    madmax Far right. Bipolar. Veteran. Don't push me.

    I'm putting on my tinfoil hat right now. Sort of.
    Our nation's rich said let's see if we can control the sheep and how long. Two years. The fear mongering is wearing off fast. So the ultra rich say let's price them out of traveling and eating out. How long before the rumblings get too loud? At the same time they create a food shortage (via supply, skyrocketing fertilizer prices, and our choices at the supermarket bottom out). Hey! Pretty good so far. Got them on their knees now. Now let's give them some food and stupid little checks in the mail with the caveat that they follow their rules.
    Bread lines and government cheese anyone?
    If you've watched this going down, you hopefully have preps and heirloom seeds.

    I had to laugh at the VP and Mayor Pete telling us to go out and buy a $60,000 electric car. I guess they are too ignorant to know that only 20% of this country's electricity is produced by renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass and hydro). The other 80% comes from coal and natural gas fired steam plants. I can buy a lifetime of gasoline for $60,000.

    Ha! And you guys keep saying that Biden can't get anything done when he set this in motion via EO's the day after he was sworn in. Still he's humble enough to give the credit to Putin (Putin's price bump meme) even though prices went through the roof before both our embargo and the war itself. Whatta great guy that Brandon fellow...

    The ultimate goal is to bleed us dry so we own nothing then they will have total control

    $4.85 here for regular $5.35 for diesel, and KESA had LL-100 posted at $5.95 per gallon self serve, or $6.35 done by the ground dudes! Jet-A is $6.83 per gallon, or $7.60 with the ground crew! Thanks Biden, ya old jackass!

    I rotated some of my storage gas, I don't wanna know what it's going to cost me to replace it :cry:!

    It's bad when my teenage daughter refuses to drive around her friends because she doesn't like refueling due to the cost. I told her that her friends need to pony up some cash for gas, even a couple of bucks helps.

    I've got 60 gallons of gas in my boat I maybe siphoning it for my truck if it gets worse. Ya know I read all these Senators talking big about Bidumbs disastrous energy policy but they do nothing. Just a lot of hot air and no action, typical of the Washington elite

    Worst part is, i'm driving to Cali this weekend, have to go to the Consulate monday for a bunch of paperwork and such, fuel in the area is over $6.00 per gallon and climbing, I would fly if it were just me ( Would actually be cheaper), but I cant, so it's gouge and gouge some more!

    Do you have a truck with an aux tank? Heck we can go almost 2000 miles on a single tank with my husband’s truck.

    I knew a friend who did exactly that with the 60 gallons in his motorboat after Hurricane Ike hit the Houston area in 2008. Some of us had 16 days without electricity, but did alright with a portable genny and sufficient fuel storage.

    Haha I have 180 gallons of LL-100 sitting in the wings, I could siphon it down if needed, only cost me $5.55 per gallon a month ago! The way things are going, that might have been a bargain! Only problem is it's leaders, so only my Trackster and old car(s) can handle it!

    So gas was 3.999/Gal at the pump but I had a .10/gal discount. Well, that really doesn't make much of a discount. 2 five gallon cans filled and treated and topped off the tank in my truck.
    Bases on our summer travel plans, it may be cheaper for me to get a new truck that gets better mileage. I love my Tundra, but the gas mileage SUCKS.

    I was thinking that too, All the sudden these squatted trucks are hitting the market to a point it's being saturated by natural selection so to speak.

    5.25 a gallon for diesel in the town I live in. I was pretty happy to find diesel for 4.74 a gallon this morning near my workplace.

    Is there no end to these F-in price increases now jumped to $4.19 from $3.89 in 3 days. When are WE the People going to say enough is enough. Executive orders were never meant to be used the way Bidumb has. One man(Bidumb) has crippled the energy industry and cost the American people millions if not billions.
