Makes sense. We import less oil. For example. about 8% of the oil consumed by the UK is imported from Russia. We import 3.5%. This is the market repricing panicking.

Fixed it for you.

The market isn't rational in the short term. And the news doesn't help. Now, we have panic around nuke plant.

Now that I think about it, it would be interesting (if someone wants to go through the trouble) of seeing what gas prices did when Iraq invaded Kuwait (and adjust for inflation).

A) I'm not going to pay for it, I need that money for gas.
B) That only goes back to September of '90. Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 90.

How many days before we hit $5/gallon?

We're already there.

The gas prices were probably to large to record in a spreadsheet in the months leading up to the invasion and war.

If gas buddy is accurate it looks like here the prices are holding between $4.40-$4.50 since yesterday.

$4.59 at Fry's Grocery

According to a tracker the news has up the gas station I normally go to is $3.79 as of 6am this morning. I filled up at that same gas station for $2.94 around 2 weeks ago.

3.49 at Sam's yesterday afternoon when I filled up. Today it's 3.86.

I don’t think any reasonable person would be happy about paying more for gas. On the same side, I don’t know anyone who is changing their driving habits.

Driving isn’t a hobby. It’s something I do to get to work and places I actually want to go. I’m not sitting at home on my time off just because I want to save some money on gas. Now if you’re working minimum wage then I would totally get it.

Same with if you were of driving age going into 2008/9 and are currently crying about filling up your truck.

Lots of huge pickups by me. I'm sure a lot of crying is happening.

A small village on the coast:


Yes that is $8.459 for regular.

All of AZ will be crying because most people either own a large SUV/truck or maybe both. We own a suburban and spent $90 on gas today.

Gas is averaging 3.99 here in Texas. That’s high for Texas. Never seen it hit that high here before even in 2008/2009.

Um no. Are you claiming that high gas prices will no impact on demand? That is not what Econ 101 says. Most trips are discretionary. The traffic volumes are far higher from Friday evening to Sunday evening than they are during the workweek. The traffic starts backing up in central and southwest Washington over 100 miles from Seattle on Sunday afternoon.
