Several gas stations’ posted prices went from $4.39 per gallon of regular fuel to $4.65 in just 6 hours.

I've read about and heard liberals talking about how gas prices have always fluctuated, but never in my life have I seen increases like this, and especially stretched out over such a period of time. Not only that, but it's not fluctuating, it's just increasing.
I almost hate posting articles like this because by the time I see it, save it, and post it, it's already been beaten by another price increase.
Fuck Joe Biden......
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing places in Alberta where its over $2 a liter, so over $7.50 a gallon. Friends in British Columbia are seeing $2.22 a liter prices.

It's just (ha!) a 6% increase. Back in the day with $2.16 it would have just been an eight cent increase.
ReplyDeleteLets go Brandon!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe last 2 or 3 times gas jumped around here, it has been 20 cents per gallon each time.
ReplyDeleteRegular is $6.09 a gallon down on the corner as of yesterday. I haven't looked today.
DeleteThis ain't Californica, either. It's north suburban Chicago. It was $5.89 last week.
There is a youtube video "CEO Of Pilot & Flying J Exposes The Truth To Why Diesel Prices Are High At Truck Stops" that shows the CEO of the Pilot gas stations telling congress that the railroad is telling him to cut his fuel shipments or have an embargo against him. So the shortage (higher prices) is being manufactured.
ReplyDeleteI filled up this morning, with a quarter of a tank still remaining. It took over 81$ to fill the tank the rest of the way. That is more than I have ever pumped into any one tank in my entire life. When I graduated high school in 1978, I was pumping gas 20 hours per week, plus going to school and playing sports. The cost of gas was .60 cents per gallon.
ReplyDeleteThe government doesn't understand just how pissed the average citizen is right now. Most of them don't remember the days of Carter/Reagan, and this is uncharted ground for them. YOYO, so plan accordingly.
I've got a station near me (NorCal) that was charging $5.94, then $6.24, then $5.94 again, then $6.14. That was about a month ago. Their price is currently $6.54, but six miles away it's 25¢ cheaper.
ReplyDeleteGas Buddy is our friend.
Some of these price increases can be attributed to plain old price gouging. For a time I worked in a somewhat isolated burg in No. Kailfukinornia where the only rule came in on barges , not rail pipelines, or by trucks. It was delivered to a tank farm where local trucks picked up and delivered to stations. I knew when exactly the barges came in. About every 15-20 days. Prices normally would change through all the stations after the most recent barge delivery. Then all of a sudden as the prices per barrel of oil got higher at the well, as reported on the stock exchange daily, the prices at all the stations started changing, daily. And I knew damn well there had not been a recent barge unloading so no price increase was warranted. The stations were simply raising the price on already paid for lower priced oil. But they damn sure took their sweet assed time reducing the price when when price on the stock exchange reported lower prices. Gougers gonna gouge and crooks gonna crook. Thats why district of cartoonistan be full of politicians, er, crooks, same thing.
ReplyDeleteI think the gas companies are gouging Americans. Isn't there some way to sue them...say , for usury?
ReplyDeleteThis is intentional by the Brandon Administration.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't think so, search for some of the dementia patient's statements in the debates in 2020.
This is basically grinding down the middle class and escpecially the poor.

ReplyDeleteI don't see how my buds with the 7 litre rigs are affording any of it.
