Fuel prices around the world.

We know about that... Remember? How are you doing btw? Around here, you can actually cut CRP ground once per season and I do.

Got 2" snow yesterday. Life is good. Depending on contract, we can cut here too. Just figure it's a LOT cheaper to burn this time.

Don't know about the new ones other than injecting raw fuel into the cannister seems wasteful to me. All for pollution reduction....lol

You really need to get off this kick, at least until you know wtf you're talking about. My old 27hp L275 burned 2 quarts of diesel per operating hour. My 33hp L3301 burns a gallon every two operating hours. That's only 0.00% extra consumption, with 22% more horse power.

When did inflation begin to soar and did anyone really believe that gas would be exempt from the increase?

I feel we learned a lot about you today. I expected more out of you, but the tribalness is on full display.

Gotta admit, you‘re absolutely right.
thinking CNN is actually a believable, reliable source of information and post 644 is very informative

There’s a lot of snarky attacks today from people grinding political axes. Personally I don’t like left or right wing politics. Both are extreme and they see everything in the context of only those worldviews. I’m an independent and consider myself a centrist. We need to support our leaders to do what’s best for America, realizing that there is nobody that any of us will agree with on every issue. The thread is about fuel prices, that are very complex and much of this is due to factors originating from the oil companies themselves. Market and shareholder decisions, not politics. We have actual data showing increased drilling rigs year over year, yet we have people who continually deny this and interject politics. I have been attacked enough by snarky comments ant people who don’t believe facts published by the petroleum industry themselves. I think that many posters in this discussion today didn’t present themselves well, probably myself included. It’s time for a cooling off period.

I agree with things you say.

If you think Market and Shareholder decisions aren't political you are naive. Since I don't think you are naive, I must assume you just got confused with the "snarkiness" (using your metaphor).

Every topic in this thread is political. Every one. As long as we follow along like the Sheep we are we will be allowed to have this discussion.....

If we touch on the truth hard enough the thread will be locked.

After 653 posts, somebody finally hit the nail on the head. The reasons don't matter at the end of the day. With fuel prices increasing this fast, inflation can do nothing except rise astronomically. This country runs on diesel, and it's going to cost more to get everything from where it's produced to where it can be consumed.

True, but one thing I would add to that is that FUEL is soaring higher much faster than anything else.

The world sees CNN and believes their garbage is news., that’s why people should care.

I would hope that most people can understand the difference between talk opinion shows and hard news. There is a plethora of talk opinion shows on both ends of the political spectrum. And the networks actually label their programming as “news hour” and the xx show. It’s sad that people think talk shows are news.

Ok. Every business decision is in some way political. You are correct. So this means that big increase in drilling rigs in the Permian basin during calendar year 2021 must have a political origin. Or did the industry just see good profit opportunities? Keep in mind that the Permian produces more than 50% of total US oil and gas.

You have never cited any source of news that you believe is reliable. Let’s hear it.
