Price Check in the Gas and Diesel Aisle...

Oil prices and the U.S. dollar have been moving in the same direction for over a month—an unusual pattern considering the typical inverse relationship between the commodity and the greenback.
The positive correlation—with both the dollar and crude oil prices moving higher—is not so rare, but it sure isn't the usual inverse link that has been seen more often than not for decades.

Unusual Positive Link Emerges Between Dollar And Oil | OilPrice.com

The traditionally inverse relationship between oil prices and the U.S. dollar has been disrupted recently, but analysts believe this anomaly will be short-lived due to potential economic slowdowns.

HOUSTON, Oct 22 (Reuters) - For the past four years, the United States protected oil refiner Citgo Petroleum from creditors seeking to seize Venezuela's foreign crown jewel for billions of dollars in claims. But on Monday, a U.S. judge will kick off an auction expected to place the Houston-based company in the hands of rivals or investors.
The auction could start a new chapter for the 113-year-old company, which has been owned by Venezuela for almost 40 years. An unknown is whether Biden administration's decision last week to ease energy sanctions on Venezuela could allow the country to repay creditors and end the lawsuit.
A senior U.S. State Department official in Washington last week said in a briefing the sanctions easing should not affect the auction. The U.S. separately extended Citgo's protection from creditors until January.
Reuters has tracked the court case for more than a year and has spoken with nearly two dozen people including employees, investors, board members, attorneys, U.S. officials, rivals and creditors involved with the company. The story they tell is one of miscalculations and a federal judge determined to make Venezuela pay its debts.
Citgo likely will end up next year in the hands of one or more of the largest refiners operating in the U.S., potentially leaving Venezuela with nothing, according to the people most closely involved.

"Oil" and the oil industry will be around for a long, long time, The idea of converting the world to battery power is nothing more than a pipe dream. When you see these deals going on and the staggering amount of money spent for companies to stay in the oil business.... It's not going away. What will happen is a barrel of oil will be selling for a lot more money in the future.

Chevron said on Monday it will buy smaller rival Hess in a $53 billion all-stock deal.
Chevron is offering $171 for every Hess share, implying a premium of about 4.9% to the share’s last close.
CEO John Hess of Hess Corp. is expected to join Chevron’s board of directors once the deal closes, the companies said in a statement.
The deal comes weeks after rival Exxon made a $60 billion offer for Pioneer Natural Resources that would make it the biggest producer in the largest U.S. oilfield.

That comes under that topic of "REGIONAL". Lot of guy's wanting to relocate without checking the actual cost of living in certain regions. The retailers are running those mega computers / data centers / Cloud info and just about have consumers pigeon holed down. Got it figured where it cost more in fuel to drive a long distance to get a deal. When a man is pondering a move, he needs to go camp out there for a few months before making the jump. Fuel cost, property taxes, delivery charges on utilities and all those other minor expenses will add up....

A day before the EIA released its latest estimate, the American Petroleum Institute reported its own estimate showed an inventory build in crude oil and in fuels over the week to December 1, which sent oil prices even lower.
Per the EIA, fuels last week booked inventory increases.
In gasoline, the authority reported an estimate inventory build of 5.4 million barrels for last week. This compared with a build of 1.8 million barrels for the previous week.

This is all getting you ready and primed for the election, it is a no lose for them.....not like the election matters, then why do this....easy it is the road to their goal, destruction of the USA.

If they "win" the price of gas will start to rise on Nov 6, and I have little doubt it will be well over $5 in many places inside of a year after the election. If Trump wins it will still go up, but media will be blaming Trump saying look how cheap it was under Biden, you wanted this here it is. Like I said they can't loose with this. How many stories do you see about the oil reserve?

Thing is people will buy it, be happy and buy their new Tesla and think they are so smart and try to justify it to the moon. All the while they are the true idiots that can't see, or refuse to see the truth.

Then get ready for your power to be limited....you know for the greater good, you can't charge at home unless you are in a specific group of folk. People will get grumpy and they will give just enough back to keep fingers off triggers.

We are so screwed.

Saudi Arabia recently released a statement that they are going to increase pumping to kill our production in the Permian basin. I expect prices to get lower as the fight for market share heats up.
