Looks like Georgia and Oklahoma have the best prices. Alabama could, too, if it weren’t for MeMaw’s gas tax.

I started calling the people I’ve seen driving their RV’s or pulling their boats rich folks. They must be rich to be able to afford to fill those things up.

When I was a kid back during the 70’s gas shortage, my dad had a big motorhome and we found a bumper sticker at a truck stop that read ‘eat more beans, we need the gas’. So of course, we bought it and put it on the bumper.

“there will be no second term.”

The cheating is baked in now. Not only will he get a second term I predict even more “votes.” And if I am wrong. It doesn’t matter much anyway. The bureaucracy is running the show no matter who is elected.

I figure just about the time we go headlong into an EV centric society, then the envirowhackos will start protesting that.

Afterall, their movement is really about de-growth of the human population.

Someone did at my expense last month.

400 bucks in fuel on a card that was skimmed about a month before. Bought in Pennsylvania. I’ve never been and don’t know anyone there.

The fraud squad caught and alerted me. New card and new number.

I had maybe used the card two or three times physically since late January.

Gas stations by me were those places it was ran through a reader.

I pay cash now.

If we get into a hot war we are likely to run out fuel.

That will be Joes’ plan about midway through next year. He and the Dems know they are toast so they will throw everything they have left at one last chance to destroy this country once and for all

Lots can happen in a couple more years for any individual in
his age range. I personally don’t think he will be the demos
candidate on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. One term and done.

"“We believe the oil market needs to price to demand destruction, which will drive the least elastic prices, such as those for distillate, higher,”

That is the money quote from the GS analyst.

"Demand destruction" in a term-of-art meaning to purposefully price gouge consumers out of the market, which is now the expectation institutional stock holders have for all petroleum based energy companies.

In other words, the ESG types who run Wall Street are forcing our economy off of "fossil fuels" by downgrading stocks and denying capital.

The Democrats still think it will stop people from driving and not make them VERY MAD

Yes, my long suffering XOM investments are blossoming this year. Thanks, Brandon.

Just skip on down to the lectric car store and pick yourself up an EV. Everyone’s getting them.

Stop strangling production of oil and gas and refining with regulations.

This is a feature, not a bug, for the elite as they try to force a "green" economy on America and force Americans back into crowded, Dem-controlled cities.
