re: Gas is $3.89 here (Nashville). Gonna be $4 soon. What’s gas by you?

My brother has a small trucking business in Alabama. That's where the gas prices really mean hundreds of dollars a week difference.

One of our clients has a 5,000 gallon diesel tank at his equipment yard that he fills up about once a week. A dollar increase in diesel will cost him an extra quarter million dollars a year.

I remember hearing this when it hit $1, then again at $2.

Prices don't gotta do anything.

Can’t remember the last time I consciously looked at the price of gasoline.

Still lower than the highest when Biden was president. Funny how the media didn’t lead the nightly news with gas prices then. Reason 3000 why you don’t hate the mainstream media enough.

Paid $6.29 this afternoon

Just remember.
The same people who told you 35% inflation and $5 gas gave us the strongest economy ever are telling us 3% inflation and $3.50 gas is economic disaster.

Prices will continue to rise to lower demand/prevent hoarding. A global energy crisis was imminent with or without the war, TSA furloughs->increased flight delays/cancellations were almost certainly institutional to artificially reduce jet fuel consumption/alleviate pressure on the supply side. Same thing with increased grocery prices, less disposable income->ultimately lower aggregate fuel consumption

They'll never come out and say it, just look what happened with toilet paper during covid, but it's certainly starting to look like peak oil is real (demand>supply). Hell, it may have been here for a while as that's the most rational reason for the covid response...greatly reduced demand allowed energy to stockpile

In Bangladesh, the fuel shortages and panic have resulted in a spike in robberies, as people raid gas stations and fuel trucks in order to stockpile supplies.

Mohammad Najmul Haque, president of the Bangladesh Petrol Pump Owners Association, told the Washington Post that attacks are reported every day across the roughly 3,000 fuel stations in the country.

The appearance of huge lines of people panic-buying fuel has contributed to a cycle of fear, leading others to do the same. Some gas station managers have been beaten—or even killed—Haque and Bangladeshi officials reported, over the fuel shortages.

87 grade is already $4 a gallon in some places here in central Louisiana

Gas is subsidized like a motherfricker.

It should cost WAY more to drive a vehicle.

Although most of yall weren't taking the "cant do anything about it" stance when Biden was in office.
