Popular Post Brocky Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 Paul, Diesel up here has gone up about a dollar and a half a gallon since this started. Gas also but not as much. I can understand with the Straight closed the import of crude is down and this will affect FUTURE prices. BUT BUT why has the price of the already refined product jumped overnight??????? I think the oil companys are ripping us off!!!!!!!! 7 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76444-the-iran-event/page/4/#findComment-593083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Thanks fellas, I think reason for the fuel hike is to pay for the next load of crude, not the stuff they already have And were else are we gunna go Thinking this bit of excitement in the middle east might want to be over soon otherwise your fearless leader might not be to popular with the people after 6 months of high prices Anyway, it still beats walking Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76444-the-iran-event/page/4/#findComment-593091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I guess the U.S. oil mighten need to have as much travelling through the Strait of Hormuz as Australian oil Things like this really effect Australia as a lot of our exports go through this shipping channel as do our imports The flow on effect can be quite dramatic But maybe it is a small price to pay to sort the mess out over there Apparently the up take of electric cars in Australia has sky rocketed since this layest bun fight began Who knows, not me, that's for sure Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76444-the-iran-event/page/4/#findComment-593108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel has gone through the roof in Australia $1.65 - $2.60ish in a week in Australia This is per litre price so multiply this by 4 for gallons Paul Can't belive! Sounds very drammatic. What I can say... Diesel is about 80-70 American Cents per litre here in Russia. Slowly creeped up from 50 or so Cents a year ago. And with no affect from the Middle East events. Sanctions work two ways. The 2nd is limitation of oil products leaving the country's inside market. But honestly I would better like the both events to not take place. 3 4 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76444-the-iran-event/page/4/#findComment-593120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted March 17 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 17 Note Pence's comment at 7:00 This wasn't a moment where America went and started a war. This war started 47 years ago when the Iranian regime took Americans hostage and held them for more than 400 days. Three years after that, with their allies and Hezbollah, they murdered 220 Marines, 20 more service members in the attack on the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut. This isn't about starting a war, it's about finishing a war that's nearly 50 years in the making. I think you frame it that way. I think the American people will understand that if we see this through, we're not only we're not only going to defeat an enemy that we've been fighting with for decades, but the world's going to have an opportunity for greater peace and prosperity than ever before in that region and beyond. . 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76444-the-iran-event/page/4/#findComment-593159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted Saturday at 06:52 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:52 PM I dont know why fuel is so high.. The smart T.V. people say that we only get about 1% of our oil from Iran, and that the U.S. and Venezuala produce more oil than Iran and Russia combined. L.N.G. is another fuel we are rich in.. Anyway,, Just curious. I have not bothered to read 10 different web site news outlets yet.

Brocky Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM Our diesel prices have been jumping around like a "button on a backhouse door" at the same station for the past 2 weeks. Went from $3.19 before the war started to $3.49 to $4.19 to $4. 59 to $4.99 to $5.09 then up to $5.39 over the last weekend, then back to $4.99 on Thursday (and I bought 30 gal) and today it is back to $5.09?????????

Anyway,, Just curious. I have not bothered to read 10 different web site news outlets yet. A few points. A global oil glut for over a year has largely prevented us from feeling the closure of the strait. But now that cushion is evaporating. Oil is different around the world. The oil needed depends on what you plan to do with it. e.g. produce plastics, motor oil, gasoline, ect. The explosion/fire at the diesel processing facility within the Valero plant (Port Arthur) has a bit to do with our rising diesel prices. But be aware there is a global shortage of diesel. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76444-the-iran-event/page/4/#findComment-593877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
