A spokesperson at 76 confirmed to The Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double-digit pricing.

Gas stations across the US are running out of fuel and in anticipation of an increase in gas prices, gas stations in the state of Washington are reportedly reprogramming pumps to include double-digit numbers in "price per gallon" as the current trend could put prices over $10.00.

At the 76 Gas Station in Auburn, Washington located at 1725 Auburn Way North, gas pumps have been reprogrammed to make room for double-digit pricing. In March, they still had single-digit programming.

A Spokesperson at 76 confirmed to The Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double-digit pricing. Although not confirming that they are expecting prices to increase up to $10.00 or more, the current trend suggests the possibility.

The Left: Shuddup and transition to “let’s pretend” energy.

And gender. And crime. And immigration. And war in Ukraine. And...

They’ll need a lot more mules this time around to steal the congressional election, but not to worry. A half-million ‘migrants’ are arriving each month looking for jobs. Will the GOP be slumbering again as the Dems pull off another big steal?

“Insane.”

The Dems are cunning and committed, but not terribly intelligent. I speculate that the calculus is, they need to push the country to “renewable”, (inefficient and expensive), alternate energy sources. If they can damage the fossil fuel industry enough, perhaps they can make recovery impossible. Meanwhile, their donors will be pleased with the progress.

The losses in Nov. will be considered collateral damage, just like the losses after Obamacare. The media has their back, the Dems will recover.

I’m sure that the states will drop their gas taxes to help us common folk. You know, cutting back on their bennies.

I’m old enough to remember when a lot of stations had to add a column when it went over $1.00/gallon.

I think the Great Resetters would love a Zimbabwe style hyperinflation, where everything falls apart, general misery and chaos abounds, and people finally cry “uncle” and call for a worldly savior.

These people are as evil as evil can be. I’m not a big prophecy buff, but this has a distinct feeling of the last days.

I remember older pumps that could not go above $0.499/gal.

CT did eliminate the state gas tax—for now.

For the first time in memory folks do not have to sneak over the border to MA for lower gas prices.

The Democrats in the state house are bat&^%$ crazy, but still will listen if the peons howl loudly enough....

Ten gallons of gas for $100 ?

Twenty gallons of gas for $200 ?

The economy will totally collapse at that point.

“will crush the economy—for everyone”

Well that is GREAT! We will all be equal. Equally miserable.

That is exactly how these demoncRATS think.

> The impact of double digit gas prices will be totally devastating to all pieces of the economy—best case. <

Yep. And there are still naive idiots (mainly on the Left) who see this as a good thing. It will hasten the transition to electric vehicles!

What these dolts don’t realize is that:

1. Electricity prices will rise dramatically as more EVs hit the road.
2. Stuff folks really need (food, clothing, etc.) all comes by truck. And those trucks aren’t EVs.
