it has hit it here in Oregon.... and going past that amount, with no hesitation....
plus Circle K has bought into the fuel stations in the Rogue Valley here, and now charging 16 to 20 cents more a gallon to use your credit or debit card....
I don't buy fuel at those places.....
back to Obama era, high fuel prices, when are shortages going to be next...
and Commine Harris wanting even higher prices, no heating as the latest trend is to outlaw natural gas, with no alternative in play... they talk solar and wind mills, and yet have no infrastructure to distribute it, much less handle it... trying to ban heating with wood also...although there is tons of it...
heard on the radio housing prices are up 7 to 10 % in just a few months...
they want more taxes on everything, knowing that there are still only 100 pennies in a dollar, they just think they deserve more of your dollar you worked for than you do..
We all need monitored more according to whats coming out of DC...
when are they going to have the re education camps, and white people termination camps set up?
like good little minions we all are just standing down and taking it....
being white in the nation is akin to being a Jew in 1938 Germany......
I was back in the San Francisco area for a few days. Gas was $4.09 a gallon (it's $2.30 here in Montana). For my truck, with a 36 gallon tank, that's a pretty big increase in fuel costs.
I paid 2.33 at Costco in Twin Falls, ID yesterday. Walmart's the same. Diesel's about 2.80. We were in Vancouver, WA last week and saw gas in that part of WA and OR pushing $3 really hard. We did see $3 in a couple small towns. There was a Costco in Vancouver last week that was 2.41 and the lines were very long since everyone else was .30 higher. For some reason, gas here in Twin Falls is often cheaper than anywhere else from here to Portland or Seattle, even cheaper than Boise.
See who's f-ing u ... gov of course... https://taxfoundation.org/state-gas-tax-rates-2020/#:~:text=You'll%20find%20the%20lowest,and%20Mississippi%20(18.79%20cpg).
Last week was $3.09 at the "cheap" station there, $3.49 or so at the Chevron, and something like $2.69 on the Rez
so you're stopping by and getting cozy with the Injuns?
5 miles outside of town. I did the math once, based on the difference in price if I'm at a half tank or less I come out ahead in the truck doing the 10 mile round trip. And with an 8 gal fill up I get a free ice tea. And we get to write our name on the receipt and drop it in the box for a drawing. They've got a big set of Milwaukee tools this go 'round. Friend won a huge bbq grill, they've had kayaks and fishing eqpt and other goodies too. All the Chevron does is make a bigger profit for their shareholders.
I do support my "Red cuzzins" out there, they are providing jobs closer to where they live. Building a nicer truck stop there on 395 too for the folks driving commercial. Easier to fill up there than try to get in and out in town.
It's about $2.30 at the Costco in Idaho Falls now. Last month it was $1.92. So only a 20% increase this last month. They will continue to crank it up at that rate until at least $4. The dirty dems what European level prices at $5-$6.
Was about 198 at cheapest place,, and now 285. Good news, because meat, bread and milk will follow soon. What happened to your savings? Evaporated, lost buying power.
2.79 at the speedway in our town. 2.61 right next door at Wesco. Guess where I gassed the car up. When I got home told the wife and she hopped in her truck to top it off. Both places were 2.79.
I can't wait to see someone out of gas on the side of the road with Biden Harris bumper stickers broke and hitching.I will give them the number 1 sign with my middle finger as I drive by.
Still cheap compared to electricity last week in Texas. I wonder which one of those dumb bastards kept their Tesla plugged in and charging when electricity hit $9.00 per kWh.
Some folks here know that I retired after 30 years with a major in O&G and have always been on the lack of success of the sector here. When running properly a pile of jobs are offered that drive unemployment down ( a win?) I am really lost on the hate of the oil industry here.

People here in Oklahoma are thanking god that prices are rebounding. The ranchers, roughnecks, engineers, pipe yards, land companies, attorneys, restaurants, car dealers, accountants, investors and real estate companies are all praying it keeps going and is a trend and not a blip.
I’m just amazed that all the people who hate high gas prices don’t realize that the main beneficiaries of higher prices are, you guessed it, rural (fly over country) Republican voters.
Gas has been over $3 up here all along. It did jump about 20 cents in a couple days last week, to $3.69. Diesel has stayed at $3.62 for the last 6 months or so.
Befo Joe and Ho are through with us, it will likely be over $6.

Dayom... almost worth driving to Ninilchik. 2.69 at Three Bears and 2.64 at Tesoro . Went to Soldotna twice in 2020, ain't been there yet this year.. The Three Bears store/Ace hardware is great in our Lil Villa!! + Twin Rivers adult beverage redistribution center/rock and roll emporium.. Only drive 5-6 miles a day.. Harbor at Ninilchik and cruise the beach at Deep Creek.. Tuesdays a high mileage day, Both beaches and changing filters at an air quality monitoring station..10 miles Rd trip.

Ed, of all the folks I have met on the campfire here over the last 16 plus years on it, you are the guy I first think of when I think of someone who has run his life well planned out and has managed his successes.. I've been super impressed with how you've done that.... definitely a life well lived...
that said, I have to admit... I do have problems with how more money out of my pocket, to benefit others, ends up benefitting me in the end...
if that benefits me, then why don't we make fuel $6.00 a gallon or even $10 a gallon.... but then I look at my bank account, and see a lot less money in it, and I'm still having trouble seeing how that benefits me...
Under Trump, we had more fuel resources available, than ever before....yet I remember in my youth and when I started driving back in 1968, I had a lowly VW bug... it ran on regular, and as memory recalls, up and down the entire east coast, you really had a hard time finding fuel for less than 29.9 cents a gallon, or OVER 29.9 cents a gallon.... the oil industry was clipping along just fine, and with plenty of stations of many different companies.... plenty of competition...
now with mergers after mergers.... prices not fluctuate all over the map.... states road tax fuel a lot more than they use to... diesel use to be much cheaper than gas, since it was a by product of oil production... for the last 20 years it now costs much more than gas...
even my young memory of my folks buying gas in my youth, say 1958 on... they paid 29.9 for gas.... that price was stabile for 15 plus years...
and for myself, I can remember my hate for oil companies, goes back to the 1973-74 fuel embargo on the east coast.... where stations were open two hours a day only.. many states you bought fuel on even and odd days, according to your license number..... while oil tankers sat off the east coast at anchor for 4 to 6 months, as they had nowhere to drop the fuel, because local refineries were full.. but little gas was available to the public, as they pushed up prices...
it was all manipulated.. and was pretty evident... for me, 50 years later... that is why I don't trust oil companies one damn bit...
and when I say that, I'm not referring to local dealers like John on the campfire here down in Texas.... but I do know here in Southern Oregon, that two guys own most of the fuel stations in the local valley, and they keep prices wound up at high as they can get away with.... no competition...
fuel is a basic need of folks...price gouging pisses people off... the same as with this electric fiasco Texas is experiencing right now after this storm...
this is pretty much why I have no love for oil companies....
yet I am admitting to being a hypocrite, being in the medical support industry....
Common sense tells me, lower fuel prices equal more jobs. Trump had the lowest unemployment numbers in history and the lowest cost per barrel of oil. Couldn't even give the oil away at one time. Don't believe the oil company BS, think for yourself.
Gas is selling for $2.30 and $2.40 locally. It has gone up about $.30 so far and shows evidence of going much higher. The Biden voters are having second thoughts. Too bad we have to suffer with them.

I don't hate the oil companies, but we are getting squeezed hard on freight charges as it is. Higher fuel prices will exacerbate that.

Built in personal biases and a lack of understanding contribute a lot to it.
And before I get any more PM's, no I didn't vote for Joe, and I have no influence over how much any one of you as individuals might pay for a gallon of gasoline.
Since you took office as the non-elected president I’ve seen gas prices in my AO go from $1.72 to $2.50 as of today.
Don’t even think of blaming it on Texas because they’ve withstood hurricanes over the last 4 years and the prices never budged. They recently went up 10 cents last week and 10 cents more last night. Prices only got high because of your lover Obumo and your own self served interest.
You and your party are a plague on the USA. Like covid....a sickness. I only wish I could put on a mask and make you go away.
We're close, but we also have the highest state gas tax in the country. I fully expect well over $4 over the summer (maybe sooner). Yep, keep voting Democrat.

Up $.50 a gallon since the inauguration.... waiting to see the big boost to the economy that I keep reading here on the 'fire that comes from higher gas prices. KaChing!!!
Diesel here jumped another nickel yesterday - now at $3.18/gallon..
