油价渐跌 全民呼唤

随着美国油价逐渐下跌， 美国国内正掀起一致之抵制热潮， 呼吁驾车者减少开车， 能把消耗量减少能把油价继续下降。

由于许多人之响应 ，目前油价价已经从五元降至每加崙四元八分。

油价上涨之主要原因是由于夏天来到需求量大增，加上俄鸟战事带来供应减少所致。

為了输困价格， 拜登总统已命令每天释放一百万加崙之战时储存石油， 同时呼吁国会终止徵收石油税， 但是到目前為止尚未得到国会之同意， 否则每加崙可以為大家省上二十分之多。

根据AAA协会表示 ，目前全国油价最高在加州 ，每加崙六点二四美元， 其次是夏威夷五点六二美元 ，内华达州是五点五一美元。

老实说， 油价之高涨实在是所有物价上升之罪魁祸首， 它带动了交通、 人工及所有之价格上涨，值此人人有赖汽车代步之时代 ，增加了所有人之负担。

我们看见中央银行正以提高利率来抑制通货膨胀， 但是确增加了経济衰退之危险 ，两者拿揑不当 ，后果不堪设想。

疫情战争带来之冲击是首要原因， 我们真不愿看到世界局势之动乱不安， 民生困苦到处可见， 看来世界和平及繁荣真是奢求之事了。

Gas Prices Slide Across The Nation

Some users on social media have called for a national boycott over the rising gas prices. As oil prices are gradually falling, protestors called on all the people to boycott and hopefully bring down the price of gas even more. Since a video was posted online, the price of gasoline has steadily come down. This week the price has come down to $4.80 per gallon from $5.01.

According to the AAA, on Tuesday, California has the most expensive oil price nationally at $6.24, followed by Hawaii at $5.62 and Nevada at $5.51.

The surging prices have been largely attributed to limited production in the U.S. and at foreign refineries this summer as well as being impacted by the war in Ukraine.

President Biden has taken steps to order the release of an extra one million barrels of oil per day from the national strategic petroleum reserve. He also called on Congress to suspend the gas tax which would save drivers almost 20 cents per gallon, but Congress has not yet moved to suspend the gas tax.

To be honest, the rise in oil prices is really just the administration’s excuse because price increases are across the board and everything has been driven up.

We have seen that the Federal Reserve Bank is raising the interest rate to curb inflation, but it does not increase the risk of an economic recession.

The impact of Covid -19 and the war in Ukraine are the primary reasons for price increases and economic instability. We really don’t want to see turmoil in the world, but it seems that world peace and prosperity are really only luxuries that for now are out of reach.
