backstory is that i try to fill up my tank more when gas prices are at a low and less as prices go up to make my long term average cost per gallon lower.
now given current events, and empirical reality, gas has only been going up and will continue to go up. we could assume different curves(only constraint being that price per gallon goes up as time goes forward), but if you buy your gas now you will spend less money then you have if you bought it tomorrow, day after, or week down the road. my estimate is that it will be month minimum before it gets cheaper.
now that I have put this out there into the world you should fill up asap, I already filled up before making this post and other people will come up with this idea independently of me.
But for God sake, don’t buy a slightly smaller more fuel efficient vehicle.
You morons go through this every 4-5 years and as soon as gas prices go back down you’re back to the V8 Cayoneros.
Okay you get a smaller car and your going to wait to buy gas when it’s more expensive?
You didn’t address a single thing I said
What is there to address??
“gas went up for a couple weeks and i think that means it will go up forever”
Great post where do i even begin
Best way to predict future treads is to look at past ones. Plus you can look at the Trump’s war and how that’s going. Gas is gonna be going up for weeks to come
Sure probably will for a few weeks, until it goes back down and nobody knows when. Could even go down while the war continues because the economy crashes and demand craters, which is somethin economists are actively studying. It’s quite possible the high oil prices cause a recession that lowers the price of gas sooner than we would expect.
Or it pleataues for months and people wish they got gas now aka follow my advice. Plus everyone keeps saying the economy will crash and it technically has in the way they described, but economy ends up correcting itself and mitigating the crash so it’s not as bad as they claim it would be.
Trump’s Tarrifs fuck things up and hurt the economy just not cause a serious recession
I mean i need to buy gas once a week, i guess yeah if you only get gas every few months then yes you’re right fill it up now.
Based on past trends, I predict oil price will go either up or down in the future.
That has to be another countries gas prices simple because j instead of y and the numbers on the left don’t reflect USD prices unless it’s a price per barrel
It’s the price of crude oil on the global market.
Gas price directly depends on it, barring government intervention and taxation.
Speak for yourself. My car is 10 years old. And its an i4 turbo.
