Gas Prices...

[Canon Shooter]

Ah, So you lied by omission. That's cool, conservatives do it all the time.

Obviously she should shop around.

Lied?

Fuck you, I didn't lie. I said those are prices near her, and they are...

I think the purpose of this thread is to brag that he drives a Mercedes.
Why else would it be relevant to a thread about high gas prices?

Yeah, let me brag about driving an almost eight year old car.

Dummy.

No, if I wanted to brag, I'd have posted this:

 

[Confederate Soldier]

Last year here has was $ 1.89 gal
Now it is $ 3.19 gal.

In 2018/2019, Gas was $1.70 a gallon here in my part of Kentucky on average. In 2020 it was $1.19. I didn't use 2020 as a reference because of the pandemic and all, but I'm pissed at gas prices now. I'll be moving to Pennsylvania later this year and gas prices are insane up there. It's steadily moving past $3.10 a gallon.

What does your ride have to do with the price of gas?

What does your ride have to do with the price of gas?

Because I buy premium gas for it.

The inevitable question after that is "Why do you buy premium gas when regular is so much cheaper?"

I'm just cuttin' to the chase, that's all...

It's mostly inflation from all of those spending bills that will cost you zero dollars.

Considering what it has to go through to become gas, we should be thankful it doesn’t cost a whole lot more than it does.

Gone through? All gasoline has really gone through is heating the parent crude oil enough so that the various fractions of it can be separated off at various boiling points.

 

[Moonglow]

$2.66 a gallon in Neosho, Mo.

Yep. I just had to ship a big crate 2/3rds of the way across the country and Biddum's gas prices sure took a bite out of my wallet!

 

[toobfreak]

A Democrat's wet-dream is $10 gas.

Absolutely. Just as with guns, they hope to price the cost of operating an auto so high that you are forced to buy an EV.

Valid point, RW. In a 156 word OP, 145 words of it were just about himself, his family and his car complete with pictures we didn't need to see, and the other remaining ten words were actually about the topic of actual gas prices--- a question he could have answered for himself by simply looking them up on the web in a place like TH's AAA website!

Or run a poll here.

The more interesting question to me would be how gas prices here compare to other parts of the world.

And the USA is fairly in the middle of the road now with all the socialist EU countries libs like to brag about being among the highest and Hong Kong being around $10 a gallon.

I wonder where we were a year ago when Trump was in office?

I always run premium gas through it and, at the moment, that's costing me anywhere between $2.89 and $3.19 a gallon, depending on where in northeaster Florida I'm buying it. Last night, I paid $3.09 a gallon, and I started thinking about how, seemingly not too long ago, I could find it around $2.19 a gallon.

Then my daughter, who lives in Seattle, sent me this photo, showing what gas prices are near her:

The last time I recall prices that high it was over ten years ago, when regular was creeping up into the $4.50 range in San Diego, California.

Back in April I drove from Florida to Boston to Seattle to Boston to Florida, and prices for gas seemed to average around $2.69 a gallon for regular.

What are you dealing with as far as gas prices go?

3.15 where I am at. One county north 2.89. Not sure why the difference for small distance. I spend most of summers in a tourist trap gas is always higher there during tourist season. Tourist season over now when I go back for week end in the 2.65 range.

the goal is to curb consumption.
it's criminal.

2.89 for regular unleaded here, 3.29 for 91 octane and $3.69 for no ethanol added gas

Ethanol is a trick under the Obama Adm to raise the costs of feed corn....to raise the cost of meat.
30% of all feed corn goes into producing Ethanol.
This caused the price of meat to double.
The rising costs of gas has caused the price of food to skyrocket.
This is what build back better means.

yes, as far as disposable income, Obama is the absolute worse President in my lifetime

This and their New Green Deal will freeze us out.
If they get their way...everyone will be forced to drive electric cars and give up their HVAC.
Then they'll cause food shortages...and come Winter....freeze us to death while they're sipping wine on some tropical Island.
Maybe Obama's beach front in Oahu will be done by then.

I hate to do it, but I would switch to hydrogen or methanol before going electric, I drive way more than 350 miles per day sometimes

Yep....both of those will run a heater pretty well.
Imagine the lines at charging stations if everyone switches to electric.
