Where Gas Prices Are Likely Headed

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/5/2021 1:20:11 AM

Bank of America is warning that gas prices could go significantly higher than they currently are as Americans are currently paying approximately $3.41 per gallon across the U.S. for regular and just over $4 per gallon for premium. “Bank of America is now predicting that Brent crude oil, which drives gas prices, will zoom to $120 a barrel by June 2022,” CNN reported. “That’s 45% higher than current levels.” Francisco Blanch, Bank of America’s head of global commodities, spoke with CNN about the prediction, noting that back in June he predicted that the price of crude oil would shoot to $100 a barrel.

All fuel prices, not just gasoline. I just got the 3rd high price warning in 4 days in Illinois from Ameren on my smart power pricing for tomorrow. In November. In more than 10 years of being on smart power pricing, I have never even seen a warning except on the very hottest or coldest days. Tomorrow is supposed to be around 50 degrees. Had four last month, too. Democraps = Freezing in the dark. FJB

BoA is not someone that I like or trust. I recently closed my last remaining account with these pukes, which was a hold over from years ago, used only for PayPal. They finally angered me enough to create another account in another bank and switch my PayPal to that. I wouldn't doubt what they say, but they could be totally full of beans, too. Rotten company.

Trickle down economics can be good or bad. Gas prices are at the tip of the spear for inflation.

BOA disclosed the customer data of hundreds of innocent cardholders to the FBI in connection with Jan. 6. This means BOA can never be trusted. Is there a non-woke bank?

In Ireland in the first decade of the 2000s, gas (“petrol”) was $7 a gallon. And I remember it was very expensive in Norway in the first decade of the 1970s — and Norway was swimming in wealth because of the North Sea oil boom.

This sharp increase in oil prices shows that Biden’s payment of $450,000 per illegal immigrant, up to $1 million per family, is an act of kindness. How else can an illegal alien and his family pay for gasoline, home heating oil, food and that 10 day cruise in the Caribbean without Biden cash? And get to remain and travel freely in the US as an undocumented alien. Biden may not like Americans but he knows how to make these invaders comfortable. Seriously, there will be a severe drop in sales of pickups and SUVs as gasoline prices go over $4.00 per gallon, hurting GM and Ford. Plus lots of repossessions of gas guzzling vehicles. Worst of all, energy poverty will become the norm for those living on modest pensions or incomes. BBB, Build Back Brutally. FJB.

We don't need large institutions to issue us dire warnings, we see it every day. As it was in the other gas crisis we have lived through, the first one in 1972, people will drive less and less until the wholesalers and retailers feel the pinch. They will put pressure on the government by paying less in income tax and the government will adjust. At least a sane government would move to correct the problem, this bunch of lunatics is unpredictable.

I use heating oil, approx 50 gal/week in the winter. My furnaces are running this morning. The numbers on the thermostats should read $$ signs and not degrees. At least I live in the South - Piedmont NC - and it will get back to the upper 60's-low 70's starting Sunday, and will get a reprieve for a few days. But this mid-century modern ranch (all original) with high ceilings, lots of glass, and R-0 insulation factor is like heating a big tent.

If you recall, Obama openly stated that gas prices needed to go to $9 a gallon. but he never quite got there. Now that he and his cronies have President Poopypants as their puppet, the final climb to that goal looks very possible. They're loving all the anguish they're causing for the deplorables who cling to their bibles and their guns...but not doing much with either...so far.

Oil has been at the $100 level before, and gas prices were around $4.50 a gallon in most parts of the country. The price didn't stay there too long. Now with inflation in play, the price for gas could end up being $5.50 or $6.00 a gallon in much of the U.S at $100 a barrel. However, unlike in the past when a price that high would increase production, and bring the price of oil down, Biteme has limited the increase in production of oil in this country. So the price could stay higher for quite a while.

The oil companies cannot produce oil, when they are capped on the amount of carbon they can produce, without confiscatory taxes. The oil companies are abandoning most of their development projects all over the world. The people of the world will have to decide if they want heat and cooling in their homes, and gasoline for their cars, because the international communists in charge have every intention of eliminating carbon availability, to be replaced with wind and mice with rubber bands.

The last meltdown was precipitated by a rapid rise in oil prices to $150 due to an explosion in Chinese demand. Businesses quickly shut down or cut back due to the increase in fuel prices followed by rapid layoffs resulting in loan payment defaults by overextended, technically unqualified, usually immigrant first time home buyers with inflated mortgages. No one wants to talk about this but were are going there again. It doesn't matter how low the interest if you don't have a job. But wait, our liberal government will absolve mortgages holders who choose not to pay, while you do. Another giant leap of socialism is just a step away and of course they are actually orchestrating the whole thing to advance their green agenda of no gas vehicles.

They probably never will as long as they are getting their cut (just like Joe). Would hope they see Biden is bad for business, and act accordingly, but big business is controlled by the left anymore.

Very aware, #22, thanks. Paypal is ONLY used from two computers, never from phone, and if I care about tracking, the phone is wrapped in several layers of foil, which WILL stop any electromagnetic signals, in or out. Most of the time....I'm at home or other places where I really don't care if they know I go, like grocery store, Home Depot, or the range. And if I were ever to want to speak in actual privacy, the phone would be far away, as would any other phones. But... not being a very interesting person to track, and having had a top secret clearance for most of my adult life....I've already been as deeply probed and tracked as anyone ever can be by the government. If there was a smart phone that used some OS other than Apple (I despise the company, and all their devices, and have since the 80s) or Android (google), I'd probably get one. As it is, ALL "apps" are disabled or uninstalled on my smart phone other than a two, Gasbuddy and a weather app, and location is permanently off....and yes, they can still do tower triangulation, less precise. For both GB and weather, I have to enter a city.

Consumer borrowing accelerated by far more than expected in September, as American households dealt with rising prices by swiping their credit cards and taking out more loans. Total consumer credit increased $29 billion, up from a $13.8 billion gain in August, according to data released by the Federal Reserve Friday. Economists had been expecting a $15.5 billion gain, according to Econoday. That’s a monthly gain of 0.7 percent, well above the decade average of 0.4 percent. Compared with a year ago, consumer debt is up 4.9 percent. Consumer prices rose 0.4 percent in September and were up 5.4 percent compared with the prior September.

But school officials decided to suspend the girl for “false reporting.” The Daily Beast and the local Fox News affiliate reported on the development, both refraining from using the name of the girl or her mother, who spoke to the media about her daughter’s experience.

So far, the CDC shows no signs of following suit. According to The Summit: The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country's official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.

Special counsel John Durham has started to hit paydirt with three arrests so far, the tip of the iceberg, and the story is essentially buried because the media don't care, and they don't want the public to know the truth.

Last year, the number of deaths exceeded that of births in 25 states — up from just five the year before. The marriage rate is at an all-time low — 6.5 marriages per 1,000 people. Millennials are the first generation in which a majority are unmarried. They are also, ironically, more likely to live with their parents as adults than any previous generation, according to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.

Congress is requiring in its $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that automakers install monitoring systems in their cars to stop drivers from operating their vehicles while intoxicated. The bipartisan package, which is on its way to the president's desk after passing the House on Friday, allocates around $17 billion for the road safety programs. Monitoring systems to stop drunk drivers would roll out in all new vehicles as early as 2026, according to the new legislation. First, however, the Transportation Department would have to assess what the best form of technology is and give automakers ample time to comply.

Former President Barack Obama called on world leaders to save the planet, but he couldn’t quite identify which country he was in. Mr. Obama’s speech Monday at the COP26 climate-change summit is being mocked for his reference to host Scotland as part of the “Emerald Isles,” which is a nickname for Ireland. “Since we’re in the Emerald Isles here let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare,” Mr. Obama said. “‘What wound,’ he writes, ‘did ever heal but by degrees?’” Observers pointed out Mr. Obama actually committed two gaffes in the same breath. Shakespeare is considered the bard of England—yet another country. Scotland’s bard is poet Robert Burns.
