What caused this gas price jump? Yesterday gas went from 1.75 to 2.05 and than rose another 10 cents last night, winter storm?

Fuels are transported for most of the distance through pipelines.  The end of the pipeline or terminal has a bit of fixed storage.  If the inventory there is increasing, prices will fall.  When the inventory falls faster than it can be replaced, prices rise.



Things that impact pipeline price are pipeline utilization and refinery price.  




One more impact on retail price is trucking.

This time if it goes back up it's going to go nice and high.  So many small producers and shale companies already got outed... when prices increase and supply dwindles, it's going to be real interesting to watch.

I heard on the local news that gas price fluxuations (at least locally) are being blamed on a BP refinery that is having problems with production.

But I think we all know the real reason.

The way it works here now. Today the price went up 40 cents to 215. Over the next two weeks it will go down 2-3cents a day til it reaches 175 , then jack it back up to 215.

This is the fourth ti.e it has happened. Its a complete joke and has nothing to do with anything

Yes, either the global oil market is more complicated than you're willing to take the time to understand or, alternatively, it's all based on absolutely nothing.

west texas intermediate is down $9/bbl over the last month.  that should more than compensate for any local production issues that may raise prices

Not nothing, dude.  It's based on they.

In other news, RBOB futures sit at $1.30, which is basically the low of this slump.  WTI at $45.46, pretty close to the low.

OPEC’s El-Badri: $200 Oil Possible If There's Lack of Investment

“If you don’t invest in oil and gas, you will see more than $200,” Abdalla El-Badri said in an interview in London on Monday, without giving a timeframe. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. crude benchmark, erased a decline of as much as 2.7 percent following his comments.

Those are probably crude oil collection and transport pipelines.

What if i told you...I've never bought any of the show merch. I mean, you probly wouldnt believe me, but i liked it as a cartoon..but then again, I've enjoyed most of Lauren fausts cartoons.

Back on topic: I didnt hear about the pipeline explosion, i just figured it was snowmaggedon causing it or something else to have such a drastic jump in 2 days.

Yes, absolutely. They WANT to charge you 1.75 for something you were paying 3.58 a gallon for 6 months ago. They just have nice feels this quarter.

Oil is a commodity. It has a value. Folks pump it, refine it, and then they sell it. Other entities around the world do the same in a competitive manner. Tariffs, taxes, technology, politics, weather, surpluses and seasons all have an effect on gas prices...and the degrees of each of those effects are complicated and interrelated.

Sounds strange but I hope it goes back up and stabilizes at a price just high enough to get the politicians to SHUT THE FUCK UP about increasing taxes on gas.

You're kiddin', right? This is GD. Everybody knows that Obummer sets the price of gasoline and those billionaire oil companies dance with glee as Americans are bilked out of their hard earned duckets. Look at their revenues...never mind the amount of product they sell...or that the price is cheaper than bottled water.


Having the governments of all the states on the eastern seaboard declare the end of the world might have made the retailers think they might have to wait on resupply. Less availability commands higher prices. They'll drop back down tomorrow. Hell, WTI is at $46.23 and has been around $45.00 for the past couple days.
