lol where? I haven’t seen that price since before 9/11
Lucky you
Narrator: No one drove during the beginning of the pandemic.
At the height of the Covid oil surplus I paid .97 a gal in Oklahoma City
It’s almost like a total collapse in demand coincided with a drop in prices weird
Would you rather have near complete lockdowns, empty grocery stores, 11% unemployment, and a pandemic killing more than a million people, or today’s gas prices? Because that photo was taken during the worst economic slide since the Great Depression.
That was when a barrel of oil dipped briefly below zero dollars. Crazy stuff.
Los Angeles Gas prices in 1998
Does the average American understand or appreciate that even with the current massive spike in prices, they’re still paying substantially less than the majority of the rest of the planet?
Petrol is crazy cheap in the states. Even at current rates. Ridiculously cheap.
Maybe we need more lock downs to lower oil demand and gas prices.
&%$#@&”%÷!!!!!
I haven’t seen prices like those since high school on the 90s.
COVID. No one leaving the house, staying home quarantine. They were desperate for customers. Now they price gouge out of their mind.
God I miss those days. I never got to stay home during the pandemic. Work in food production so we had to stay at work. Gas was so cheap, no traffic, mask we’re annoying but not a problem.
Reagan deregulated the oil and gas industry as part of the ‘trickle down theory’ of Reaganomics. Anyone feel the trickle?
The price of oil was in negative territory. I was half expecting people to start paying me to put gas in my car. Back then I had a prius and it cost me about $8 to fill the tank. I just filled my tank today for $75 –but it’s not a prius anymore.
Deep sighs just happened.
Corporate greed has nothing to do with this.. /s
Don’t worry. They’re making up for all that lost profit now.
I miss early covid. No traffic. Nobody talking to you anywhere you go. Everyone hanging out at home. Cheap gas. Cheap flights. Cheap hotels (the open ones).
I don’t miss April 2020 though
Can someone tell us how to read that sign?
What’s a 9/10?
Is it $1.59 per gallon?
I’m from Australia, we usually measure in wallaby pouches or dollars per litre
A gas station by me has been under construction for about a year, and just took the fence down to reopen the other day. The Uber driver dropping me off damn near slammed the breaks and said “IS GAS $3/GALLON THERE?!?”
I had to explain they aren’t open yet. gas is well over $6/gallon here though, so I get it.
E-bikes for all!
That’s roughly what I’m paying now. But where I live (Canada), that’s the price for a liter of gasoline. For those who don’t comprehend the metric system, 1 liter is a shade more than a quart.
I live in Alberta, sorta the Canadian equivalent of Texas (in more ways than I care to admit). It’s a 5 minute walk from my front door to the refineries in town. So we’ve got the cheapest gas in the country.
Yes, isn’t it weird that although the government has very little control of the price of gas, it goes up under Democrats every time. Almost as if the oil companies know they can use Democrats as an excuse to raise prices to help get more oil friendly Republicans elected while making billions in profits. Funny how simple their plan is but still incredible effective.
A suggestion to reinstate the windfall profit tax was already shot down by Senate Republicans saying they would filibuster it until it died. As well as a bill to repeal the $90 billion in tax breaks the oil and gas industry receive currently, saying it would put an ‘undue strain on the industry and would have to be passed on to the consumer’. In addition, a suggestion to fine oil companies for not using all their approved drilling leases was squashed by Senate Republicans as being unduly harsh on an industry in an already struggling economy.
aren’t they artificially increasing the cost because they can and there is no regulation there giving people fear and bullshit reasons for the increase?
I like how nothing else matters at all with anything of the presidency except gas apparently and people go “DUR, TRUMP HAD LOWEST GAS PRICES”. Go ahead, vote his dumbass in again, let’s see the prices go down. Maybe the whole world’s gas prices will go down too from voting in a person that has ZERO control over the gas prices.
Ah yes, the good old days of millions dying from COVID
Now do Bush (and show the total adjusted after inflation)
It was the shutdown and suddenly oil companies had more supply than demand. Wish we could do that to them again but without the other side effects.
Yeah, when nobody was driving and there wasn’t a war in Ukraine. Get over the gas people.
Almost as if a worldwide pandemic that wasn’t really all that well handled has consequences.. wild
The world was shut down then. Would him go back to that?
Ah yes. When there was a large supply and literally no demand.
Height of the pandemic. They are price gouging now to make up for it. Don’t you see? The oil executives aren’t rich enough yet!!!
We NEEEEED to invest in public transit NOW. I need alternative forms of transportation other than driving a car
Ah, during “lockdown”, the good ol days.
