Pretty good for summertime. - Oil prices are a function of supply and demand. Demand was down with COVID, but coming back up. Supply is down due to the US federal lands being off limits now after 75 plus years of supplying about 30% of our supply. The US has shifted from a net exporter to a net importer. The same is true of natural gas. Our local prices have been artificially lower due to a new retailer that is trying to establish themselves and is undercutting the prices. We were running about $2.99 and have dropped down to about $2.87. It is WAWA which is big up North I am told. Nice pump islands and easy in and out for a RV with food cooked on site. Huge crowds there now.
- 4.30 average price in my area.

What functioning pipeline or oil field was shut down?
Sure does, when closing down pipelines and oil field areas it sure does effect price. YES these have been recent political decisions.
I am not going to play the word game with you. You are smart enough to know what I said is true.Desert Captain wrote:

The pipeline hack and the Texas freeze have done more to impact gas prices than all of the politicians of both parties. Factor in the huge changes in consumption, the serious shortage of qualified tanker truck drivers due largely to the Covid pandemic and you have all the ingredients for the market chaos... and there you go.
