Oil and Gas

Where does America stand in the new geopolitics of oil?

Regular unleaded petrol is seen priced at $3.79 per gallon ($1 per litre) at a 76 gas station in Los Angeles, California February 4, 2016. A dramatic drop in oil prices, driven down by a glut in supply, is translating into a mixed bag for motorists. All countries have access to the same oil prices on international markets, but retail prices vary wildly, largely because of taxes and subsidies.
