Who really determines the price consumers pay at the gas pump?
Jay Young, Founder and CEO of King Operating Corporation and author of The Upside of Oil and Gas Investing, joins News/Talk 760 WJR in Detroit to discuss gasoline prices, oil-company profits and allegations of price gouging during a period of geopolitical uncertainty.
Jay explains how supply and demand, crude-oil prices, refining costs, transportation and competition among gas stations can affect retail gasoline prices. He also discusses why higher commodity prices may generate stronger profits for oil and gas companies, while emphasizing the significant capital required to drill, complete, transport and produce oil and natural gas.
The conversation also examines the political pressure surrounding gasoline prices and why prices at the pump often become a major issue during election cycles.
Topics discussed:
• Who sets gasoline prices
• Supply and demand in energy markets
• Oil-company profits and price-gouging claims
• The difference between oil producers and gas stations
• Capital investment in oil and gas production
• How geopolitical events can affect oil prices
• The politics surrounding prices at the pump
