BREAKING: Washington gas stations run out of gas, add extra digit in anticipation of $10 dollar prices

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.

Not to worry, the administration is thinking of easing sanctions on Venezuela to increase supply. Venezuela to the rescue!

I remember that on a family trip to Disneyworld in 1973 we stopped at a gas station and paid $0.279/gallon. At that point in time, Disney promoting homosexuality and transgenderism, or even gas over $1.00 was unimaginable.

Just look at us now. Not only Disney going full degenerate and gas prices nearly 20 times as high, but we cannot feed our babies, are letting in millions of illegals/year (and feeding THEIR babies), free speech is becoming a fond memory, and a digital currency combined with a social credit score is not far away. Welcome to Sodom & Gomorrah, with a heavy dose of Nazi Germany tossed in as a bonus.

Just in time for the “free and fair elections”.

Coincidence?

I thought it was the end of the world when gas went over $2.00 gal.

For DC, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving locale. Let them take the Metro and buses.... screw them.

How is that possible?

* Government cancelling leases
* Government hiking prices on leases
* Government banning new leases on federal lands
* Government forcing “ESG” onto corporate boards
* Government screaming incessantly “we are going to destroy fossil fuel companies”
* Government putting pressure on banks to not invest in fossil fuels
* Obama’s Secretary of Energy telling us to expect $10 gasoline — a DECADE ago!
* Universities not graduating petroleum engineers. Those who graduate probably have a 1.5 GPA. Kids going into “Studies” and “Intersectionality” and racism programs at the university instead of hard sciences and engineering.
* Every “green” organization in the USA falling in lockstep with the government actions
* Universities ending their endowment investments in fossil fuels.
* Government endlessly subsidizing “green” energy that doesn’t work

And on and on and on. I’m just touched the very tip of the iceberg there.

THAT is how government can make this happen.

I remember feeling ‘ripped off’ paying 41.9 for gas in the Adirondacks back in the 70’s...

“And those trucks aren’t EVs.”

It is not just trucks.
The container ship bringing all that crap from China runs on diesel fuel.
The locomotive pulling the train of stuff, runs on diesel fuel.
The Amazon delivery van runs on diesel or gasoline.
The airplane runs on petroleum based fuel.
The plastic bottle your spring water is in comes from petroleum or natural gas.
All the plastic components of your Tesla 3 EV are made from petroleum.
The polyester clothing you are wearing comes from petroleum.
The athletic shoes are a product derived from petroleum.

So, unless you are going to go and kill a deer, skin it, process the meat, jerk some of it, tan the hide to make your clothes and shoes you are going to NEED petroleum to survive.

The GOPe still controls the Rep congressional delegation, but it is being challenged. Trump and the America First movement will make further inroads in the 2022 elections. And 2024 will be an inflection point. No one is saying this will be easy. The Uniparty will fight to the death to preserve its power.

Exactly. America's domestic (political and economic) terrorists are destroying us. And the cretins that allowed it, liberals, are so embarrassed as to their stupidity, they refuse to admit they made a mistake.

Stolen elections have consequences.

I remember in the mid to late 1970s when gas went over $1, and some pumps had a sticker “1” in front of the price. Others were set to charge per the 1/2 gallon as a temporary measure.

Remind me again what gasoline prices were when we had to put up with mean tweets from Orange Man Bad?

One of our younger relatives is considered an expert in keeping gas engines working with maintenance and repair.

Earlier, he had predicted that Gas prices would go to and over $10/gallon for regular just before Thanksgiving and into Christmas shopping season.

He has moved his time estimates re $10/gallon to the week after the November elections.

Then, after this Christmas and into 2023, more increases.

Good point about the courts not reviewing cases of election irregularities. If I recall correctly, challenges in court after the 2020 election were dismissed due to lack of standing or due to other procedural issues, not because of the courts having reviewed any evidence.

So it does seem as if we cannot count on ever having Courts ever review election problems.

GOOD!

If prices hit $10/Gal. by November it will be the cheapest price America could possibly pay to ensure a sweeping victory for the return of our FREEDOM.

You don't have to love the GOP.

Just know that with Dems in charge we reach Hell much faster.
