The gasoline price panic

For a person on a limited income who's juggling between the higher food prices and home energy costs, a jump in fuel prices can easily cause a panic situation.

I'm fortunate that I live 50 yards from where I work so I'm not affected much by the obscene fuel costs. But I know people who have to commute 45 minutes (one way) to get to work. If someone has to fill up a 20 gallon tank twice a week and the price of fuel is a $1.00 per gallon than it was last week, then they're paying an additional $40.00 more per week. That's an additional $160.00 per month (give or take). That's HUGE for folks who are trying to feed their families. I can see how many people would panic under those circumstances.

Low grade, regular gas in my area went from around $3.00 to $4.20 in short order. Diesel is at $5.40. I run a retail, industrial tool company. We deliver using a heavy, International box truck. I have no choice but to charge my customers a fuel surcharge just as my vendors are starting to charge me. And I only see things getting worse. About every, other day ... we hear that the "war has been won" while the very next day we hear that we're sending ground troops. So the lies are creating volatility in the markets. But people are starting to see through all the lies. And they have a right to "panic."

The limited income crocodile tears does not work. Roughly $1.25 per day more between fill ups is no financial burden except for lying losers on the dole who mismanage their lives and throw in TDS .
 
They disrupt by going off topic by design because then censors will relocate the thread to nowhere land like Badlands. It’s a mutually participatory preplanned dishonesty

Part of a prediction accuracy is timing . Lib loons had gasoline at $4-5 per gallon three weeks ago. Around DC it’s still 90% $3.59-3.89 with isolated $4.05.
Not in WA state. I filled up Thurs. and the cheapest--actually every place in town was $4.99--ID, 50 miles away is at the DC levels you quoted.

Yeah I searched WA state prices and did not find that nor near that in general

Okay ... it's official. You truly ARE a narrowminded dullard.

The rising fuel cost will elevate the costs of EVERYTHING. Please try to keep up. $1.25 X 20 gallon tank = $25.00. If a person has to fill up twice a week then it's $50.00. There are 4 weeks in a month. So that would come to $200.00 per month. Many young people fresh out of high school or young families who just had their second baby will notice that much of an increase.

Work more and post less and you might be able to afford the $1.25 per day increase which has you emotionally paralyzed

The Left are all Panicans. It's sad to watch ... all wetting their diapers over a temporary price hike due to serious conditions.
Can you imagine these wimps during WWII?
We never would have won.
 
Sure seemed to bother you when Biden was Prez huh?
Oddly it didn’t bother you when xiden got gas over five dollar a gallon as the national avg
 
"gAs iS oNLy $3 wHerE I LiVe"

Painfully stupid

Yes, you are. The Peanut gallery can find prices anywhere in the country, moron, so please, keep doubling down on whatever it is you idiots think is clever.

For instance:


Now, run along and sniff some butt at your mosque; it's 'prayer time', isn't it?
 
Right now.

Haha, then you double down on stupid.

Hey idiot... do you understand what the word "average", means? Let me help ypu:

For every lying idiot who says they paid $3.30, that means someone else paid $4.70.


Take all the time you need with that. Which, I imagine, might be quite some time.

Hey moron, less than half the states had $4 and over, you blathering gimp. The prices are higher in the high tax states, i.e. your shithole commie run cess pools. Rake all the time you need, you will still be a dumbass.

Can the U.S. Load All the Empty Super Tankers | Why Is an American Carrier Beating Around the BUSH?​

"In this episode we look at the fleet of Very Large Crude Carriers heading to the United States and whether the nation has the ability to handle all of them with the dual blockade of the Persian Gulf by Iran and the U.S. We also examine the decision to send the carrier USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) and its escorts around the Cape of Good Hope and why USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8) is such a valuable logistical asset for the US Navy and the Military Sealift Command. "
 
During COVID, people were not driving to work, shopping, vacationing…..the supply of gas shot up and Trump bragged about his low gas prices

Now his war is raising prices above $4 and Trump tells us we must make sacrificed


SHUP WingerStain. It is $4.99 out west. This is temporary. Outside events. Not like chowderheads Obiden policy causing it.

This too shall pass. Yawning.

But but we're importing a lot n stuff ... why are they coming here, then? We're going to run out any minute, cuz TRUMP!!!

The Brit and Norwegians aren't stepping up to fill the gap, they're in the '**** everybody else, we got ours' club. But it's bad when the US does it, apparently so we're supposed to pay higher prices or something. Screw that. Keep our prices bases on our real supply and demand, and tax the shit out of any exports.

The downside means:
1. That adds months to shipping time, adding to the cost.
2. It raises WTI - aka our price.
3. It shows shippers are starting to think this is longer term.
