Loading ...GAS MATH
SOME ARE CALLING THIS THE GREATEST ENERGY CRISIS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
LETS DO SOME MATH.
USING AVERAGE GAS PRICES IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES . NOTE OF COURSE GAS PRICES VARY BY REGION WITHIN COUNTRIES BUT LETS KEEP THIS SIMPLE
CANADA
CANADIAN GAS PRICES ARE PRICED IN LITERS AND OF COURSE CANADIAN DOLLARS
1 YEAR AGO ….$1.56 /L
PRIOR TO IRAN…$1.32 /L
TODAY ……….$1.72 /L
SO …10% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR
AND….30% HIGHER THAN LAST MONTH
UNITED STATES
IN GALLONS AND US DOLLARS
1 YEAR AGO…..$3.12 /G
PRIOR TO IRAN..$2.98 /G
TODAY……….$3.98 /G
SO….27% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR
AND…33% HIGHER THAN LAST MONTH
……NOW FOR INTEREST SAKE LETS COMPARE TODAYS PRICE OF A US GALLON OF GAS IN US DOLLARS TO THE SAME WHEN WE CONVERT CANADIAN PRICES IN LITERS TO US GALLONS AND CORRECT FOR THE CURRENCY SO WE COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES…
I US GALLON = 3.785 LITERS …
SO $1.72 x 3.785 = $6.50 ( DO A US GALLON COSTS $6.50 CANADIAN DOLLARS)
1 CANADIAN DOLLAR = .72 US DOLLARS
$6.50 C = $4.67 US
SO CANADIANS PAY 69 CENTS MORE THAN AMERICANS ON AVERAGE (17% )….THATS THE CARBON TAX LIKELY
SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNEWD SO FAR ?
IN NORTH AMERICA THE GAS PRICE INCREASES SO FAR ARE FAR FROM APOCALYPTIC
HOW ABOUT THE UK ?
5.46 POUNDS PER GALLON = 7.20 US DOLLARS
A BRITISH ( IMPERIAL ) GALLON IS 20% MORE THAN A US GALLON SO REDUCE BY 20% = $5.76 A GALLON WHICH IS 45% HIGHER THAN THE THE US AVERAGE
THESE MEASUREMENT UNITS ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT …WTF ? EVEN A GALLON ISN’T A GALLON
SHEESH…
NOW HAVE A LOOK AT THIS ITERACTIVE MAP FOR GAS PRICES IN THE USA…LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCES
HIGHEST PRICE IS CALIFORNIA $5.98 ( MORE THAN THE UK ! ) THANKS NEWSCUM
LOWEST PRICE IS OKLAHOMA $3.25
TEXAS IS $3.61
US uses almost 400m gallons PER DAY. So that’s $400m more out of people’s pockets (EVERY DAY), and away from already tight budgets for housing, food, etc. $3B/wk, nearly #100B/mo. And that probably takes spending away from labor intensive jobs (discretionary) and the money instead goes to a sector that’s capital rather than labor intensive. So more jobs will be lost on net. On top of that, the commercial portion will likely wind up as higher food prices, among others, via freight costs.
Meaning … its a potential STRAW piled onto a camel’s back.
WOW WITH AI THESE DISCUSSIONS CAN BE DONE AT LIGHTNING SPEED
I MAINTAIN THE GAS PRICE INCREASE OF $1 A GALLON OVER A SHORT TIME ( UP TO 6 MONTHS ) IS TRIVIAL !
HERE ARE SOME CALCULATIONS FROM MY NEW BEST FRIEND CO-PILOT
For the average U.S. driver (someone who actually drives):
? About 10–12 gallons of gasoline per week
Here’s the clean breakdown using recent, well?cited data:
How we get that number
Average miles driven per driver: ~13,500–13,700 miles per year
(Federal Highway Administration–based estimates summarized by multiple sources) [get.goauto…urance.com], [moneygeek.com]
Typical real?world fuel economy: ~25–28 mpg for light?duty vehicles
(EPA & transportation averages) [epa.gov]
Annual gasoline use:
13,600 miles ÷ 27 mpg ? 500 gallons per year
Weekly gasoline use:
500 ÷ 52 ? 9.5–10 gallons per week
Because many drivers use less?efficient SUVs or trucks, the practical range is:
?? 10–12 gallons per week for the average American driver
What that looks like in real life
Roughly 1 fill?up per week
About 260 miles per week
Fuel cost (example at $4/gal):
$40–45 per week
SO A $1 PER GALLON INCREASE IS ROUGHLY $10 A WEEK
IS THAT ENOUGH TO TANK THE ECONOMY ?
Diesel math : Ask an owner of his Kenworth rig and fuel costs, $10 buck a week is your idea of this cost of Walk on Water Trump ? lol
While the war in Iran has sent gasoline prices soaring around the world, there are growing concerns about how the spike in the cost of other fuels could also affect consumers and the broader economy.
In Canada, the average price of diesel has surged to nearly $2.30 per litre — more than 50 per cent higher than just three months ago.
PAY THE BILL OR CLOSE UP SHOP
EITHER CHOICE IS BETTER THAN BEING NUKED BY THE MULLAHS .
THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY FOR “PROTECTION” …
3 THINGS
1….THE MULLAHS STATED GOAL AND POLICY IS DEATH TO ALL INFIDELS , DEATH TO AMERICA . THEY ARE MANIACS AND DEAD SERIOUS ( MORE DEAD THAN SERIOUS LATELY )
2….THEY HAVE BEEN RAMPING UP MISILLE PRODUCTION AND NOW HAVE LONG RANGE MISSLES CAPABLE OF CARYING NUKES
3…THEY ADMIT TO HAVING ENOUGH ENRICHED URANIUM FOR 11 NUKES
LEAVING THEM ALONE WAS NOT AN OPTION
