Even if it means higher gas for me, I really hope the Arabs tell Brandon to *expletive deleted*ck right off.

They did, repeatedly, last year. At one point the Saudi oil minister apparently refused to take Biden's phone call where Biden was going to delivery yet another completely racist plea for the apparently less human brown Saudis to pump more oil so the more human white Americans wouldn't have to pay so much (and we wouldn't produce more here, because, you know, I'm Joe Biden, and I'm going to DESTROY fossil fuel!)

Hell, last summer the Saudi oil minister said there was an easy solution to American needing more oil... we could pump it ourselves. What did the Biden administration do in response? Made it even harder for American producers to... produce.

But of course Joe Butt.... Butter... Buttery... Buttinbutt... whatever his name is... has the solution... Just buy an electric car! Electricity grows on trees! It will be free!

I'm still looking for a free electric car tree let alone a free electricity tree to plug to it into.

That sounds like straight white gay hating racist talk! You're a horrible person for doubting the Joes!

Low test here went up again - from $4.13 to $4.45.  Non-ethanol is available at the same station, for an additional $0.50 per gallon.
And yet, the cost of producing ethanol is higher than the cost of refining oil into gasoline - ethanol-diluted gas drove prices UP when it was introduced.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I always fill the cars up on the first of the month. When I filled the first one, it was 4.74. when I came back 10 minutes later to fill up the second one, it was 4.79.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

My wife filled up at the Marysville Costco today at $ 4.89/gallon.  I filled up today at a Chevron station in Marysville five miles from Costco at $ 5.45/gallon.  Fortunately, I was filling up the Zuma 125, so it only cost me a bit over $ 6.00.

Well, I have a source for most of the rear end for a trike "motorcycle."
 
Probably going to try to set it up to have "wheel hub motors" to drive the thing.
 
And a bunch of batteries. Will probably start with some big lead-acid suckers, but as I have the time/cash, will move to lithium ion...
 
First I gotta move the damn milling machine from in front of my garage door, while getting my van in shape for an interstate drive...

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

Some place near San Francisco is charging $10/gal.

That's like from dystopian future movie from the 70s where they thought they were way exaggerating that possibility for artistic effect. Now we're living it.

Uh . . . with doddering old President Hunter Biden in office, maybe they're selling it by the pint in 2052?

Joe, The Corn Pop Slayer, Biden is on the case
With Solyndra part ][
Gas should start coming down in a couple of hours

 :facepalm:

Biden will take executive action to ramp up domestic energy production (no, not of oil & gas)

Will "The Big Guy" be getting his 10% I wonder?  Will Hunter be involved in any negotiations with the Chinese commies?

$4.89 here now. I read this morning that we will likely break $5 average locally by the end of the week.

Still $4.69 on average in the Hickory, NC area, though one Murphy station we buy gas at bumped up four cents overnight to $4.68.

July 2008 price of oil hit $147 a barrel and national average at the pump was around $4 per gallon.

Why is $120 barrel oil equating to near $5 per gallon pump prices?
