How long will it take for gas prices to go down?

[exitseven]

As soon as the first bombing raid was done the gas stations ran out and jacked up the price of gas and diesel. At the end of the week in most places it was up 50 cents a gallon. When the military action is complete and ships are no longer stopped from travelling thorough the Strait of Hormuz how long will it take for prices to go back down?

Any Day Now?

One Week

Two Weeks

Two months

1 Year

I'd assume as soon as the city of London bankers collect their extortion fee through Lloyd's of London. A conflict happens in the Middle East. English bankers push up oil futures higher through speculation. Iran under direction of the English carries out some terrorist attracts to create uncertainty and generate a supply shock. Lloyd's of London collects insurance dues to secure the shipments... Eh you got a nice oil tanker there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it... Boss wants his money. Shipping companies pay their fees. Then everyone sails through the Strait Hormuz unharmed after the terror attacks are called off. The Iranian mullahs take their cut of the moolah and buy real estate in London. They could have easily paid the U. S. an insurance fee. Trump offered protection and America has the largest Navy and Air Force in the world, but the cabal of the old world system is still loyal to the mafia that has controlled shipping for hundreds of years through London. It's been nice exposure for the average person to see why they pay $15 more per barrel via the insurance scheme, but most people are not paying attention. Extortion right out in the open for all to see, yet many have their eyes wide shut.

Gas prices will stay pretty much where they are through Summer, finally dropping in the Fall.

Remember that gas always gets pricier in Summer, where people driving more increases demand.

Thanks for MHO

from how things have gone in the past I would assume it will take a good 6 months to a year. that's usually what happens in the states when we are at war and yeah who knows and a lot of people i've been talking to on the island are saying they think its gonna go up more before it goes down so we'll see.

[exitseven]

Gas prices on the islands is a lot more expensive too.

[Tiptoetamm]

Definitely. The more it goes up in town the more it raises here fuck

[strateguy632]

Nuh uh! New York price for gasoline is less than national average, 9 cents CHEAPER and almost no increase since yesterday.

[RandomGirl42]

Ty for inviting me to share but I have to give my usual, "I don't know" reply 'cuz I don't know and try to stay out of politics 'cuz I really don't understand them at all but TY for posting the calendar 'cuz it reminded me Earth Day is coming up soon. 🌎

[exitseven]

When they have the Earth Day celebration who picks up all the empty coffee cups and beer can afterwards?

[Tiptoetamm]

that's what I keep asking. why is such a mess made on earth day. I thought that day was about cleaning up our planet. im sure they do have people to pick it up but that's besides the point. A mess shouldn't be made. have respect for our planet. I don't know Man I know there is good intention but shit

[strateguy632]

Huh? But prices already decreased? "Price Drop: Reuters reports Brent crude dropped to $87.80 and WTI hit $83.45 on March 10". "Oil prices fell by over 11% to roughly $87–$90 per barrel on March 10, 2026, marking the steepest drop since 2022'. Stocks up, oil price falls as President Trump says Iran war may be near the end. Will Democrats DEMAND that he continue it or else start impeachment?

[exitseven]

despite democrats cheering for an Iranian win it looks like it is pretty much over. Just a few missile installations and drone depots to neutralize.

The local Mobil ststion had gas at 3,59 last Friday. The Shell station across the street was 3.49. I noticed today that Mobil was also 3.49. I donlt know if the price is really going down or it the owner of the Mobil station saw his business plummet.

[strateguy632]

I heard shell gets from Venezuela. But still you saw how competition lowered prices so already lowering.

[strateguy632]

3.49 is amazing! National average today was 3.72! Makes me wonder about "fooling customers' so they will hate trump. Those who oppose trump want people to hate trump so raised price without real need.

They are still producing oil. It is just on ships waiting for the rest of Iran's launchers to be taken out, then they will be free to ship it through the Straight of Hormuz. I'd think it would take 2 to 3 weeks after that for prices to go down.

[strateguy632]

I hope so!

[HighValue]

They showed satellite images of the ships in waiting. The only problem is that by the end of this week there will be no more ships left to load (they are full already) so that could leave prices higher for a longer period of time after the Strait of Hormuz is safe to travel.

[888theGreat]

We are using up surplus , America can't process it because Trump would rather attack countries that have not attacked US and kill their Children fast enough. Middle East countries have stopped production and shut down. It takes months to get going again. Russis helps , but that hurts Ukraine, and Venez helps. Imagine if Venez would have blown up their refineries to keep US from getting oil. So the lag of getting oil back in markets will be a year and gas will get to $6 a gallon.

[OlderAndWiser]

Tell me when the Straits of Hormuz will re-open and I'll answer the question.

[strateguy632]

But ships went through last week every day more.

You'd have impeached Biden for this already. The hypocrisy is hilarious as always with you.

[exitseven]

Biden was president when gas was over 5 bucks a gallon and nobody impeached him.

[AngryCarl3]

They will never go back down to what they were.

[sage2021]

Probably after September at least.
