calculate the price, and then a reasonable profit margin on top of that. i don't wanna tune ito the "stock market of consumable goods" everytime my car runs out.
They were being facetious and pretending your average person could just buy gas the same way that oil barrel speculation works, almost like buying vouchers. It was a pretty good one so I don’t want them to have to explain the joke haha.
Actually, where I live there is (or at least was) a business that allowed you to buy something akin to "gasoline futures", basically you could just buy X liters of gas or diesel and then use them up overtime using a client card or something like that. Not too sure how it worked, forgot the name too.
Biggest producer, but it’s largely for internal demand if I’m not mistaken. Besides, if you restricted exports, it would raise prices even more for everyone else
Just had a Sneepo Bar from Egypt the other day and it is basically a snickers bar except like really, extremely fucking good (it's like actual nougat in there boys) and now all I want is more Sneepo.

Just stock up on gasoline futures when they're cheap, then trade them in at the pump when you need it. Then you never have to worry again!

The problem is that for most of the world, we’re kinda dependent on Saudi Arabia and Russia to do that
