OPEC has agreed to raise production by 1-2%. Demand is also going up seasonally. With these two factors, it would be reasonable to expect the price to stay at the current level for the rest of the summer, then drop slightly in the fall. But who knows what other factors will be there.

My brother was talking about gas prices today..... He posted this on FB and all I could say is WOW!

Been wondering when the gas price will change driving habits. Hit $4.70 today and the traffic was still bad. Guess we’re not there yet. Our monthly gas bill for work went from 8k to 14k

A 6K jump in operating cost for the Business he helps run, and all that has to be passed on to the consumer........

If anyone thinks the destruction of the economy, and this country in general, is not by design by the current idiot in th White House and the Democratic party, well, I'll have what you're smoking........

I just spent $28 more on the same meat I buy every two weeks. And that's just the meat. Gas went up .20/gallon in two days. The U.S. Women's Open is going on here and some think that's why gas jumped in price due to the influx of people. That screws the rest of us over and many of us don't give a [BLEEP] about golf. I hope the local economy gets a sizeable boost from this crap. That's the only way the cost will be justified.

I wonder if there is any possibillity of this happening......

I realized today that the price of gas has increased by $1/gallon since the end of February. Of this year. They're going to bury us with their "pie in the sky" dreams of EVs.

Two sides to this one.
One is the super wealthy western investor class, and yes, it seems most of them are on board with the "let them drive EVs" plan.
The other are Saudis and the rest of OPEC.  Those guys are just trying to see how close they can shear the sheep before it gets gangrene and dies.
Biden has very little control over either of them.
The idea that Biden should direct productive investments instead of private investors is literally the definition of socialism.
And the Saudis don't like Biden,  and they are trying to punish him, but for totally different reasons than any of us.  The Saudis don't care what we try to do about welfare or infrastructure or criminal justice.  They liked Trump, and maybe they'd play ball better in a second Trump administration,  but, why should the American voter let OPEC hold the country hostage?

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

Just wait for the rolling blackouts.

Just need to plan ahead and not buy the EV. They will just cut your power and force everyone into cities to save power and then you won't have any room to charge your EV even if you have power. Hahaha.


WSJ writer rented one for a road trip and only saved $100 but spent more time charging than sleeping. So add the added time and cost for hotels and food, and you are way over your $100 savings. The article was picked up at a lo of websites so you should be able to find it.


Also E10 is becoming E15 now for the summer, you will save maybe $.10 per gallon. I haven't seen if they are forcing all gas to now be e15 or just some nozzles/pumps. It will destroy older cars and non-vehicle engines. Current vehicles will be harmed by more maintenance cost and more wear on the gas tank, fuel system, and engine. I'd pay the extra $1 or so to fill up without the e15.

Further speeding up the plan to force you to buy EV.

Found this on my FB Feed: If you make $15 an hour, you bring home on average, $9 per hour after taxes and insurance. Most people work 40 hours per week, and according to the department of Energy, Americans purchase 40 gallons of gas a week minimum. This means after you pay for gas each week, you bring home $4 an hour. Anyone that makes minimum wage, is only paying for gas, that's it. When everyone voted for Biden because he promised wages of $15 an hour, did you think things like gas would stay at $2 per gallon. You now make less money today than you did 2 years ago, and if you make minimum wage, in another few weeks, you will start to pay to go to work Congratulations, your uneducated vote has lowered your household net income.

The math doesn't add up.  Taxes aren't actually that high, people don't actually buy that much gas, Biden hasn't actually increased the minimum wage, etc.

But yes increasing the minimum wage is one of the strongest inflationary things government can do.  Covid created a scarcity of people willing to show up to work, wages went up, so prices went up, which sparks a fire that has caught some of the monetary fuel that was built up since the Bush tax cuts on fire. Fortunately the fuel is more like wood than solid rocket fuel so there is a chance for wise policy to stop this before its all on fire.

Yeah... why get lied to by a meme when you can be lied to by mainstream, American institutions?

One good thing from gas prices being this high, is that a whole generation of Americans is seeing the effects of liberalism and so called progressivism in real time. Biden and the Dems are losing massive support from EVERY type of American. This stolen election could hurt DemoRats for years and years to come. This pain will not be easily forgotten. While the country is burning, the dims are laser focused on Jan 6 and Trans issues. Issues that Most people don't give a rats you know what about.

4.89 on the way home I'll have to fill up tomorrow on the way home. Was $97 to fill my wife's tank a few days ago. We've decided to cancel our trip to Tennessee this year just going to cost to much to go. Imagine we're not the only ones making changes

I'm glad we took our vacation at the end of February to coincide with our 10 year anniversary. Gas jumped while we were there but it was still very manageable. This crap now? We would have to really think about it and not just for the cost of gas but for everything else.

It's getting to be almost at this point..........
