would go to $14 and corn to $6 again.

Y’all actually look at the price of gas. You need it anyway so whether it’s$ 2.00 a gallon or $5.00 your still gonna have to buy it.

True but you will buy alot less of it and other things. That will kill the economy and threaten a Trump reelection in 2020.

It was $2.41 in DeFuniak Springs today.

Jumped .30 at my station that i go to from am to pm today

Jumped .20 here

It was $2.08 in Huntsville at Sam’s Club, but the Chevron down the street is $2.39 (but they’re always higher).

Remember that 6cents is our lovely gas tax to better improve our roads and bridges.

We already know people will pay 4$ a gallon for it so it’s no big deal.

Yes but 4 is the breaking point. Roadways were desolate in those days. If you didn't have to go, you didnt.

Suits me

that’s not true, at $4.00/gal, it’s costs the average driver $150 more per month. That’s hardly enough to make the roads desolate. It’s sucks, but like someone said, it’s more mental than financial. There will always be spikes and valleys, but supply and demand always wins.

And the Patel’s control it all these days. They liable to shut all the gas stations down at once. Try to cripple us

Do you not rremeber $4 gas?

I dont think folks from India have a beef with us.

Only when it comes to putting damn paper in for receipts at the pump

They’re not all from India

They here to be in business for 7 years or however long it is tax free and then roll the business into another family members name for another 7 tax free and so on.

you got that and keeping the damn bathroom in working order.

2.09 at the circle k and bp here

Yep. Try asking one of them if they have any family or friends that have or currently are serving in our armed forces.

Oh, they're working just fine. They put the signs up because they don't want you using it. Fewer numero uno and deuce droppers = less cleaning.

Thats when you go and take that schit!

I do remember it very well. I just don't remember traffic being any easier to get to and from places. Some people may have cut out going to 4 different grocery stores for specials or taking 2 cars to the high school football game, but I don't know of a single person that stayed home from work or took a bus or rode a bicycle because of it.

Yall remember the interview on the news? Customer was saying she would walk before she paid $4 a gallon for gas (as she was paying $1.50 for a 16 ounce water if I remember it right). Reporter guy asked her how far away home was. She said 15 miles. First he asked her about the water and how much she would have just paid per gallon for water. Then he asked her how many MPG her car got. She said 28 maybe. He told her she just paid $12 for a gallon of water. She could have bought 3 gallons of gas and drove home and drank all the water she wanted. Loved the look on her face.

I think it’s great that the US produces so much oil now that a disaster in Saudi Arabia doesn’t really move the needle like it used to. We are living the Dream, right now.

All the extra is what I was talking about. No one would quit work at 4 a gallon but alot of the extra was.cut out.

.20 more per gallon in Gadsden as of yesterday!

Where I am in Fl, it hasn't move at all in the last week or so. Might tomorrow but hasn't yet. Ours cost more than yall's always anyway. Its @ $2.31 at the station up the road.

Spoke too soon. Up to $2.44 now.

yup - overnight - a $0.20 hike in Tuscaloosa

They are doing their part to help defeat Trump.

Can we imagine what a president from the Democrat Party with 38% approval rating would be doing right now?

Gas prices are already headed back down.

That’s the truth.
