I guess it's no real surprise when you read the specs. The hybrid makes only 20hp less, 60ft/lbs more torque, weighs less and doesn't have the jumbo tyres slowing it down.

Hybrid Raptor when?

The electric torque would also be available all the time too right? Like from 0 rpm right to redline max torque from it the whole time if I'm not mistaken.

It's really expensive. It's huge. It's totally impractical.

But it looks really cool.

No but there isn't investment going into oil like it used to be, the crash during Covid probably didn't help either.

It’s all profit taking and they are going to continue to price gouge unless demand collapses or we get rid of the GOP and actually pass anti-gouging legislation.

So, get used to it. There’s no end in sight.

Gas prices typically go down when the republicans win. Make of that what you will.

Hrmmm yes I will “make” that republicans have politicized gas prices and are actively attempting to ensure they remain high so that it can be a bullet point for the upcoming elections in their ad campaign.

American gas prices are absolutely a USA thing. The discussion shifted to politics and it’s impact on US gas prices. How’d you miss that? There’s only like four posts between mine and yours.

It's almost as if the oil companies have a vested interest in keeping one party in power and manipulate prices accordingly to make it a party talking point.

That said, the $3.25 in the bush era would inflation adjust to $4.41 today.

Yeah and I'm saying that doesn't matter.
Demand isn't a sure thing anymore since oil barrels went negative, remember? Suddenly oil isn't a sure thing if demand can just crater so easily, driven by transport.


KillHour posted:

It's this sort of idea, it's absurd. If the USA elects 6 Trumps all at once it doesn't matter, the writing is on the wall for oil demand and the companies are aware of it. Might as well squeeze all the profits you can since there is no demand growth you can assume will be there anymore, as the negative barrel cost has made very clear.

It's really over this time for ICE, better adjust to the new world moving forward. Virtual Reality is real, computers can spit out indistinguishable -from-human-made art, Porsche makes the world's best wagon and our dystopia forms ever clearer. Also hold on to your classic cars no matter what they are since lmao if you think those will ever be inexpensive ever again!

I think whatever the resolution is to the war in Ukraine will settle gas prices. Saudi Arabia at some point in this crisis could have probably upped production and eased some of this, but it is probably too late for that and they don't have a president who they bribe anymore, so they weren't inclined to help.

That it happened at all is the whole deal, not why.

Like hey maybe I'm totally wrong and we'll all laugh heartily as we fill up our trucks with under $3 a gallon diesel.


It also probably doesn't have much to do with Ukraine either:

It happened because of derivative financial instruments. You should do a google and learn about futures contracts etc. It was only negative overnight, not during market hours if i remember. There are plenty of explainers about it.
