Comments on: Florida Gas Prices Are The Highest Since June 2018, AAA Says

Prices are not going up because “X” was elected, they are going up because US and global oil demand is rising and because OPEC and other oil producers cut oil production last year. Now, as countries are seeing COVID improvements, demand is rising faster than supply is rising. OPEC has not yet agreed to pump more oil, so oil prices are up and that’s pushing gas prices higher. This is exactly why gas prices last spring went down (lower demand as COVID hit) then rebounded from $1.74 per gallon nationally in May to $2.12 per gallon during the summer. Biden’s policy and decision to cancel Keystone XL is something that may affect prices years from now, but not now since existing pipelines aren’t even filled due to still lower demand vs pre-pandemic, and oil companies, which lost over $50 billion in 2020, aren’t looking to even drill- not on federal land or on private land at this time- if they raise production it would be from existing wells.

This jump in price is no surprise. The ballot stuffing administration is doing everything they can to get it to $4-5 by years end.
