Sticker Shock… Brace Yourself for $5 Gas and $100 Oil

I won't argue about $ 100.00 oil. But gas o line will be a hell of a lot more than $ 5.00 a gallon. With a corresponding increase of groceries and clothing. Along with an in kind increase in heating fuel and electricity. Accompanied by shortages in meat products and house hold goods such toilet tissue. Probably around 200%. As it should be. That is what the people who voted for. They could not wait to get President Trump out Office and Joe Biden in Office. Person after person that I spoke with at Wal Marts and other places informed me that they had sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and other relatives who voted for Biden. One informed me that he did not believe that people voted for Biden as much as they voted against Trump. My Preacher said that a lot of his fellow Preachers told him they voted for Biden.

Probably for the first time in history, the People got what they voted for. And the best part is that it is not over. In fact, it hasn't even begun. The People of the United States will feel a close kinship whit the people of Venezuela. Who like them, voted themselves into the mess they are in. With two exceptions. 1 [one] The people of Venezuela had the intelligence to catch and prepare the rat for eating. The People of the United States do not. They cannot breathe without a Government Program telling them how to breathe. They know know a hell of a lot about diversity and who is a racists. How that tastes when you eat it, they are about to find out. Hopefully this will be a long cold Winter. Followed by an equally long hot Summer. They have been earned.

Yep. Can you say "Infrastructure Scamination"? Imagine a little city like Appleton Wisconsin when 20,000 cars need to plug in to chargers drawing 5KW/Hr when they come home from a day at work and it's-20F? Or Atlanta Georgia when it's August and 102F?

It ain't gonna happen.

You want a new spouse? Just define gender and I’m yours!

$4.19⁹ in the North Valleys exurbs.

Bring it on ! Just in time for the mid terms !

Democrats buy gas too. Maybe enough of them will wake the heck up.

Gold is less than $8/oz. away from the last highs of $1,800.00/oz.+ Mama Like. So, yeah, there’s an up-side to Dementia Joe and his Merry Cabal. ;)

Had my first $50 fill up in a 4-cylinder Ford Escape last week. I SO need a new car, but I’m sure not buying one now.

Come on, Girl! One more winter...you can make it one more winter!

Taxes on gasoline

I see them at the entrance of the local Walmart and the I77 ramp to Fort Jackson’s gate.

Predictable as the sun.

Since I am recuperating from a pair of lung clots, no driving for a while.

Nowhere to really go.

Even Trump was ALL IN for burning ethanol as a vehicular fuel. Sick IMHO.

What nobody is talking about is diesel prices and parts. When those trucks stop running kiss it all goodbye.

[Fresh Wind]

The stuff I use is up $0.20 in the last week.

Let’s go Brandon!

How many acres is that based upon?

We have people with large farms in our area getting $60-70k per month. Must be nice. We have a small farm under lease but no royalties yet but we did get up front money of 5500.00 per acre. I love these high prices as they may finally pump on our grid

A farmer friend of mine is making do much he buys 1-2 brand new tractors every year + equipment purchases just to burn through the money instead of paying taxes

3.55 or 3.60 for 87 octane in eastern WA but I drive only 5 miles in a normal day.

But I also have a performance summer car that loves 92 octane E10 with 1.5 gallons of E85 mixed in. Without the E85 it gets 33 MPG on the highway; haven’t recorded mileage with (economy isn’t the point, then!).

[hoagy62]

Doordash driver here. $3.55 at the Costco near where I live. And that’s the cheapest anywhere around here.

Break even? Depends on the day.

That his actions caused. Worst President Ever. #jimmybiden

Biden’s gas lines will form again.
