These damn gas prices are hurting my wallet.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I am spending in excess of 800.00 per month on this shit. I know prices usually spike right before summer but these prices are absurd.

What is the reason?

 

[Mr Natural]

You must do a lot of driving.

I do.
My last 2 contracted jobs were an hour and a half out of the city. The next is a 3 week job also an hour away.

Shit is aggravating

Summer vacations. Happens every year. Here prices went up 6 cents overnight. Memorial Day weekend.

Crude prices have been on a slow climb as the oil glut of 2015-2017 is being used up. When prices were lower some fracking/enhanced oil recovery wells were no longer profitable so they shut down.

Those wells should be coming back online as prices go up and should balance out the market.

Also as stated above the summer blend thing plus the beginning of driving season all drive prices up.

It's a tax deductible business expense.

It's a tax deductible business expense.

It is. It is also a major pain in the ass.
The last time fuel was super high my deductions were so high I was audited.

Now that really sucks. Save every last fucking receipt to show and tell the IRS to f off.

Gas prices ALWAYS go up in the summertime. That is the time when people are doing their most traveling, so of course, they are going to raise the prices at the pumps!

See this is where you can tell when people are paying attention.

Prices are not this high because of summer.

Gas prices climb to four-year high in time for Memorial Day weekend

These same outlets say these same things EVERY summer though! Then the prices go down, then they go up and everybody complains again. We see this same thing year after year after year.

 

[ChrisL]

In many European countries, they pay more than DOUBLE what we pay at the pump. Keep that shit in mind when you are bitching.

When you use as much fuel as I do you know when prices are absurdly high. I have to fill up 3 to 4 times a week. Last week we had a TWENTY CENT JUMP in one fucking day.

You may not notice if you dont fuel a lot but I do

I know. But the last 20 cents is thanks to summer.
I don't know why oil is up, generally, except that somehow or other we always get screwed.
