Gas prices dropping! Inflation easing! Hooray Biden!!!!!!

Guys, I did some digging into oil transportation costs.  On average, it costs $3 per barrel to move product by pipeline, however it costs an average $13 per barrel to move oil by train.  Every $10 increase in oil cost drives up the refiner's gasoline cost by 24 cents per gallon.  Plus, this oil is sour and would be used within the US, meaning that we would import far less crude in tankers from ugly countries.  That would save an additional $3 per barrel in transportation costs.

Those figures can't be even remotely correct, because they don't factor in the respective distances involved. Pipelines consume energy--oil doesn't flow through them by magic.

(And Boiler may not realize this--but oil flowing from Canada to the US doesn't actually flow "downhill," even if it looks that way to him on a map.)

Here's the killer. Oil has to be trucked from wells to the pipeline inlet(s); then it has to be trucked from the pipeline outlet to refineries. There are thousands of railheads in the US but there will only be a few pipeline outlets, no matter what.

So comparing moving oil by pipeline to moving it by rail must take in the greater efficiencies of the latter, or the comparison is GIGO.

Kevin, once again, proves that he doesn't have a clue about business and in this case the oil business.  He's talking about stripper wells, and oil being trucked to pipelines.  The huge majority of oil is produced at much larger drilling sites, and this oil never touches a truck.  Oil goes from the wellhead directly to local pipelines, and eventually to large interstate pipelines.

Also Kevin, your too lazy to do research on oil transportation, but you're claiming my information is wrong.  How about you do a little work?

 Lewis work??? The only thing that Lewis does that resembles "work" is running his filthy, lying mouth.

Back on topic. Gas has dropped to under $4.

How sad for the RepubliQ. One less thing to bitch about and try to convince us to elect them.

     Really? brain dead Biden has fucked the American public with his energy killing decisions, depleted most of the oil reserves, sold gas to China - and now that Americans are driving less because of the price of gas, and the esculating price of goods (caused by the increase in cost of transporting of goods) - and Lewis and that idiot Toad  "think" that gas costing twice what it cost when brain dead Biden took office is a good thing? You two lying bastards have your heads so far up brain dead Biden's ass that there is nothing you say that is credible.

Just because there's one less thing to whine about won't stop the Davey Dog's of this world from whining about it anyway.

     Funny, as you Lewis are the all time whiners who posts nothing but lies and hate - you are  sick bastards

Can't you just stay on topic? That's why no one likes you here, and, I'm sure, in real life.
