Propane here was $2.299/gal in fall of 2020 and $2.799 last fall. I hate to think of what it’ll cost when we buy it this fall. Fortunately, we only burn 120-140 gallons a year.

RE: easy fix to inflation....

How long until Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren join with the Squad to demand wage and price controls? That is a sure loser that looks shiny and glittering to the masses.

I don’t know if I should tell you this or not. But Democrats hate America with a white hot passion. And want to completely and totally destroy it. And from the Actions of the voters, they do too. They replaced President Trump, an honest man who loved America in the election of 2020. With Lying Joe Biden, the biggest and liar and thief in the history of the World. A man who hates the guts of America and spends every second of the day trying to destroy it. And to add insult to injury, the voters elect Democrat after Democrat that hates America with an abiding hatred. This happens too often to be anything but a deliberate act.

1) The SPR is bottomless and oil can be removed forever

I heard yesterday there’s 22 days of oil left in the SPR. The draining of the SPR is a strategic blunder. It is a serious national security risk. Just a few moments of thought is required for our enemies to come up with an idea that would absolutely cripple America. By the way, what’s up with the 80+ illegal immigrants on the terrorist watch list up to. Mayorkas, that Castro plant, has no eff’n idea.

6 to 10 cents on a gallon might be their profit margins now, because they are protecting themselves against rapidly fluctuating prices. In normal times a gas station makes one to three cents on a gallon of gas.

At some point when people can’t afford to buy something the price naturally comes down.

The price is nothing more than a symptom of a larger illness.

So pedo joe turns loose 10 million gallons from the dwindling SPR. Let’s see, that’s like 5 days coverage for the opec cut back. And since folks here use approx 19 million/day............ Well, that math don’t add up.... 😵‍💫🤬⛽🤡

“Fact is gas stations make very little selling gas.”

The real money was always in services offered back in the old days when every gas station had 2+ mechanics working on cars every day.
Now the money is in the retail from the C-store items sold at ridiculous mark up. They only carry gas as an enticement to get you to stop by.

Host Andrea Mitchell asked, “Bottom line, can you do anything to bring down gas prices between now and the election a month from now?”

Mitchell is worried that high/increasing gas prices will impact Dems in the mid-terms.

They aren't even subtle about their agenda anymore.

The September inflation numbers should be out next week and they are going to be SHOCKING for the Dems.

“IIRC 6 to 10 cents on a gallon. Anyone? Bueller?”

You’re way too high.
There’s only one place local to me that makes 6¢/gallon. Everyone else is down to 3-4¢/gallon. Not much profit there.

Strike the gas stations with F-15s and nuclear weapons?

The left wants prices high. They will accept a decrease in order to win the election.

Remember the old Lenin saying? one step backward and two steps forward.
