I don't totally get it either. What little I got from my local NPR station was pretty much "Well Trump has been saying things will be fine at the end of every week so prices will go down when the market opens, but they don't believe him any more so oil is like $100 a barrel now." So to me that says literally nothing materially has changed and the oil industry is just deciding to screw us even harder?

NEW YORK, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Top U.S. fuel makers boosted returns to shareholders in the second quarter as prolonged disruptions to crude supplies through the Strait of Hormuz sent fuel prices and refining margins surging.
Industry analysts said refiners' massive profits and strong buyback programs were likely to continue into the third quarter, underscoring how U.S. fuel makers have been among the biggest financial beneficiaries of the Iran war.

The conflict has disrupted global energy shipping and made international buyers willing to pay more to lock in supplies. A wave of attacks on oil refineries in Russia has further tightened supplies, driving up prices for consumers who were already facing inflationary pressures.
Three of the biggest U.S. independent oil refiners, Marathon Petroleum (MPC.N), opens new tab, Phillips 66 (PSX.N), opens new tab and Valero Energy (VLO.N), opens new tab, earned combined profits of $12.6 billion in the quarter, the most since Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2022.
"To say that they made a lot of cash is an understatement," said Gabelli Funds portfolio manager Simon Wong.

Oil is used to make petrol and diesel fuel and the price of oil keeps going up because the supply chain has become disrupted by the Iran war. Do you understand now?

>>542536259
When you don't have any consumer-side strategies for demand destruction, this is what you end up with.

Rightoids think EVs that don't run on petroleum fuels are "gay". The Bush administration killed the PNGV program in the early 2000s that had produced ~80mpg midsize vehicles. Rightoids love driving 8,000 pound pickup trucks to their desk job. The US ripped up its tramlines in pretty much all of their cities outside of the very top tier and now it's all catch up. The US refused to force automakers to support natural gas vehicles even though it has a massive domestic supply.

At a certain point you realize nothing will ever sink in with rightoids. They just can't understand concepts.

Supply and demand. War reduced supply of oil for china, australia, other south eastern countries. So they go get oil from somewhere else since the economy relies on it. They pay more because if they don't they won't get oil and everything shuts down. This causes other countries such as the US to be able to make more profit than selling in the current market. So product which would be sold in America gets shipped there instead causing everyone to experience higher prices. Remember that a corporation's job is to make money and if an opportunity comes up that is more profitable they will drop any current customer to make more with a new customer. Or even force their customers into a bidding war if supply gets too low.

My diesel eurocuck car (actually a Ford) gets 75mpg and I travel like 30 miles a day. Despite the fact fuel is still more expensive here than the US (entirely due to fuel tax) it doesn't affect us nearly as badly as Americans like the retarded boomer in OP video driving a 6 litre pickup and doing 20,000+ miles a year

There's some fear driving up truck sizes. I think half of it is a battle for survival to them, because F350 vs Prius ends in a lithium fireball. They are terrified of family getting hurt, so lifted RAM for the wife. They never tow or haul anything
They need to bring back monopoly breaking, price fixing laws, etc. There is total collusion between the big refining companies, beef too.

Poor fella. I'm sorry to read all that. How long ago were you castrated? I have a moped that gets even better gas mileage. Imagine how smug you'll be putt-putting along at 90 MPG! You can smirk like a coy basedjack with that knowing glance glowering over others as if to say, 'I a one of the lucky ones. I figured out the MPG lifehack that those stupid Americans can't seem to get'. You're quite the clever chap. I can sense that right away.
It feels so awful to roar straight up a steep mountain road with horse power and torque to spare. I feel like such a heel. Like I've been had... bamboozled. I feel guilty about it too. Like I've sinned or something.

Funny thing is, I could convert you to the American way (provided you're actually white) by lunchtime. You'd dump those beans and toast at the first nibble of biscuits and gravy. You'll curse beans and toast by the end of breakfast. Then id let you shoot and AR15. You'd be like, "wow! I totally get it!" You really would.
Then maybe hit the lake and do some waterskiing. Then some BBQ brisket for lunch. What?

You heard me, son.

>>542535305
Here's what really happened. US only imports 12% of oil from the middle east and none of it for fuel.
Canada, Venezuela, and domestic oil directly go to all the gulf refineries which processes millions of barrels per day.

Chinks used to buy all of Venezuela oil and all of Iran oil for their refineries at bargain basement prices since they were under sanctions. Trump cut off both supplies. China now imports Russian oil and had to cutoff refinery exports which most of asia relies on. Chinks refine the heavy Iran, VZ and Russian crude then sell this partially refined fuel that can be directly processed into gas by other countries. That all stopped to protect Chink gas prices and sell locally only.

Now Russians are having their oil infrastructure fucked with by Ukranian jews so can't export as much as the past and is mostly selling it all to India instead of Chinks which want it cheap.

Gulf refineries could simply sell at US domestic prices like Chinks do but they are also jewish as fuck so choose to export everything to Asia and sell at bullshit international prices.

The #1 most profiteering out of all of this is Louisiana those swamp rednecks are getting paid double one is receiving all oil from Venezuela then loading it up down the river to Mississippi, the rest being refined and exported at massive profits
>Much of Venezuela’s oil is heavy and high in sulfur, requiring specialized refining equipment, and Louisiana has 15 operating refineries with a combined crude oil capacity of about 3 million barrels per day. Venezuelan crude already flows heavily to the Gulf Coast.
>Louisiana also has the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, or LOOP, an offshore terminal capable of handling some of the world’s largest oil tankers, which cannot travel fully loaded up the Mississippi River. LOOP connects to storage facilities and pipelines serving refineries and has more than 80 million barrels of storage capacity.

Both the wars in Ukraine and Iran are the problem AND the fact that there is no national emergency pricing so refineries which get tons of tax gibs are allowed to charge global prices.

You guys have plenty of fuel just they want you to pay the same prices other countries have to pay. Our shithead leadership at least dropped the excessive fuel taxes here but many of your states don't

If Germany had mined their own oil or gas or uranium, as we have sufficient deposits, or made deals and terminals for gas from secure alliances and trusted countries, the war in Ukraine would not have caused gas and other fuel prices to spike. It is literally the result of the Schröder government that actively hindered these actions and made us dependent on Russian imports.
