Gas prices are also affected by government taxes, refining supply/demand and specific supply/demand related to gasoline.
If oil prices are your true concern you should be focused on that not gasoline. Gasoline is just such an obvious "grade 9 level" of understanding for the 80 IQs to comprehend. So, perfect for mainstream media hence what I said.
Irrelevant, the $1-$2 jump in gas prices that happened a few weeks ago wasn't due to taxes, it is because of the energy crisis due to an ongoing war.
People are focused on gas because it's the most relevant metric for the average person.
Your argument is essentially saying "Don't care about the price of bread, go look at the price of wheat". What's the point you're making?
I think his argument is there's a way to offset the costs and it's by reducing the taxes on gas prices. The net price we pay includes taxes and shit - an easy way to stop the hurt is to cut taxes on that until this stupid war is finished.
The question is HOW MUCH of that price can we knock off by cutting taxes/duty fees on them.
That is why I said he doesn't understand the impact of the price of gas/oil on the economy. He thinks the only thing oil does is make privately owned cars move.
Even if you eliminate all taxes on gas at the pump and drive the cost down, the economy is still boned in ways we cannot recover from.
