In ‘21 & gas prices higher, I couldn’t afford to see any FB Games..


Feb 22, 2022, 11:24 PM

and with gas up a $1+ more a gallon in ‘22, it’s virtually a done deal I will miss a 2nd straight year of seeing the Tigers play.

At 80 years of age and wanting & needing to use my only vehicle, an ole 1997 GMC 17’ Camper Van to sleep in and save on lodging and gets only 9mph) so to enjoy my love for Clemson football, maybe two games a year, doesn’t sound like asking a lot but each round trip is 500 miles and that’s a lot of petro for a social security bum.

Difficult to remember the 50 years that allowed me to afford to go to every home & away game plus maybe 15 bowls..plus have 4 reserved seats & block of tickets.. and buy 5 memory brick pavers in DV stadium and have my name on a plaque on the outside wall for donating to an upper deck.

Geez, what enjoyable years!!

Sad that politicians have to meddle into matters that are going smoothly for average Americans (like cheap gas) and cause undo suffering & hardship.

Asking, do we really need them? I do need Clemson Football & continuing to make great memories!

PS: Was thinking about putting up a GoFundMe request but figured Trudeau would take the $ and put my donors in jail. LoL

But the sad part is it's predicted to go higher. Not to mention if you want to eat meat or anything else at tailgating. The price of groceries have gotten outrageous. Rediculous. Because the grocery prices are going higher than they are now because of the gas.

LBB, I share your concerns of rising gas prices and I do remember the days of a Saturday in death Valley being more simple and more affordable.

But I got to ask, what did politicians do to meddle into gas prices?

Just curious.

And just a heads up, don’t bother mentioning keystone pipeline. That volume is approximately 1% of global supply. That oil has been coming out of the ground and will continue to come to market, it will just travel via rail for the most part and not the pipeline.

Biden has been talking about helping Americans with gas prices, but he knows he can’t. Unless your looking for substantial government intervention and meddling, politicians don’t have a big impact on gas prices. Look to decisions made by OPEC and non OPEC instead.

Problem is Big House and I guess you are thinking it’s just bad luck that prices increased just weeks after Trump’s departure. Shale companies in the US need to get back to pre Biden productions and minimize OPEC. Do not need the Saudis controlling our gas prices. Biden instead of asking the Shale companies in the US to up production we are asking OPEC. How is that working out for us? Yes you are correct we do need to worry with their policies if we are not going to produce it ourselves. Who makes the decision on energy policies? Just blame Trump and the small minority of those that went to the Capital we all know it was their fault and it justifies all of our current issues.

Big House, we were oil independent when Trump was in the WH. We were actually exporting oil. The Keystone Pipeline was one way to get oil from shale in Canada and do it cheaply. Also, Biden signed an executive order to stop drilling on federal lands. Also, pressure has put on banks not to lend money for large drilling operations. The USA is now importing between 12 and 26 million barrels of oil every month from Russia. The facts are that gas was cheaper under Trump and are more expensive under Biden, these are the facts, and they are not in dispute!

I can't say it is the politicians- because I am not sure that is what our current President is-
He has locked down drilling by refusing to sale new gas leases- although the high courts have told him that he can not do that- he continues to do so. A lot of what is being pumped in the Gulf of mexico is being pumped by other countries.

Our power as free countries is to ostracize and not reward authoritarian regimes. The western world should never have opened up to China until they fundamentally changed.

Right after World War II, the US should have put Russia in its place. We had the power to do so. Allowing them to amass all that territory and create the USSR was a huge mistake. Reagan finally pushed them over the edge and got a lot of it rectified.

Now the western world is repeating that same mistake with both Russia and China. This time, we better not put Americans on the ground to stop the genocide that our economic and trade policies enable.

But I expect the fuel cost was already a lot on the pocketbook even at $1.50/gallon. Now it is $3.50/gallon so the total cost is $219. That is 2 tickets to the game in fuel cost. A hotel costs that much too, so not driving a camper to the game doesn’t help on the cost front either.

This is the collateral damage that goes unsaid or unaccounted for when inflation is allowed to go up due to stupid, misguided, control freak policies.

Politicians may not directly set gas prices, but the decisions they make and the effects of those decision do.

I live about 20 miles from the stadium, you can just park your van out front. I will expect you to collect eggs from the chickens and fetch water from the well occasionally, but other than that you can stay on the property. YOU MUST HAVE DRUGS.

I blame Bill Barr. He could have stopped all this crap from happening if he had just had the gonads to tell us the truth (which we all already knew) about Biden. Instead he did nothing and let these totally corrupt immoral crooks steal the election and now they can and will do anything they want to with no accountability to anyone. Now they are well into their plan and goal they had all along to “destroy America from inside out”. Our biggest threat right now to America and our freedom as country is not Russia or China but these liberal thugs who are in total control of our government and are doing everything they can possibly do to destroy this nation!

I get it Bill. I dropped my 22 year IPTAY
Membership and 4 season tickets years ago when we left Mt. Pleasant for Florida. The 9+ hour trip to Clemson on game days was no longer enjoyable and very expensive with gas, hotels, food etc..
Having relocated now to NC, I miss having my great tickets and assigned parking but priorities have changed. Many of my friends who we parked and tailgated with over the years have also
stopped going.
Traveling to away games, bowls not to mention the playoffs, Nat. Champ. games are no longer feasible. I still support my Tigers. I will however get to see them play at Wake this year…. 25 minutes from my house.
Go Tigers!!!

If you’re blaming high gas prices on Biden, Trump or any US politician, you are failing to acknowledge there are hundreds if not thousands of variables that drive global oil prices and the US government has no control over a large majority of those variables.

If you want to talk about Driilin Joe, you might be curious to learn that the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, many more than the Trump administration’s first-year total of 2,658.

It’s nice to expand drilling and production in the US. But keep in mind these are just drilling permits, there’s a time lag between drilling permit and oil at the pump.

And any volume we achieve by expanded drilling in the US is not gonna have as big of an impact as the supply demand discussions between Saudi Arabia, Russia and other OPEC and non-OPEC members. It’s that supply and demand tug of war tween those countries that has the biggest impact on global oil prices. Period.

With that said, these other countries are holding the cards and we are not (with respect to supply and demand). So we need to continue to remove our dependence on other countries. .

Yes drill more and pursue an “all of the above” portfolio of new energy sources. Putin is prompting everybody to pick up the pace in these efforts. Who wants to depend on him for natural gas for the next 40 years?

One of Putin‘s current objectives is to drive oil and gas prices up. He’s done this well.

Since couple posters were incorrect about my rv mpg, etc..


Feb 23, 2022, 1:34 PM

wanted to clarify that I get 9mph (not 15 as they mentioned so wrong about it just costing $35 more).

500 miles round trip and gas being a Dollar+ more than last year’s cost is more than $35 more..and last year I couldn’t afford to attend any games either with those “lower” gas prices.

Plus, I stay in back of a local bank parking lot, with permission, thus no lodging cost..and I don’t always buy a ticket but watch game from outer hill area..and if I buy a ticket I wait til start of game and many times find one dirt cheap or couple times free.

Glad those insensitive posters aren’t in Congress or Canadian Parliament since they’d fit right in.

if you are driving 9 MPH then I doubt you are getting very good mileage.

But if LBB drives downhill he can get better mileage, all ya gotta do is drive downhill both ways. It’s pretty simple folks.

If you actually think a sitting President's administration, via domestic/foreign policy and executive orders, cannot materially affect energy prices...then I've got nothing for you. The facts are well-documented and indisputable from one administration to the next.

Feb 23, 2022, 8:09 PM

OK let’s hear it.

Sure, the executive branch and the legislative branch can have an impact on oil prices, but no where near the impact that OPEC and non-OPEC members have when they sit down and discuss production levels, supply and demand.

Biden knows he has little if any impact on gas prices, but just for political points he’s barking about trying to help lower gas prices. He knows he can have very little impact, but he also knows that there are a lot of stupid people that think he can have an impact, so he’s happy to spin nonsense to them.

Like I said, let’s hear it. Let’s hear how the current administration is going to lower gas prices. Can’t wait to hear your laundry list of big government intervention, that Biden is not dumb enough to pursue.

Or if you can’t come up with a nice big government interventionist plan for Biden to deploy in pursuit of lowering gas prices, how about you take a stab at answering my prior questions.

1)Tell me how Biden caused gas prices to go up.

2) Tell me how Trump caused gas prices to go down.

To the liberals on this board. If you believe socialism is the way to go that's your opinion. Don't come on here making excuses and spreading lies about gas prices. Yes in the past politicians had very little control over gas prices. Trump fixed that by making us energy independent. It's just the facts. Biden shut down everything that Trump did to make it happen. Go do what you do best, kill babies, defund the police, support men turning into women and competing in sports, stealing elections, CRT, WOKE, Antifia and BLM, burn and loot, hate Whites and Jews and Asians. Just a short list, not counting how you hate Capitalism because most of you can't get ahead in life.
