 @Whoyouwishyouwere How about you take a look at reality. Their 2022 profits are 3x that of 2019. They raised prices purely for more profit.

 @Whoyouwishyouwere You literally saw how low they could sell gas for, and still make a profit, during COVID. They've basically doubled the price, for profit.

@Whoyouwishyouwere A few cents? The big oil companies make most of their money on the oil side, ffs. They've jacked the price of a barrel by $20, since 2019. The US, and Canada for that matter, are both net oil exporters. Neither has to meet the global market price, if they don't want to, to supply inside the two countries. Whatever the f*ck Russia or Saudi is doing, doesn't affect supply, so shouldn't affect in country prices, but they act like it does anyway, and blame what's going on elsewhere in the world, for the price increase, as if it just magically makes their prices go up, and wasn't them intentionally raising their prices. They didn't need the extra $20 a barrel. They just did it ... to increase profits.

@Whoyouwishyouwere Major oil exporters tend to keep gas prices low in their own countries, dimwit. In the US and Canada, they have citizens compete with the rest of the world, for their own resources.

@a.a9021 TheDipshitLord also contradicted himself, defending "bidding" prices up. Get as much as anyone, anywhere, is willing to pay. Match the global going price. Quite the opposite of lowering prices.
