supply and demand do not work instantaneously. the prices did go down in the depth of the pandemic, clown. but when we started coming out, the demand rebounded faster than supply, so prices went up, besides, oil companies like to make a lot of dough, using any excuse.
the gasoline supply did not come back fast enough because the supply of crude was reduced by shutting down keystone and gulf drilling permits. Refineries were idle because they could not get enough crude. Then when demand went up, the supply was not there so prices went up. you are confused. But you support senile joe so that is expected.
