Especially considering that the average price of a barrel of oil the last 4 years is about 15 % more than it was the previous
3 years. I did not include 2020 as that was a total shet show as we all know.
To blame the present level inflation on just gas and oil prices is too simplistic and easy. And don’t get me started on price gouging.
With all due respect.
And labor and healthcare costs go into the price of gasoline and diesel and natural gas, in addition to the prices of fuel. It isn't just the raw commodity prices of nat. gas or crude oil that go into the at the pump final prices. It has to be gotten out of the ground, distributed, refined, delivered...... You can see below that refining cost went up 32% with almost the same just 25% higher crude oil price and that was just 2023.

^^ I have an extensive response to that Kex, but it would be certain to upset people here and most definitely would get this thread shut down. Suffice to say that at least that money is transparent whereas people in certain (ahem) positions where they are paid low 6 figures salaries are somehow getting filthy rich.
PS: Rachel Maddow gets $25M for one show per week 🤣🤣🤣
PS2: "Profits" pretty much includes CEO pay and dividends and stock buybacks doesn't it? That was in the graph. We need to find a graph like I posted but one that separates refining costs and profits instead of lumping them together. That was sneaky of them lol.George / NJ
