Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gas finally hit $3 a gallon - thanks Joe

That’s near The People’s Republic of Ann Arbor.

I remember last year paying something like $1.25 or so at Sam’s Club.

I’d close more fuqking pipelines.

Oh, I’ve heard it said because there is a shortage of truckers, ...they will spin it every way.

$2.47 for 87 octane and $3.07 for 93 octane in my greater area.

The economy is doing great.

Said so on the news.

I bought 5 gallons of diesel for my lawn mower and about went postal on the price tag. Lawn might get pretty long this year...it's 4 acres.

Diesel still below $3/gal here.

It’s over $5 in parts of California.

Totally sustainable. No worries.

Better buy electric cars then eh. (Sarcasm for those who don’t recognize it).

Warren Buffet is having more RR tank cars built.

He’s here to help so we’re saved.

Sure glad there isn’t any inflation, think how bad it would be then!
Regular pushing towards 3.00 a gallon here, it will be by Memorial weekend and then some. Previous administration had it down around 1.70 a gallon.
Absolute imbecile in the White House.

87 octane $3.07 in PA yesterday.

Yeah but the President isn’t tweeting so it’s all worth it.

He uses a form of babble, so it’s ok.

$2.89 yesterday, cost me 65 bucks to fill up the truck.

I don't think the ruling elites really grasp how disastrous $4 to $5 gas was on our economy, back in 2007. A repeat of those days, added to the covid policies, are going to be bad news.

You guys worry about the dumbest schit.

The COVID numbers in India is what matters.

I watched the Today show on NBC this morning and yer exactly right!!

Seriously, I did. Want to keep an eye out.

Housing bubble, high fuel prices, spiraling debt, inflated stock market…… KA-BOOM!

Who knew?

GROUNDHOG DAY!

Filled up a couple days ago at 2.85 / gal.. I'm sure it will be rising soon like it always does in May before Memorial Day.

By this time next year we will be wishing it was only $3 a gallon. As Rush would say, " Don't doubt me!"

So, a gallon of gas is roughly 1/8 of an hours pay for a construction worker. In the mid seventies, that was about what it was. Prior to that, I paid about 1/16 of an hour's pay for a gallon. The point is, inflation has hit hard in the last fifty years and the rate is exponential. Went to town last week and spent 90 dollars to fill up the pickup. 270 bucks worth of groceries didn't fill the shopping cart. Outrageous though it may be, the truth is, I'm in a situation where it's no real hardship. We still put money in savings and don't go without too much. We live somewhat frugally, compared to many, but we always have.
Let's face it, anyone who has four acres of lawn and a diesel powered mower to cut it with doesn't need a lot of sympathy if he spends twenty bucks on diesel to do the job!
The sad thing is, there is very little in the way of real value behind all these dollars. When some guy spends an hour pushing some papers around on his desk, produces absolutely nothing, then is rewarded with enough money to buy twenty five gallons of a tangible product, a product which can accomplish real work, there is something a little out of whack.
When fuel prices are high, I do my part to bring them down by traveling less and buying less fuel. If people won't pay the price, it will come down. Or, we can follow Joe's lead and simply borrow money to spend in any frivolous way we choose. GD
