Listen "How Costs, Capacity, and Caution Move the Price at the Gas Pump"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we also clarify why oil prices are rebounding without falling into conspiracy theories. U.S. producers report break-even points near $65 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude remains below that level, leading to reduced new drilling and a pause in rig counts. Factors like OPEC and Saudi strategies, seasonal changes in gasoline blends, and replenishing the government reserve all influence the pump price you're seeing. It’s a tug-of-war between costs, capacity, and investor pressure, causing the sudden 40-cent swings you’re experiencing.
