My fellow Patriots,
The continuing downward trend of the national average gas price has continued for seventy-eight days in a row as of August 31, 2022 and the different factors contributing to this decrease are coming together.
The month of August, yet again, proved to be an interesting month in terms of gas prices. August 1st saw the national average gas price at $4.212 per gallon and it continued to decrease, just like the month of July, the whole month until August 31st where it ended at $3.841 per gallon. At the beginning of the month, there was quicker rate of price decrease until around August 11th, where the rate of decrease slowed slightly and followed a similar downward trend through the rest of the month. As with all tracking of the gas prices, the data is from AAA.
Since June’s analysis of the gas prices, I have been spending the bulk of these monthly analyzes trying to figure out what is causing the national average gas price to decrease, especially since nothing this usurper administration has done is contributing towards the US increasing our oil drilling and production, which would cause crude oil and gas prices to decrease. June’s analysis talked about how fear of a recession was causing oil to be traded at a lower cost. July’s analysis focused on how Biden is allowing for E-15 (gasoline with 15% ethanol) to be sold throughout the summer and how some states have implemented gas tax holidays, which would contribute to the national average gas prices decreasing. As stated in July’s analysis, all three factors are contributing to the reduction in the price of gas.
There is another factor to add to that mix: Biden depleting the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserves to help alleviate the high gas prices. Back in March of 2022, Biden signed an executive order to release 180 million barrels of oil over the course of six months; this equates to one million barrels of oil being released daily. While this alone would not cause a major decrease in the price of oil, like America is seeing now, all four factors mentioned in this article would contribute to the price of gas decreasing for the nearly three months that this unprecedented decrease has been going on for.
There are major problems with using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to mitigate rising gas prices, namely that this reserve was created for wartime scenarios and extreme emergencies, not trying to put a bandage over the gun shot that one caused themselves. This usurper administration has been dead set since they stole the presidency to help advance The Great Reset by weakening America; economically, optically, and militarily. Destroying our energy independence helps weaken all three areas mentioned, but especially economically, since the price of oil and gas determines the price of all goods and services: from raw material to finished product.
Disclose.tv recently highlighted the state of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve on their Gab profile, and America is in a bad spot, as can been seen below:
If Biden keeps draining our petroleum reserve at the rate which he has been doing and if America gets into a war, the price of gas (and therefore all goods) will increase exponentially. Even if America does not get into a war, and the Strategic Petroleum Reserves are drained empty, the price of oil and therefore gas and goods will sharply increase. To make matters worse, when Biden stops releasing oil from the reserves the price of gas will increase quickly, because it is taking all the different factors that have been mentioned above, to cause this decrease in gas prices.
The reason that this decrease in the national average gas price is not sustainable long term is because it is an artificial decrease. Until the US ramps up domestic oil production to what it was during Donald Trump’s administration, any long term decrease in gas prices will be unsustainable and artificial. Who knows how much longer the national average gas price will continue to decrease, but what is certain is that this decrease will not bring prices back to what they were under Donald Trump and when prices begin to increase, whether before the 2022 midterms or right afterward, gas will most likely quickly reach prices higher than what the United States experienced during the first half of the month of June 2022.
