I did once. Someone syphoned the gas out of my truck and I was hoping I still had just enough to get 4 miles down the road to the gas station as I didn't have a gas can with me. I got within a half mile so walked the rest of the way, Luckily the owner of the station knew me and loaned me a gas can.

Upon landing in Bend from the MidWest and heading to the coast, I figured I would fill up at the "next highway exit". I started to worry, and on fumes stopped at HooDoo to ask for help (no gps). The lone worker said, "Where are you from?" and kindly filled my tank with gas in the maintenance shed!

In the early 70's the price of fuel was not the only issue. There was not enough.fuel. Stations closed at 6:00 pm. It would not surprise me to see shortages again.

NO and we MUST be oil independent, Brandon has done extremely serious damage to this country!!! American oil, not Russian oil or anywhere else. Brandon is begging for foreign oil and getting refused. So its OK to beg for overseas oil but not produce American oil, that is insane !

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.
we should open most everything and the pipeline.... Sure tired of people jacking up prices on us little guys. and want us to donate at the same time. If Biden wants GREEN then provide it to use and we will use the CHEAPEST!!! Its not rocket science.

Yes but this is just the beginning Drill Pump stop all taxing and restrictions set up by government what do we need reserves for if we are not going to actually help in Ukraine

This is just ludicrous. We have the largest oil fields in the world, yet since Biden took over, we are now again dependent on world oil prices instead of our own. We wouldn't have to touch our reserves and still have cheap gas and oil. But Forrest Gump said it best " stupid is what stupid does!"

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Perhaps this is the plan. Raise the price of gas so they can justify using our reserves and leave us at the mercy of our enemies.
Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN
Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

There is not enough in storage to make a difference in the supply but for a few days. It is more of a political gesture than problem solving measure.

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Our enemies would love to see us use our reserves. They are there to be used in case of war. Our current government is working for the globalists not for you and I.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

This is not a emergency! It's a idiot in office fault.... and was ELECTED. But Not by me.
Reply
No, that is absurd and would NOT help! We need to undo everything Brandon did his first day in office declaring war on big oil! We need oil Independence for the security of this nation! Brandons horrible weakness has weakened the U S and hurt the whole world, emboldening Putin.

Using those reserves is virtue signaling. The amount they released last time didn't make a dent in the cost. Those reserves are for military use. If this admin hadn't screwed it up we would still be energy independent like we were with the previous admin. We wouldn't be having the conversation.
