Comments on: North Escambia Gas Prices Top $4 A Gallon http://www.northescambia.com/2022/03/north-escambia-gas-prices-jump-over-4 Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 14:44:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2022/03/north-escambia-gas-prices-jump-over-4/comment-page-2#comment-483469 David Huie Green Fri, 11 Mar 2022 16:16:53 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=471195#comment-483469 Unless the intent was to imply that world events do not affect local gas prices. They do. Even though we buy little from Russia, others do and will raise what they offer to replace what they don't get. That affects us. The danger of expanded war also makes people nervous and willing to offer more, also raising prices for us. And, regarding: "THIS WAS COMING LONG BEFORE THAT UKRAINE CRAP STARTED" Crap? The murder of thousands and displacement of millions is crap?? But, yes, prices had been rising while Russia under Putin prepared to invade. David for better people Unless the intent was to imply that world events do not affect local gas prices.

They do.

Even though we buy little from Russia, others do and will raise what they offer to replace what they don’t get. That affects us.

The danger of expanded war also makes people nervous and willing to offer more, also raising prices for us.

And, regarding:
“THIS WAS COMING LONG BEFORE THAT UKRAINE CRAP STARTED”

Crap? The murder of thousands and displacement of millions is crap??

But, yes, prices had been rising while Russia under Putin prepared to invade.

DR MARIO is more fun to play. Not that griping isn't fun. Since I officially just paid more than my previous high from 2008 or $4.20 yesterday afternoon, I am now griping. gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe,.....

This is blatant scalping by gas companies that see this as a great opportunity to fleece their customers for all they are worth and market it as “supply and demand”." THOSE profits would be pre-invasion. As was pointed out, we buy little from Russia. People are not sure what the future holds and if hydrocarbons will be available so they panic -- or wisely hedge against shortages. We shall see what it turns out to be. Meanwhile, we have made up our minds and don't care for confusing facts. The fact is that the man former president Trump so admires attacked Trump's enemy (because they didn't play his game), Ukraine. He has killed many people and gotten many of his own people killed. He has threatened nuclear war if he can't win without it. The fallout would come down partly on his own people, partly even on us. But let's blame somebody closer. REGARDING:

Now, the left wants us to pay 5 bucks a gallon plus and be happy. How many people can pedal a bicycle 20 plus miles to work? They blamed Bush and hammered him over the 2008 cost increases while the current administration gets a free pass from these people. Interesting how things are different when the shoe is on the other foot.

Democrats are expert mess makers, and they’ve whipped up a big mess now. We get what we deserve by voting them in power. Just how many more years of this can we really stand and still survive? Vote Republican, and hope for the best. Open your eyes and see…It’s apparently our only choice. Pretty soon Republicans will not be able to fix the mess Democrats are currently making.

And if what Trump had in place was all that great, why did everything go to crap after Joey reversed all what Trump had got done? Answer because it worked.

America needs to change all Economic books in the country from saying Supply and Demand causes gas prices to rise, to claiming the President is the main cause. In Feb. 2021, OPEC was only producing 200,000 barrels of oil a day. This worked for awhile. But as demand picked up, OPEC was cuught off guard. Also at tis same time Texas had to shutdown 12 inoperable refineries due to the Texas Freeze. Propaganda Buster.
