I just saw $6.50 here in Houston. That’s fricking nuts. That’s at least $3000 in fuel from now to February for the hunts I will make.

holy shite that's my neighborhood and even crazier that's my black Ram pickup. I was inside the store buying swisher sweet cigarillos, a pack of newports, and 2 scratch-off tickets when this photo was taken

small world...

Yeah the deer are gonna get corn rations this year. Hit $6.49 locally to me. My niece has an older dually that gets 10 mpg. No clue how she's affording it.

$8.49 at a station near the airport in Fresno as of last night. $7.45 at the Costco that I fill up at.

One station out of diesel isn't a problem.

Many stations without diesel is a problem.

There is no shortage of diesel this week. High prices will keep that in check.


They may have some owners that can't float the price of a truck to refill their tanks. That would get wild.

I’ll still feed but may drive my Tesla and have 6000lbs of corn delivered to my ranch and store it in my shop. Problem is rats will tear that shite up.

The robot mowers are paying for themselves at the moment.

They are saving me about 100 a month in fuel, and I'm just refusing to bush hog until further notice.

I sprayed 350 acres and cut way back on the diesel about another 200 acres to go but already have the diesel.

We ain’t mowing shite but it’s super dry just need to cut some small mesquite so it doesn’t get out of control.

You can’t fill up outside of town for over a dollar per gallon less?

It's 25 dollars in gas to mow the yard on the zero turn. I was mowing every 5 days.

The robots don't really seem to even affect the electric bill enough to notice

Not sure what your issue is.

Jesus. 5 gallons of gas used to last us at least 8 hours when using a commercial mower.

How may electric mowers you have to do 10+ acres?

It's a combination of stupidity. 4ft mower. The big Briggs motor that drinks fuel faster than the Kawasaki. Bahia. Mulching blades. Ag tires.

Vs



embedding isn't working properly

They're mowing right now actually.

Seems that operation likes to be the only gas at the interchange where they build. Not like they seem to have the cheapest gas with that kind of short range monopoly power.

Until we’re in long lines to get to the pump, like the mid & late 70’s, I’m not worrying about $3.60 gas or $6 diesel.

I’ve seen less and less F250’s zig zagging all over the road commuting from Willis to their downtown office jobs.
