While I think what you have said here is true, It is totally irrelevant of the point I was making about QT manipulating the retail price of gas in Tulsa over the last 20+ years. You are talking about the global price of crude oil with all it's ups and downs based upon geopolitical pressures. My point was about QT's pricing based upon the statewide average retail price and had no correlation with what was happening with the wholesale price of crude.kingfish.... do you happen to remember Joe Biden's fist day in office? he went on national TV, and announced he was canceling ALL of President Trumps policies, and ecutitive orders, that allowed us to be energy indepent, (produce more crude oil than we use) for the first time in 50/60 years, under both parties leadership? being energy indepent, and the worlds largest consumer of petroleum products, allowed us to set world commodity prices on crude oil, for the first time in 50/60 years. Biden gave, ( SOLD) that privledge back to OPEC his very first day in office, and told us, he was saving the world, and preventing the inland sea, called DEATH VALLEY FROM BECOMING A DESERT! Bench mark Crude Oil on the commodity market was $34.00 bbl on Nov 4th, 2020, election day and had been stable in that range for three years, 87 octane gasoline was under $2.00 per gallon, and had been for three years, REMEMBER? Today benchmark Crude Oil on the world market is $90.00 bbl. and 87 octane gasoline is near $4.00 gal. and up!! QT didn't cause this, greedy Oil Companies, and Refineries didn't cause this, The tooth Fairy didn't cause this! The American people that voted for Joe Biden, or worse, WERE TO LAZY TO VOTE AT ALL, CAUSED THIS!! These Crude Oil prices are about 90% responsible for the OUT OF CONTROL INFLATION WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW!! Try and name one consumer product that the cost of petroleum products does not effect, in some way? have a good day!!
