Wake up and read the news stupid.

Correct. If it wasn't open, then ships wouldn't be able to sail through it, and ships ARE sailing through it, so it IS open.
The only thing stopping any given ship from sailing through it is fear.

The news is not a gas price, Tball.
I ask again: Where? You made a claim. Tell me where you find gas greater than 4$/gal.

That's why I asked him where.
Those States (and the SDTC) tax the hell out of a gallon of gasoline. This makes the price you pay considerably higher than the price of the gasoline.
For example, here in Washington, approximately $1.12 in taxes are levied on a gallon of gasoline (combining all taxes). In places like King and Snohomish counties, they add an additional $0.30, bring the total to $1.42/gal is just taxes. There are also steep taxes on required replacement of tanks, and taxes on the fuel trucks. This is why you see $6/gal gas instead of $3.50, for example.
Costco is cheaper, about $4.60/gal or so, because they buy large amounts of gasoline in bulk, so the cost of the taxes on the trucks is less.
In the SDTC, it's even worse. If you are in the Bay Area (San Francisco and environs) or the Los Angeles area, you can expect to pay even more for the damn taxes.
A hefty portion of these is the Climate Tax.
People act like drones are the be all end all of technology and Iran can have control of Hormuz forever.
Brits have the dragonfire for ships
Israel has Iron Beam for static defense
US has Bullfrog AFV and Super Tucano aircraft for offense
Ukraine has special shotguns for their soldiers
It just so happens that we are in the transition phase where drones are still ahead. These weapons are already in field testing. Were talking months not years before we see the first one deployed.
Its not like drones require a new tech solution. AA already exists we just need to make it faster and track better for swarms and develop laser tech.

This morning oil futures are up 10%, to $109/bbl. Get ready for $5/gallon, coming soon to a gas pump near you.

Good morning.
My last post was to one of the stupidest people on this forum . Into the night.
I don't know where he lives but he doesn't believe gas is over $4 a gallon.
I guess he doesn't get out of his mothers cellar very often.

it is open as a toll road being controlled by Iran and if you are a nation friendly with Iran or willing to pay the Oil Toll they are demanding they allow you pass thru.
That is new power and significant one Trump gave Iran that gives them more leverage over the world than they had prior to his war.

Bingo.
Yeah, that's just nuts. I'd hate to be paying that much in taxes for a gallon of gas. Here in Wisconsin, it's nowhere near that bad (we're "average" when it comes to gas taxes). Here, gas is taxed $0.513/gallon. This amount consists of the $0.184 federal tax, a $0.309 state excise tax, and a $0.02 petroleum inspection fee, so it's really only $0.329/gal in state taxes.
In my neck of the woods, Kwik Trip (incl. the particular local station that I use to track gas prices) is playing their stupid game atm in which they jack gas prices up for a few days just for the heck of it (which they then bring back down a number of days later), so that station is currently at $3.899/gallon, however, at the local Woodmans (and the local Costco), gas is currently $3.499/gallon, which is right in line with where gas prices were here ON AVERAGE during about 75% of the Autopen's illegitimate term.
Ugh.... completely NUTTERS they are.....

Okay, so basically about a dozen states, and most of those being on the west coast or in the northeast. IOW, the vast majority of states have prices that are LESS than $4/gallon.

^Too invested in "Orange Man Bad" to realize every president since Ford should have done this.
Know what's not happening, knucklehead? Gas lines and 1/2 tank rationing in America.
It IS happening in China, though. As a matter of fact, Iran attacked a tanker bound for China.

Yup, due to continued fear mongering (re: both the Strait of Hormuz AND re: TDS).
Where were you in 2022?

He's one of the smartest people on this forum. YOU are one of the stupidest.
That's not what he said, FlipTheBird... In fact, he even explained why gas prices are so much MORE than $4/gallon in Washington.
Even though the national average has now hit $4/gallon, gas is UNDER $4/gallon in the vast majority of states, including my state of Wisconsin.
I guess you don't think
I appreciate that info ..
