Oil and Gasoline Prices -- updated

Information from: https://tradingeconomics.com

Oil price for the last 5 years

======================================================

Gasoline Price over the last 5 years:


The price of oil has come down 23 dollars / barrel.

The price of gasoline has come down 36 cents / gallon.


Perhaps much more impressive is that from the depths of the pandemic semi-depression, the prices skyrocketed far beyond recovering their pre-pandemic values -- beginning long before the November 2020 presidential election or the January 2021 swearing-in of the new president, Joe Biden.



3/15/22 Here is the new oil price graph:

 

 

It is sharply dropping from $102.12 down to $95.39 in only a few days. That's a $24.61 drop from its peak. Will it drop to other previous levels like $80 of 11/2021 ?
