Gas/petrol prices usually rise in summer anyway, as people drive more and increase demand. This increase is early than usual, caused by what's happening in Iran. I wouldn't say I expected it, but I'm not surprised. Here in Southeast US, gas prices rose by about 50 cents per gallon, to around US$3.30.

Considering my full-ups are usually only half of my 13-gallon tank (about 50 liters), I guess that means I can't afford a BigMac meal this week. What a concept. Increasing oil prices help me eat more healthy food. 😁

I think you are foolish if you think gas prices are rising because of war.. They are rising because they can. None of the fuel you buy comes from Iran or Russia.

There is no less oil on the market due to the war, we don't even get our oil from Iran and we (America) are the ones keeping the oil flowing by keeping the Straight of Hormuz safe and open for tankers. There is as much tanker traffic flowing through there now as at any other time. High gas prices right now are artificial and being dictated by the oil companies, not the government.

I’ve been waiting for it, a war in the Middle East never bodes well for petrol. Unfortunately last week was my “off week” for getting gas, I only top up every fortnight, so this week I’ll have to pay a lot more. I’ll also be filling up the petrol canister as a back up.

Anyone who didn't know the gas prices were going to rise at least 1 week ago their vote should be worth less than mine

The barrel price actually did not. So all this is, is the stock market making profits through war speculations

loveslongnails · Answer

Why wouldn't you? The price of oil has almost doubled since Jan 7th. It was $56 a barrel then, it's $102 a barrel now, and it will go even higher. Brace yourself for more.

exitseven · Answer

yes, it is still much less than it was 2 years ago. In a couple of months this war will be in the rear view mirror and gas prices will be going down.

Tree fitty for a mufuckin gallon of gas? Damn, shit, that is wack! I really don't know the conversion rate of liter/litre? vs currency depending on location.

Mike_Hum · Answer

of course, any type of conflict would send oil prices up in the short term. They'll stabilize back down shortly.
