So you only have 3.5 gallons left?

If you have a hybrid, and baby it after a fill-up, you can achieve similar readings the first few miles.
Of course YMMV.
What we can do is take the API data from 2024 and use 6.6 million bbls per day as the crude oil imports. Mods, I used a screen shot from API.com to show the crude oil number. Still, it’s a long ways from claiming the country produces 22 million bbls per day.

We don't use anywhere near 22MBPD - last numbers were just over 20MBPD - its likely less already because were also exporting people. Mostly south.
Also saying we import 6.6 MBPD without mentioning we export 4 MBPD of crude and 12 Billion Cubic Feet per day of LNG is disingenuous. Net-Net is what matters.
Oh you mean the approx $900B in direct payments to taxpayers beginning in 2000 and ending in 2021? The payments encouraged by BOTH prior administrations combined with a huge percentage of the workforce which demanded higher pay when they were rehired after the lockdowns?

Ya. Taxes, shipping, and perhaps anticipated refinery maintenance? I'm not sure.
Hold on. Just simple numbers. The USA imports 6.6 million bbls of crude oil per day and produces 13.5 million bbls of crude per day. I didn’t insinuate anything more than that.
I frequently see a reposting of a job on LinkedIn. I've wondered if they're just looking for a unicorn or have no intention of filling it.
Or they’re looking for suckers. Places around here want 5 years of experience and certs like A+ and network+ and then offer $22/hr.
I had a quirky drivers Ed teacher in high-school who was an ex football coach. The previous year he had a Cadillac cut off a student driver. So at a red light he confronted the "hooligan ". The guy had a loaded .38 between his legs. He quickly apologized and made a beeline back to the driver's Ed car. You never know.I suppose he could have parked like that for $2.49 in Houston a few days ago - only it would be a 3500 with a .40 inside and I’d have said “nice truck”

This site states we import 7.9 million barrels a day. (updated this month)
You can probably find numbers out there to support whatever argument you're trying to make.

The US Energy Information Administration is supposedly the purveyor of facts.
eia.govEven they admit no one really knows for sure how much we actually use domestically due to import and export, equivalents and import / export of refined product, fertilizer, LNG, etc.
Driver of the Beetle definitely had the right car for the time. I was working part-time at a Standard station and driving a Triumph Spitfire. With it's 1300cc engine, I felt like I was in the catbird seat as well.
As have been my posts. YOU tried to make it solely about oil, while ignoring the new policies and regulations implemented in the 1st quarter of 2021, which directly drove up the cost of gasoline to the consumer, and inflation.
As of an hour ago, at the closest gas station, which is never the cheapest, Gas is still $1.80 below it's all-time high in the summer of 2022...
California flight to Santa Barbara on American was rescheduled due to ‘weather’.
Instead of 2 flights (8 hours)…... now it was 3 flights with crazy layover times (2 days to get to California) so we cancelled the trip.
Maybe this was a good thing ?
We were looking forward to the California Dreaming, sunshine, food, sightseeing, etc….
Maybe I accidentally run into a BITOG member in southern California.

You have no clue as to what percentage in the rise of gas prices is attributed to policy changes in Q1/2021. The fact you're ignoring the ~$1T in direct payments to taxpayers from 2020 through 2021 AND that oil prices were at pre-pandemic levels at the time exposes your bias.
My thread is about people behaving badly at a gas station that is always crowded because it has the lowest prices. Specifically, many are on edge because of the price hikes.
You're lucky, our jerks are everywhere not just the low rent stations
