Maybe more. How high do you think it will go? I'm thinking $12to $15 a gallon in a month.

(25,687 posts)Even $5/gallon will have the American public howling for vengeance upon various OPEC nations. Over $10 and they'll start blaming shitty policies from F47 and the GOP, which would lead to, among other things, a widening margin of Democratic resurgence, which is unacceptable to them. So I'm thinking Congress forces through a loss-compensation package for the oil & gas companies to keep the retail prices below $10 as long as possible. $5-$10 works to their advantage. Over $10 does not. IMHO.

(9,873 posts)Thats why people sit reading their phones with their engines idling, make long commutes alone to work and back, and buy enormous pickup trucks and SUVs.
Until these things change, we know that gasoline is still not expensive.

(19,491 posts)If anything they will up production to offset Iran, but it might not be needed because they sell almost all of their oil to China.

(28,712 posts)While OPEC does have enough capacity to entirely replace Irans production much of that has to ride tankers through a choke point that Iran can threaten even in their weakened state.
