My 2002 Tacoma TRD Double Cab V6 is in great shape with only 78,000 miles, so I will probably keep it for a few more years. CarMax offered me $16,000 for it about a year ago. That was almost too good to pass up. Then the plan is look for a used pre turbo Tacoma V6 like you have.

[@sowpur]

The elevated used vehicle price has been great for trade in though. Traded in my 11 yr old Camry hybrid for $10500 after putting on 60K miles (87K odo) and I bought it used 6 years ago for $12500. Insane how in 6 years, 60K miles the vehicle only lost $2K in value

What they tell us is my state is dealers (gas stations) have to sell the gas they paid max dollars for that's in their underground tanks for max retail or lose money until it's gone. Yet when crude goes up in price they instantly raise prices for the cheaper gas already bought. Go figure....

[@sten260]

is just an excuse to shut people up. the real reason is demand, if the demand does not go away even with higher prices they will not lower them. The only reason why anybody in the economy lowers prices is when nobody is buying your stuff. Scotty was 100% correct on that

[@theamericanopry]

Maybe you missed it, but Scott Sheffield was found to be colluding with OPEC to keep gas prices high, resulting in an average increase of over $1000 per person in the US. “When corporate executives’ words or actions reveal…a belief that they can collude, we should generally believe them,” FTC Chair Lena Kahn said in announcing the commission’s decision.

Regardless of whether or not 6% decrease makes only a small difference. I still find that kind of hard to believe because Friday after getting my truck from the shop, I took a ride during the day before my evening shift at work. During that time, I was charged $4/gallon which resulted as probably the biggest sum ever put out towards buying fuel for any vehicle I had in my possession. While getting the tank filled, the attendant told me one of his family members who lives in California said fuel prices for that state are $9/gallon. I just briefly looked at the fuel price comparison for different states. The result of that discovery is South Carolina has got fuel prices at least a little cheaper compared to my state of NJ.

[@chazzwestlv]

Even though oil prices have dropped about 35% from their peak last year, gasoline prices at the pump haven't seen a significant decline. This is because OPEC+ has implemented production cuts to keep prices high, reducing the overall supply of oil. Rising global demand for oil also supports higher prices, even as supply increases. U.S. shale production has ramped up but isn't enough to counteract the effects of OPEC+ cuts completely. Refining, transportation, and distribution costs remain stable and don't decrease proportionally with crude oil prices. Taxes and regulatory fees on gasoline are fixed costs that further keep prices from dropping significantly. Additionally, regional variations in taxes and local supply conditions affect gasoline prices. Therefore, despite a significant drop in crude oil prices, structural factors in the market keep gasoline prices relatively high.

Oil companies do their part to keep gas prices high, and if the rest of the world will pay more for American gasoline than American consumers, U.S. oil companies will export it to whoever pays the most for it. Oil companies are international entities and the oil market is international. It's Economics 101 plus International Trade 101 plus U.S. domestic politics plus commerce as a substitute for warfare.

[@user-un4mu1hj5o]

Supply and demand is always relevant, but they do have to pay someone to truck the gas around. That price doesn't go up and down, just up. They have to pay people to work at the gas station. The station has to pay rent and that doesn't go down. Economics can be complex. It's not always as simple as supply and demand.

They will just cut production to drive up prices. It’s a non parsable product. It lasts forever when not burned or used. I had a 94 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible 3.4 dual overhead cam. Had almost 400,000 miles before it was stolen. Drove great it was front wheel drive

There’s no such thing as fossil fuel Fossils have only been found as low as 16,000 feet. We drill for oil between 26,000 and 32,000 feet deep! We need to drop the words “fossil fuel” ⛽️ they keep telling us we have 10,000 new oil drilling leases, but a lease is worthless without a permit. We have ZERO PERMITS from this administration!! 🤷🏼‍♂️ We need to pass the bill HR1 to open up drilling & fracking oil! PERMITS!!!

Rumor over here in California is Refineries are max out,old outdated with no new Refineries planned. Also, even though diesel fuel is less cost to make diesel fuel is made in less quantity than gasoline thus labeled a commodity that merits higher price at the pump😆😆😆

It’s pretty well known that changes in the price of oil don’t get reflected in price of gas and diesel for about two months or until the oil is delivered and refined.

Scotty, The gas prices in Ohio are going up daily because of this stupid e-check in certain counties in the state. I truly believe that all 88 counties should have to have the testing if the Ohio EPA is going to make just certain ones do the emissions testing. What's your input on this?

Last time oil was $120 a barrel gas went up to $4.25 here in Oregon. Now oil is 70ish a barrel and gas is over 4$. I think the climate cult has their hands in our pockets. They need gas $ for the private jets

[@kermitefrog64]

You are correct. It has been horrible in California but the prices have dropped about 50 cents in the last few weeks but its still outrageously over priced. I remember how low they were when I first started driving it was 59 cents a gallon. Minimum wages were $2.65 an hour. So, you could buy 4 gallons of gas for the minimum wage. Currently the minimum wage is $16. 00 an hour but gas has be around $5.00 dollars a gallon. That means that you can only a little over 3 gallons. So, gas prices are higher.

[@PazLeBon]

you have sun so should be solar no?

[@terryward1422]

On my last fill up I paid $1.67 CAD for a litre of gas. That works out to $4.61 USD per US gallon. Even at that price the cost of switching to a new EV doesn't work out. It cost me $160 for gas per month and the price for a base model EV is four times that amount. Until there is a new $20k EV for the mass market there is no business case for cost concious consumers to switch to an EV.

@@jbrown4137 The cost of renewable energy is dropping in the US year over year. There has been very rapid growth of renewables in the America South West so electricity prices there will drop first.

[@seanmcfadden6600]

$479 a gallon?

[@donaldforsyth2986]

An even bigger scam is the price of motor oil. Most people don't realize that a 42 gallon barrel of oil contains 168 quarts of oil. So even if a barrel costs $80 there should be profit in selling motor oil at $1 a quart. So why is the oil on the shelves minimum $4/quart with most priced at 6-7 dollars? There's just not that much processing to make motor oil from crude oil.

[@tjmeyer3037]

Hi Scotty, I recently acquired a 1998 Buick Riviera with the supercharged 3.8 liter V6. I like it very well, and it's in good condition with no rust, which is rare in Southern Ohio. It calls for premium fuel, so that's what I use even though it's $1 more per gallon at my local station. From previous experience, I know it will get better mileage with the premium, but I haven't had it long enough to check the actual difference. I use the same fuel from the same pump when I fill up to eliminate any discrepancies I may have concerning the fuel source. I plan to go through the preventive maintenance I think it needs, and I'll check the mileage afterward. My question is obvious though, what are the pros and cons of (Shell) regular vs. premium, and is there a significant detriment to using the $1 per gallon cheaper fuel in this vehicle and many others? Thanks for all you do to support your community. TJ Meyer

Scotty, most of us know that the GM automatic trannies are pretty much garbage. Every time I get in my 2017 Buick Lacrosse that fact comes to mind. My question; does anyone know of a way to bulletproof the things? Surely there’s a shop somewhere that has figured out the weaknesses and can fix them, right?

They ship oil from overseas instead of using Keystone pipeline & our own resources….recall what was happening 4 yrs ago ($1.85/gallon).
