Price of gas is almost 5 bucks a gallon here in Ohio.

Oof. Yeah the other day I told my nephew after I picked him up from school. I'm like, you support Trump, give me 50 bucks. Heh. Nah, but I'm hoping ppl will be more allergic to bullshit now that the results are speaking for themselves. Ahem. Normally I don't post politics. But we be coming up to a crescendo.

USA has oil reserve for next 3 months , if nothing changes price will go up a lot.

The USA is being fed crude oil daily by Canada and Venezuela. 70% of the US domestic crude oil supply comes from Canada and 20% comes from Venezuela, both countries shipping by direct pipeline to the US. As long as the US maintains a civil relationship with Canada, American oil reserves will not deplete. Always remember, the shut-off valve to that Canadian crude oil supply is located on the Canadian side of the Canada/US border.

@swirlie if nothing changes in 3 months time , they will need to stop all export of oil products .

@Khenpal1
Why you think that?

@swirlie Oil firms in USA have huge export right now , but the reserves will only last 3 months. Like in 70' there was export ban, similar case may happen soon. EUROPE can last 6 months. USA,use twice more gas then the rest of the world. 9 dollar per gallon is very realistic.

@Khenpal1
Are you suggesting that there's an export ban on right now from the USA?

Khenpal1 · M

@swirlie not now, but it may be soon.

@Khenpal1
Not now but it may be soon? What makes you think that it "may be soon"?

Khenpal1 · M

@swirlie The amount of oil sold outside USA

@Khenpal1
You don't have a solid argument here. What you're saying has no relevance in the current situation with Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

@swirlie what argument ? Trump can't block oil export from USA . Only act of congress can limit export , hardly going to happen. When shortage happens , price is going up . It may take 5 months to return to normal.

@Khenpal1
I should have said, you don't have a solid rationale for your perception of oil exports from the USA.

And what oil shortage are you talking about as it pertains to the USA?

The USA is being supplied by Canada for the vast majority of American crude oil. There is more oil in the ground in Canada than there is in the entire Middle East.
