Folks in Venezuela, Iran, Kuwait etc pay only pennies a gallon because
their countries produce more oil than they can use themselves.
The nations that have the higher gasoline prices are those that im****t
a lot, sometimes all of their oil. If the US didn't produce 40% of
it's own oil you'd have seen $4 a gallon gas a long while back.
The US enjoyed cheap gas for decades because it was a major producer
of oil for a long time. We pumped more than we could use and sold the
excess for years. Now we are a major consumer as opposed to producer
therefore we are at the mercy of the world market. Plain and simple.
When you stop making something yourself and begin to buy it from
someone else then your stuck with whatever they want to charge you for
it.
If you think the domestic supply has nothing to do with the domestic
price of gasoline you aren't too bright yourself.
