Title: gas
Post by: guncrasher on July 17, 2022, 01:55:51 AM
see price of gas down 1 buck in my area, not all of them but prices are going down. how's in your area.
Title: Re: gas
Post by: Bizman on July 17, 2022, 03:19:24 AM
The prices came down from €2.6 to €2.2 per litre since the Government lowered the requirement to mix sustainable fuel to fossil fuel.

Down about 10 cents here from the peak in southern Idaho, now $5.20 to $5.25. I do not believe the current exploding Inflation has peaked.

It went down about 20 cents for gas and about 30 cents for diesel here. I don't expect it to stay there for long though. I expect it to go up once everyone realizes the saudi's are already pumping at about 100% before biden went begging.

Post by: -gg- on July 17, 2022, 10:38:05 AM
I guess it's down a little at the ARCO near me. It's 5.50 right now I think.  I'll check later. In Los Angeles it varies by a lot depending on the area. They get you in some places. Like 6.95 a gallon.

I don't pay a lot of attention to the price though because I need the gas. I fill up and try not to dwell on the price. 90 percent or more the the gas I use is for work, so I get reimbursed for that anyway. My employer added a higher reimbursement when prices started to go up without us even asking.
 So it doesn't hurt me as much as it does some people.

Why do you call it Gas?

Natural gas , LPG or methane

Petrol is a fluid

Then again you call Budweiser beer.

And that yellow stuff you call mustard

Those droplets are vapor. The vapor mixed with air is explosive when ignited. That's why safe storage is critical. It's not the petrol, it's the vapor.

gasoline is a liquid but it won't burn. it needs to turn into gas it what you call fumes, fumes mixed with oxygen and an ignition source will burn.

you can test it put 30 gallons in a drum grab a chair and sit next to it.  if there's no fumes it won't ignite, if there's fumes start screaming and roll on the floor. hard that helps.

Yes, the vapor is the gas phase of petrol.

Amazing how this basic level of physical chemistry seems to elude some. Though there are gases that do not require a liquid form of origin at normal environmental conditions (though they may be compressed to such) there are gases that are comprised of vapors emitted from such. And yes, they may be captured and contained.

I was joking, obviously. Biden blames "Putin's tax hike" for our inflation.

Really, OPEC and Russia and are the main reason for the price of oil. Gas is pretty much tied to oil prices, but there can be issues with refinery capacity.

During Covid, OPEC cut output by 10 million barrels a day because there was a glut. Suppliers couldn't store the oil and they got rid of it however they could. OPEC has not made up for the production yet. We are not back where we were. Also, markets affect oils prices. The Russian war caused a spike in market prices too.

It's stupid to say a President can affect gas prices in any significant way in the short term. The higher prices for oil are world-wide.

Long term, a President can affect prices. Like canceling pipelines, restricting oil and coal production, taxes, and a bunch of other things.

Prices will come back down eventually. Maybe not where they were for awhile.

The Biden administration is no friend to oil. Biden is preparing executive orders declaring a "climate emergency" I'm sure that will not help with the price of gas or energy.

volcanos? the closest one is mount Wilshire and it's in the middle of Hollywood. still active I think.  don't know.

power blackouts think we have had 3 around here in the past 3 years. 2 happened last month on the same day and lasted a few seconds.  what we have is brownouts,  rolling brownouts but not that common and it doesn't cover entire cities.

You pull water out of an area that normally has it and you also affect everything downwind since you no longer have evaporation to add humidity downwind.

6 Western States share the Colorado River water resources via an agreement between those six states. So it's not like California is pulling water from another state. Six western states take water from the Colorado River.
All of the rest of the water that California gets we rely on groundwater and snowpack or rainfall.
The water issue is an issue in the entire Southwest. California is not pulling another state's water resources.

The evaporation of water from places other from where it is supposed to be is having an effect on where said water rains back down.   
I lived in the Leona valley and the San Joaquin valley and seeing the infrastructure projects. 

Now we have farmers who aren’t to collect the rainwater that falls on their own land.

I was joking, obviously. Biden blames "Putin's tax hike" for our inflation.

Really, OPEC and Russia and are the main reason for the price of oil. Gas is pretty much tied to oil prices, but there can be issues with refinery capacity.

During Covid, OPEC cut output by 10 million barrels a day because there was a glut. Suppliers couldn't store the oil and they got rid of it however they could. OPEC has not made up for the production yet. We are not back where we were. Also, markets affect oils prices. The Russian war caused a spike in market prices too.

It's stupid to say a President can affect gas prices in any significant way in the short term. The higher prices for oil are world-wide.

Long term, a President can affect prices. Like canceling pipelines, restricting oil and coal production, taxes, and a bunch of other things.

Prices will come back down eventually. Maybe not where they were for awhile.

The Biden administration is no friend to oil. Biden is preparing executive orders declaring a "climate emergency" I'm sure that will not help with the price of gas or energy.

OPEC is controlled by the US you clown

The real issue is diesel prices which affect everything from agriculture to transportation

Tax has little to do with cost. It's more about opportunity. I expect the justification is that the vehicles tend to be heavier.

Making transportation cheaper was a key to raising the world standard of living. Now it's more expensive and people who confuse weather and climate want to make it worse.

Yes I know. Zack is not a bad guy. It's just that I was pointing out his behavior and how that's tolerated somehow. If that behavior is tolerated then it should be allowed for everybody.

Personally, I really don't mind what people post. I think that politics and any other subject should be open here as long as people are civil. Uncivil behavior is what is bad not what people say or believe, or what opinions they might have on any matter.

My stalker who referred to me as an it today is disgusting to me.

Probably the car with the handicap tag on the mirror.

Inside he might be the guy taking up a table and just ordering a water and offering unasked for advice to the paying customers who actually support the place.

I picture someone very overweight, unhealthy and poor from living a very unhealthy and lazy life.

LOL at some point he would open his mouth.

haha

He'd be the guy going around to all the tables, sitting down uninvited and telling them how to behave at the table. Or off complaining about something to manager.

Wow. You're really chuffed. This might be the longest held grudge over nothing I've ever witnessed.  :cool:

Here's how invitations work in my part of Texas. We don't invite ourselves, we do the inviting. Also, most here aren't so attention starved.  :D

ha!

you don't know me very well if you think I get upset at anything people say on a forum.

Just clarifying that were talking about you, not Zack.

Zack isn't bad.

I live in a castle and you are not rich enough to be in my social group.

My butler would let you have the left overs

It wouldn't be in a public place if the Christian Nationalists have their way. You would be PNG.

The only people that have ever disrespected me are all lefties. Calling me an "it" and such.  Yourself included.

I'm a well grounded, happy person. Furthest thing from a victimhood mentality that there is. I know some people project.

I'd never want anyone's pity.

I do pity anyone who has to encounter someone like you in real life.

Not at all. I don't hold grudges.

I dislike you immensely. I wish you would stop following around and quoting my posts.

You are a disingenuous, busybody, suck-arse and just a negative person. 95 percent of your posts are ones where you are henpecking and pestering someone or offering your unasked for advice on how to behave according to toejam-bag Arlo.

A big, overweight loser. A Karen.

Overweight, half blind and probably disabled due to living an unhealthy life.

You are uninteresting. You are not very intelligent, are you're a bigot and a hypocrite.

You cannot leave people alone. You are a passive aggressive buffoon.
