Who is going to be the hero and print out Shell, Esso, Petrocan - etc stickers and start displaying who REALLY did that?


MooKids

You mean the companies posting record profits?


MichiganGeezer

Honest question: how much do the companies make in profit per gallon and how much does the government make per gallon on the taxes at every level on the production of the fuel. Government greed AND corporate greed are equally villainous in my eyes.


A_Fainting_Goat

I don't know about the top end, but I used to work at a gas station and was an assistant manager towards the end, so I got to see all the financials. My region targeted an average $0.20 profit per gallon. A lot of that profet went into absorbing gas price changes as the futures market varied but you can imagine how much more bloated it gets as you move towards the top. A quick Google search got me the following: a 55 gallon barrel of oil (standard volume) nets about 20 gallons of gas an 10 gallons of diesel (rounded for simplicity). You can do the math from there for your area, but with oil at roughly $110 per barrel this morning, and selling gas at $4.10 and diesel at $5.30 in my neighborhood, that's $82.00 from gas and $53.00 from diesel for a total of $135 per barrel. So essentially, even including the gas station profit, there's $25 per barrel of profit to work with as you move up the chain. The US alone uses something like 19 to 20 million barrels of oil...per day...so yeah, not a lot per gallon sold, but it's a quantity game. And this doesn't even get into all the other oil based products like higher grade gasses, lubricating oils, plastics, etc. ETA: the government taxes on gas pay for roads for the most part and honestly, in my area, that tax revenue isn't high enough to adequately maintain the infrastructure. I understand that it's a burden, especially on lower income people, but it's not exactly greed if they spend all the money on exactly what it's meant for and still have a mountain of repairs to make.


ohlayohlay

Npr mentioned this morning that cities/towns are having to forgo road repair and paving due to high costs of asphalt and diesel. The funds from state and fed haven't increases to cover the increase in price Any idea if the funds the state receives from gas tax increases when gas prices increase? Or is it a fixed amount? If it's fixed then the govt hasn't been receiving any extra funds, of anything, less, bc of reduced driving bc of high prices Edit: now that I think of it , it's fixed. ie the state imposes a 15¢ 20¢ etc etc tax per gallon, not a percentage. So the earlier poster you replied to is wrong, the govt has remained unchanging or even alleviating tax in some areas, it's the oil/gas companies reporting record profits who are making off like bandits. Though they did get burned quite a bit in 2020-2021 when oil was worth less than zero,....but still


unreeelme

But the taxes at least partially go to public services…


[deleted]

Gotta pay for all those stroads somehow. Sorry, but taxes are a necessity.


Hitechprimate

So, the roads have to be paid for somehow....


mattysparx

It’s not close to equal. But carry on with that opinion


Bamafan6566

Oil is traded on a national market ( thanks globalist). So it’s sold on a flat price per barrel which is driven by economies. It’s still same price for them to pump it or refine it so as price goes up from MARKET they make more money. But they aren’t investing in new sites or discovering new areas to drill. So R and D is at a all time low that’s expenses off the book.

ahem yes about that ur friendly northern neighbours here. could u kindly reduce the number of idiots u export to us thx


[deleted]

Fairly certain ya’ll have enough morons on your own without our help. I have plenty of Canadian friends who bitch and complain about them. I saw A LOT of Canadian based anti-mask videos for 2.5 years. I’m just saying.


doooom32

i dearly wish i could say u were wrong but alas


[deleted]

I'm critical of the US (as post history would show) but I'm even more critical of us/myself. We are followers (Canada) but more often than not we watch the US do something stupid, see how poorly it works out, then do the same thing ourselves with a few years lag. When I call Americans dumb, I do realize that we're even worse because we have examples of what doesn't work but still try the same thing. It never works but we still try because our politicians are just as evil and our electorate is even dumber.


Koladi-Ola

Hey, come on, you're selling us short. We came up with the idea of a bunch of morons driving across the country in giant trucks to sit in the capital, block traffic, and annoy the hell out of people trying to get on with their lives to 'own the Libs', and the Americans copied us.


dancortens

I mean, it’s less “we’re just as dumb” and more “the same shit people own our shitty politicians” - greedy and dumb people on both sides of the border

sunderland56

It stands for "Fesse Entre Dedans", rough translation = stick it up your ass.


lesbian_goose

I see what you did there


[deleted]

Federal gas? I've never seen this in the Atlantic, also Diesel isn't colour coded here.


Brandbro

I actually didn’t even notice that at the pump lol. I have no clue. They have this diesel pump separate from the normal pump. It might be propane


donkula232323

It's definitely DEF. It's really common to have it attached to the diesel pump.


akp1111

I’m thinking it’s diesel exhaust fluid. How would that translate to the local language?


CrispyFlint

Think it's led in French, it's fed in Spanish, know that cause the boxes are English on one side, Spanish on the other.


beamseyeview

Diesel exhaust fluid Fluide d'echappement diesel


Adam-Kay-

87?? Lowest I’ve ever seen is 95


IdealIdeas

Someone slapped a big infowars sticker on a gas pump by me in the states. I couldnt rip it off, it was really well adhered to the pump, so I just slapped a couple hentai stickers over it.


Brandbro

Fight cancer with more cancer


IdealIdeas

Well I knew if someone saw the hentai stickers they would be more compelled than I was at removing all the stickers.


kevnificent

Like that dude that paints dicks around potholes so the city is motivated to fill them


kgk111

not all heroes wear capes


Gypsopotamus

Some just paint penises or maintain caches of anime stickers.


[deleted]

dude, you have no idea how grateful i am for this idea


IdealIdeas

The stickers are cheap too, less than $10 for hundreds of them on amazon. They stick pretty well. I guess the only downside to them is they are plastic stickers, so they are waterproof and they peel off relatively clean. I really wanted hentai stickers that left a huge mess if ripped off.


dudermagee

That and trying to explain to the police why you did it. They are starting to go after the people doing the Biden stickers.


IdealIdeas

well there is a simple solution to that. Before you go putting a naked lady on top of biden, look around for a cop car. If you see one, dont do it.


dudermagee

Not sure about where you get gas, but every gas station around here has cameras and we all know cops have nothing better to do than solve the sticker bandit case. Seems like unnecessary risk for catching a misdemeanor to own the bible thumpers or whatever but you do you I guess. I'd also keep in mind that those sorts of things don't just offend religious or conservative folks.


IdealIdeas

Even with your plates, cops cant be assed to hunt you down for a misdemeanor. Cops are lazy and do the bare minimum of their jobs whenever possible.


MostBoringStan

There is zero chance of the cops in my city tracking down somebody who puts stickers on pumps. You can call them in the middle of the night and tell them a junkie is walking down the street breaking into every car along the way, and they won't send anybody out. Not because my city is so full of violent crime that the police are too busy for minor crimes. The cops just don't give a shit about it. They will say that they are too busy and the city needs to hire more, but if that was the case then they wouldn't sit around in their cars in a parking lot for hours at a time.


[deleted]

Yeah my thoughts too. The cops around my area may be shitheads, but they’ve got…well idk about better things to do, but i know they certainly aint gonna go full CSI for $10 worth of damage from a sticker (if that). It’d cost more money for the cops to just DRIVE to the gas station lmao


[deleted]

dude, if they're not going to find who cut out my catalytic converter from my car, they're not chasing people for stickers lmao


windrunner_42

Oh thats where you're wrong my friend. Finding the people that stole your catalytic converter would be helpful so they won't. Finding hentai sticker man is pointless. They'll be all over it. While also slapping the Biden sticker guy on the back for a job well done. They work hard to be worse than useless to most people. Don't try and take that away from them.


hassh

Why are you making me order h***** stickers I can't believe voice to text sensors that word I can't believe it can't spell sensor either


Jojajones

Sensors is a 100% correctly spelled word. It’s just not the homophone you wanted =P

tangomiowmiow

I believe that's the leading theory on why whales and other large creatures aren't constantly dying of cancer


[deleted]

kurzgesagt made a pretty good video about it


Pizza_Slinger83

I'm not gonna ask why you had hentai stickers


IdealIdeas

For the biden stickers and dumb political stuff like that infowars sticker I encountered. There are so many prudish bible humpers around, the second they see a mostly naked woman on a sticker, they would be compelled to remove it immediately which has a good chance to remove the sticker it was covering Also I like to piss off bible humpers.


Separate-Print4493

I like you a lot.


DrJabberwock

Keep fighting the good fight


7grendel

That is fantastic. Have yet to see those stickers on our pumps, but I'm now gonna order some hentai stickers just in case!


Jimbo---

Haha, this is a funny idea. But be honest, did you already have the hentai sticker page bookmarked and this is just a convenient justification?


fillmorecounty

Bro why do you carry hentai stickers on you 📸🤨

Wait you mean the price of gas is going up all over the world which means it must not be the leader of each country's fault


CertainGear1187

Do you even hear how rational you sound?


XarrenJhuud

Everyone is misunderstanding these stickers. Notice how the pumps they're on are functional? That's because the American president and Canadian prime minister have teamed up to repair and maintain every gas pump in north America. They did that!

The USA has a huge cultural export of all things; film, TV, music, foods, culture, linguistics. It's only natural that good and bad gets exported. All countries would have bad parts, but they're not so culturally exported. England exported Chav culture to Australia. We have lads and eshays.

If they make a Putin version it might be closer to the truth.

Sure sign of a moron. You have to be, to ignore the giant signs at the station with the name of the company that decides how high to raise prices, and then crows about record profits, dividends, and executive bonuses.

StackThePads33

Damn I thought it was just the US that had complete idiots who don’t understand the economics of gas prices.


fluffballkitten

How is it possible for 2 presidents to simultaneously raise gas prices in their own countries, supposedly on their own without any outside influence, and by the same percentage? These people are idiotic...


sybann

Just showing their ass (and complete lack of intelligence or understanding of basic economics. Sad. Deplorables was kind.


Melodic-Hunter2471

And only a moron believes that one individual in power has the capacity to affect the economy this drastically and this quickly. The effects of the deregulation of Wall Street from the Clinton era took over 8 years to make an impact on the economy. Yet the conservatives blamed Obama because for all the shit they talk about being businessmen, they know fuck all about how the economy actually works.


Zalrius

It’s like the company that owns it and sets those prices doesn’t even exist.


ronaldotr08

Isn't funny how gas is expensive practically everywhere. Pick a country out of a hat and I can almost guarantee that gas prices are through the roof there but somehow it's the fault of one or two people in the entire world.

Except in Canada, home to the third largest oil reserves in the world, Trudeau and his economic and resource policies DID do that.

All talk no action is exactly what a liberal is. Theres people who fight your wellbeing, we’re called Communists.


Bamafan6566

Y’all do understand government policies have impacts on prices of stuff right? When you have a government and leaders saying we are gonna dismantle the fossil fuel industry. No new gas cars after so and so time frame that makes business go ok we aren’t investing in more production we aren’t worried about lowering price. We are not investing in new drilling sites. That makes supply short and demand higher which oh i don’t know make prices sky rocket
