Costco has petrol for $2.51 / U.S. Gallon. That beats the average around here (Louisiana) of $2.97. What is it looking like your way?

I'd have me one of them newfangled Hellcats at that price.

I wonder who pays for that cheap fuel.

Where do you think the $2 trillion that the US administration has been spent so far in Iraq, Afghanistan comes from?

ETA It's $6 trillion, sorry!

Does the US actually import much oil ? Genuine question by the way.

40% of all petroleum products, so yes.

I imperial gallon is 1.2 US gallons.

What is there, 4.5'ish litres to a gallon Imperial? At £1.29 per litre x 4.5 is £5.80 x 1.2 = £6.96 x 1.55 (GBP to USD) is $10.78 equivalent

I think....It's either that or $7.50

Not sure. Domestic production is high here and rising. I do know we get NO oil from Iraq. I don't think it is cheap as much as yours is too high.

We still do but are very close to total oil independence. Not to be political but the current administration is doing all it can to limit domestic production. Even with that, we are still close to actually exporting oil. We are currently the world's top natural gas produce, hopefully oil is next.

I don't think that's entirely true.

As it's run by western companies (BP, Shell etc) is doesn't show as "imported oil from Iraq". IIRC.

Although it has been know for me to speak bks sometimes. smile

I’m guessing the argument that gasoline is, and has always been, much too cheap in the USA, resulting in people driving vehicles which are far too big, heavy, wasteful, polluting and inefficient isn’t going to get much agreement round here?
