Fuel prices around the world.

[Steppenwolfe]

Look, you're either trying to post inaccurate replies to my comments, or you have reading comprehension issues, or some other agenda.


Fuel prices are NOT up that much since 2019.

Diesel is up 5 cents since May of 2019, and it's 3 cents cheaper since May of 2018.

U.S. No 2 Diesel Retail Prices (Dollars per Gallon)

I'm going with "some other agenda"...

The only “agenda” I have is a common sense agenda.
Who cares what gas prices were 2 years or 10 years ago? You can post all the links and graphs you want. Fact is inflation is 6% now. Fuel, lumber, steel, cars, etc are becoming unaffordable.
Looking at past, lower prices only serves to prove my point that people are earning the same and paying more for commodities needed in everyday life.
Why is it so hard for you to understand the hardship that puts on people who buy commodities for a living? Is it because you don’t have to buy a lot of those commodities?
Try having a little sympathy. You act like it’s no big deal

I don't think he uses a lot of fuel on his urban farm.

You're one of then ones posting prices from last year and trying to make something out of it. 2020 price were an anomaly due to things that have never affected consumer prices before.

The charts and graphs prove that prices today overall aren't really any higher than they were before last year. Lumber and building materials are up due to demand and processing shortages, real or perceived. People have more money because they weren't spending it on travel and other non-necessities. They're spending it on their homes which is helping the blue collar workers.

Because in past posts, you have tried to put the blame on someone for the higher prices today VS last year. The reason fuel prices dropped last year were due to a worldwide pandemic, not some genius policies that were enacted. Now that prices are back to the same level they were two years ago and rising, you speak like some benefit is being taken away from you. The pandemic was(is) not a benefit. However, you and I both benefitted off of the world's misfortune and the economic impact of it last year in the forms of lower fuel prices in your case and lower spending needs in my case.

Commodity prices are rising because demand is rising as the pandemic is easing and supply can't keep up.

Every time you post that link it brings up comments about a preview to Biden's green agenda. That's politics. The posts will be removed. Pretty simple.

I see said the blind man to the deaf mute. It seems more likely that it contradicts your previous post.

Post the facts. Leave the politics out.

Eh, without being political:

A passion for "drill here, drill now, a desire to compete in global fossil fuel markets, and a desire to complete pipelines in the US.

vs

Support for reduced emissions (Paris climate accord), not fighting the Russian, European pipeline, and heavy support for green national policy.

We all have beliefs of which is correct, but, to try and make it sound like the policy differences don't impact price is a real stretch.

Certainly price is supply demand, reduce or make supply more difficult, leave demand the same, and you get higher prices.

I love to hear others opinions and ideas, I know mine aren't the only way. But I do wish folks would understand and own the good and bad that come from what we want and how we vote.

about a year ago gas was $1.69 now is $3.73 gal
When it hits $10 think it will be gittie up mule leee

Over here, diesel is now at $6.52/gal and gas is at $7.44/gal and both keep on rising every week with no signs for stopping.

Very frustrating, specially when we see the detailed pricing of the fuel and realize that 65% of this prices is straight up taxes. Some taxes may a little bit of sense, others are simply some non sense that the Government created to easily rip people off.

On April 20th of last year, crude oil futures were trading at a negative price due to the pandemic. Demand was down 30 million barrels a day. There was no more storage room for crude oil. Russia and Opec were squabbling over production cuts. That's what drove prices down. So, YAY! We all benefited from that pesky pandemic in the form of temporarily lower fuel prices. And unemployment in April 2020 was only 14.7%. Yep. Something sure was going right last year.

Unemployment was down to 5.8% last month, people are going back to work, and demand for fuel is rising worldwide now.

Sorry... I tried.

Sorry... I tried.

I just started typing a response to your post as it disappeared. What's up with that?

I'll get concerned next spring when I have to raise my prices to offset the cost but this year is a non issue. Bought all of it before the price went up. I'm still being conservative like not idling the tractors excessively even though I do like a cool operating enviroment.

next year, like the good farmer I am, I'll pass the fuel cost on down the line to my customers who will, in turn pass it on until it gets to the consumer (you) who have no recourse but to eat it.

Life is a bowl of cherries isn't it?

No... nothing wrong on your end. I had posted a response that one of the mods must not have agreed with and they yanked it.
