Yep, gas sucks right now, but in Iowa it's still less than when Biden was POTUS. Diesel is ridiculous for sure, and we can blame that on the "low sulfur" requirements and additional refining required. I'll just drive the '94 f250 til diesel is reasonable again.
Cali gas and diesel were screwed before the Iran war started, because Newscum ran out Chevron's last refinery with enviro regs. He can try to blame on Iran, but that's just cover for his own policy failures. Gas and diesel will be high in Cali, OR, and Wash, for a long time until refinery situation changes.
Regarding the war in Iran, well, it sucks. However, paying a little extra for gas for a few months so we can wipe out the ability for Iran to continue to intimidate all of its neighbors in the region is worth it IMO. I'm 51 and we've been at war behind the scenes with these guys my entire born life. They've demonstrated their missile capability and reach are greater than published, and one nuke into a neighbor or Europe would've changed the mindset of the world real quick.
My biggest frustration is with the strait and the lack of cooperation from nations that actually depend on the flow of oil. Although these are the same nations and allies that constantly bitch about Russia while inking a deal that made them 100% dependent on Russia for their natural gas. SMH...
At this point, we are committed, and we need to finish the job, and that means opening up and holding the strait, with or without help. The alternatives, ongoing appeasement, sabre rattling, threats, and sanctions, that have been the policy since the 80s are no better and haven't worked.
If this isn't wrapped up soon, I agree with others that we're going to suffer big losses in the midterms. Then again, that will happen anyways if our pathetic leadership in the senate can't get the SAVE act passed.
