How will gas prices rise?

How do you think the prices at the pumps will climb after the midterms?

Joe won't pump more of the strategic reserves (the stash we have for war and emergencies) out in the market after midterms, so the prices are sure to go up.

Not to mention the reserves are now below 50% because he's trying to keep prices below double of what they were the last 40 years.

But will they shoot up or slowly climb? What do you think?

Immediately shoot up $0.50 or more

Start climbing slowly few cents a week

Rise $0.50-0.75 ! Week until 9/gallon

Few weeks after midterms it'll rise slowly over a year

So the question came back up - as usual - after some high-school dropout reported it- as usual.

Depends upon how much of a thumping the Republicans give the Democrats in less than two weeks!
Just read that the US refineries are not set up to refine domestic light crude. So if Joey stops oil exports. We will have plenty of crude. But no way to refine it!
So that is why the US has to basically trade crude with other countries. Even though the light crude is cleaner!

It's completely unpredictable. Prices change all the time. If prices change after the election, it's just coincidence. Politicians have almost no say in long term gas prices (unless they change the direct tax on it).

Well, you know, it's all Trump's fault, or Putin's fault, or Arabia's fault... Joe has NO control over the gas prices AT ALL... UNTIL the prices drop a few pennies!! THEN it's JOE'S fault!!

Darlin' Joe GAVE AWAY half our reserves a few months ago to China!!
