But it was a pipeline just passing through, assuming You’re talking about keystone XL. And I’m still asking how one pipeline, added to however many we already have in this country, would make a difference? Again, the pipeline wasn’t in existence when gas prices were lower, so how does a nonexistent pipeline correlate to higher prices? The pipeline-as-an-answer makes zero sense.
Gas @ $3.99 and increasing to $4.25+

Dude... do you have reading comprehension issues? I said it wouldn't right now. But in the long run it will help.
And I’m asking you how, DUDE. What would a pipeline that wasn’t even designed to distribute crude in the US going to help? Prices have been low before the pipeline, so again, how would another pipeline help? Certainly you have a better answer than “it will”?
I'd say that is a very misleading number as a lot of Democrats also live in dense population centers with a higher cost of living. That's the problem with just using data, it can be very misleading. Adjust it based off of cost a living and see if that statistic flips, wouldn't surprise me in the least for that to be the case.
And then depending how that number is calculated, you have some supper rich liberals that skew the number badly. That's the problem with talking averages, extreme outliers can really effect the value.
Check the price of gas in Europe,then think I`m glad I live in the U.S.A. Sweden $12 and change a gallon.
So you can't see how the promise of having it come online when finished vs no way it happens could have any effect on oil prices ? Astounding, well not really.
So? Who gives a crap about sweden? Just because some other country pays that doesn't mean we have to when we have every capable means not to.
Yeah you just can't have an intelligent conversation with him and his other cronies on here. As soon as you pull that democrat lever, your IQ drops to 0.
As I’ve said before, it wasn’t in existence when gas prices were lower, so how would it help now? There are countless pipelines in the country already. How is one more going to dramatically help? The consistent retort of “it’s going to help” or “how can you not know it’s going to help” without evidence answers exactly nothing. You know that, of course. You just can’t help but be a low functioning idiot on here.
So you can’t answer how it would help either and fall back to a tired retort as well. Typical.
As long as you are here with bob the low function idiot bottom is sealed up. You talk and talk and have not one GD clue what you blather on about.
"A new influx of up to 700,000 bpd from Canada will dramatically increase U.S supplies and in turn drive gas prices down. A study from Energy Policy Research Foundation found a greater supply of Canadian oil could save Gulf Coast refiners almost $500 million annually in transport costs, which, in turn, would mean lower prices for consumers at the pump."
In other words, if we don't have to have trucks hauling the oil back and fourth, we will save money in the long run, not to mention the pollution saved from less trucks on the road.
OMG You are stunning! That should get you in for post of the year! PF1 is just such a wit, too stupid to understand basic concepts and is buddies withe Builderbob. Not much more to say
PF1 is so stupid explaining to him water is wet would be futile. He obviously has no clue that the cancellation of that coming online soon effected prices. Sure we wouldnt be using it today yet but the promise of it effects trading and future markets etc. I swear he lives in @BuilderBob6's basement

03 linked an opinion from 2011. Try again, you dipshit.
Edit, just because I want to see which dumb insult you’re going to pull out of your bag. But HOW did the cancellation of a pipeline that would have taken years to build affect prices? You saying so (especially you) doesn’t make it so.

Guess what....we'd be a lot closer to it producing than we are now. And that would be a great thing.
Nah, you have long since established yourself as the board idiot. I don't need to add on to that. And exactly you, especially you, saying something doesn't make it so. When Bob flushes his toilet does the rushing water in the pipe wake you up at night?
This is true. The reserves will only add about 1 1/2 days of extra supply - a literal drop in the bucket.

The average price for a regular gallon of gas in the US is $4.17, according to AAA, breaking the record set in July 2008.

Producing what? The XL pipeline was designed to send the majority of the oil from Canada to the gulf coast and then be sold off most likely to other countries.
When prices were down a few years ago, the pipeline wasn’t here, so I fail to see what major impact one pipeline would have on gas prices when the pipeline wasn’t around when prices were lower.
Gas near me jumped from $3.99 to $4,25 in the hour or so I was at the gym yesterday afternoon. So what, turn the knob a bit more on the pipeline to bring it back down? There are so many variables in the price of fuel. Why aren’t you questioning what the energy companies could do to lower prices? You don’t think a $.25 jump in an hour isn’t gouging?
I’m all for looking at all alternatives to assist. Hell, I never even said I was opposed to the pipeline, but to say it would have been some kind of massive salve is short sighted if not discussed in context of other variables.
I did answer to someone else. As usual you fail at reading. Typical.
Made that much more accurate for you.
Hopefully he understands accounting better than this subject.
I wasn’t going to spend the energy to explain it. Thanks for your efforts. It will fall on deaf ears.
Opening the pipeline is not a "magic bullet". However, keeping it closed makes no sense from an environmental and climate perspective. The cost and environmental impact of trucking/rail transportation from the tar sand fields to the port is completely the opposite of what anyone would want. The pipeline shutdown was nothing more than political theater and miscalculation based on signaling that this administration was doing something for climate change. And the rubes who follow that garbage believe it was a great win.
With regard to oil profits, it doesn't cost any more to refine now than it did when gas was at $2 a gallon. So when supply goes down and prices double, profit margins are going to look good. It's supply and demand, basic macroeconomics. What's to call out? You think oil companies are going to lower prices when they don't have to just out of the goodness of their heart? And you talk about people bitching about gas prices being dumb...
Keeping what pipeline closed? XL? Because the main keystone pipeline is functioning. How can something be closed that doesn’t exist?
It’s because you can’t. “BeCaUsE I sAiD sO” is the standard retort on here with nothing but an empty void behind it. Par for the course with the right wing brain trust in here.
