With that fire at the gas refinery in Texas a couple of weeks ago sent gas prices jumping around here 20 cents or so, this will send it over $3.00 bucks again before long. First shot fired in the Gulf will send oil prices up so high we will need loans to buy gas. That is all the oil people are waiting for to slam prices back up to near $4.00 around here in Alabama. I know other states are in worse shape than us.
In Northern Nevada we are at $3.65 and have been since the fire. I expect closer to $4 for the Summer driving season.
I blew one knee out at Ft. Leonard Wood over 30 years ago and stayed for another 7 years of training (6 for enlistment term and another to try out a REMF unit). Another knee in MOUT training a year or two after the first one and kept on humping. Refused disability benefits for those LOD injuries to this day. I’d be happy to scoot, moaning and groaning, into a little rice burner car and pay 6 bucks a gallon for my last few years to see Iran turned into a nice vacation place.
