Paid over $4 Friday for regular for the first time ever. Back in the day Louisiana produced enough to keep prices lower than a lot of places. I guess $4.10 is still less than some, but it`s getting out of hand. Glad I live a couple hundred yards from my office, but it's about to get too hot to walk.
The great shakedown cycle on the average American has begun, get ready for some great deals from those that have lived way beyond their means for several years. Outrageous luxuries and expensive toys will be going cheap and those that saved those dollars when times were going good instead of spending will benefit.

Filled up yesterday with the board price of $6.39 but at the pump $6.29. Printed out a receipt if there is a issue on my bill.
If this drags on I may have to look for a job closer to home (read walking distance) at minimum/starting wage of $15/$17. Saw my local Mountain Mikes (pizza joint) two blocks away was hiring. I could have my own version of "American Beauty" minus a wife who hates me and minus a weird son. Going back to my first job as a pizza boy.
I hate to say it but their plan is working, first you take away peoples money to the point where they will turn to the government for help, then people become dependent on the government, this is how socialism works, people have to be dependent on the government for socialism to work.
Joe cares about people about like Joseph Stalin cared about his people.
I find it interesting that, in some parts of the country, programmers are scrambling to revise gas pumps to be able to display/function at prices greater than $9.99 per gallon.
Everyone who thinks they are dumb, are simply wrong! They are smart, and doing EXACTLY what they have planned!
Now their plan to kill America is dumb, but they want socialism and will stop at NOTHING to get it. Where they are DUMB, is in thinking that it won't affect them! They will have a rude awakening soon!
I was out and about yesterday running errands and every station I passed by was $5.19 for regular. I forgot to take along a couple of 5 gal cans for mower and yard equipment, so I'll have to run out this afternoon to get them filled. Lord knows what the price will be today. I hate winter but sometimes it is good the grass mowing season stops in the fall in Michigan. Otherwise we would be talking a home equity loan just to keep the grass mowed.😖 Bob
State and local taxes account for the difference. That I pay $7.65/gal for diesel in Pismo Beach, California is not because we pay more for a barrel of crude.
For sure, that's why the left coast states are so much more expensive. With all of their left leaning liberal policies, it's hard to believe that people can still afford to live here, let alone want too.
Yea but you can get free needles and they have decriminalized HARD drugs such as meth! Cali gets what they asked for! I can't imagine trying to live there as even a moderate conservative! That state has been taken over by communists.(that state and several others)
Average house cost in my county (San Luis Obispo) is $680K. Average cost in county beach communities is twice that. I moved back here after 20+ years in north Idaho due to health, old age and weather, and the fact that the demographic there was becoming little different than here; transplanted Californians abound, and they brought their mindset with them. If I have to be around stupid, at least I can be where it's warm.
Got out of Cali over 30 years ago, friends and family still there... they *, but don't do anything about it, it's on them... North Texas Gas still slightly under $5.00 diesel about $5.30 glad i drive less and less each year...
I currently drive a Nissan Versa (11 gal or so tank) that gets fantastic mileage, live 1 mile from work and have to fill up every three weeks or so. I'm lucky.
Why is everyone whining? GREEN FONT HERE.......................sarcasm people.
I am seriously thinking of buying a bicycle right now.
Going back to the original comment - "Third. Where is the outrage? I swear when gas prices hit $4.00 that was the end of the world. Or am I remembering things wrongly?"
I have an ex-coworker that railed and railed and railed when prices got near 4 when Bush was in office.
Never heard a peep when it got worse under the next regime. He didn't want to talk about it.
I think he may be dead now. Haven't heard from him in quite some time.
I was reading comments from this admittedly pro-environmentalist who says it is all just supply and demand and that he thinks this will help push people into "smarter" alternatives. I hadn't considered that being the end game idea for the prices.
They say the price is based on supply and demand, but I have yet to hear of anyone running out like they did in early to mid 70's.
Yep, give them a Biden gas card. They can call it the green card since they are letting anyone into this Country and they no longer have a need for the ones they already have.
Had my at home diesel tank topped off, just took 105 gallons, 600.00+-.
Sent them on to the church I go to for their winter heating kerosene. Have not seen that bill but I guess over 1,200.00 for 200 gallons.
Here is my beeoch about the issue, we are being robbed blind and just think of the elderly drawing less than 800.00 per month "entitlements". They are going to be cold and hungry if they survive the effects of FJB.
Talking to a young man, afixin to get married and set up house keeping. Land is sky if you can even find it.
New home prices have doubled and what I hear banks are beginning to stop letting out construction loans.
He said in a broken voice, what are young people supposed to do? Again thanks FJB.

I don't use a glass.
Better yet, I'm sure they will offer the Biden gas card soon! That's the one you REALLLY wanna get(green font).
This is a tactical move on the libs push for green energy and no more USA world dominance, so far their plan is working great!
Killing America one day at a time!
Please tell me you are joking and that is not an actual statement from the White House.
Paid $5.09 for Diesel today outside of Kansas City MO.
Gas is around $4.00.
Just joking, but it wouldn't have surprised me if Psaki had said that on her way out of the WH and on to her golden parachute gig at MSNBC.
That is what it feels like around here. Every time I go by the gas station I have to guess what the price will be. Today it was $4.65 per gallon.

Regular gas is $4.49 all over central Florida. It was $3.79 the last time I filled up, which was back in April.
Diesel is by far the greater concern.

Will we see a "Diesel Rebellion"? Since we did have a Whiskey Rebellion back in the day. Maybe we're more American't instead of American these days?

Make sure to Thank Joe everytime you fill up!

The price is $4.52 a gallon here. In the state of NC my gas buddy tells me its $4.24 a gallon in Sanford NC is the cheapest price.
Same here in Utah. Was $4.79 at 7 am and $4.99 at 11 - and EVERY gas station changed in that time.

Wow!!!

Waiting for Bank of America to have loan officers set up at gas stations.
For the folks that don't pay their CC off each month , just think what that gas really costs at 18-24% on their CC.
Yep, give them a Biden gas card. They can call it the green card since they are letting anyone into this Country and they no longer have a need for the ones they already have.
$4.29/gal here in SW Arkansas this morning. "Only" cost me $80 to fill my F150.
Had my at home diesel tank topped off, just took 105 gallons, 600.00+-.
Sent them on to the church I go to for their winter heating kerosene. Have not seen that bill but I guess over 1,200.00 for 200 gallons.
