$8 a Gallon here
Well the taxes and oil giants are raking in the profits. Over $2 a liter or $8 a gallon now. Premium is pushing $9 a gallon:(

Navyeod and I took our cars for an 80 mile cruise around a local lake Friday. With Alabama gas prices nearing $4/gallon I estimate it cost me about $30. As I would rather do a hundred trips like that than one $3,000 3-day ship cruise, gas prices have not yet affected my hot rod hobby.

Perry I feel for you Brother (Washington State) Sequim where I live, I paid 4.40 per gallon (Prem.) yesterday. Cheers Tom.

Most of Vegas broke $4/gal last week. But Costco and Sams are always 10-20c below broke $4 overnight (399 last night, 405 this morning) for regular 87 octane. (Both are members only here in Nevada, some states don't allow that...) The discount also disappeared - Sams/Costco are the same as their nearby competitors.

Here in the glorious republic of Kalifornia, we are at almost $6.00 a gallon for premium.

But wait there's more. Do you buy food?, oil used to make the fertilizer to grow it, diesel to run the tractor to till the soil, harvest it, then take it to the mill to proccess it, etc, then there is everything else you use, heat your house? have shingles on it, paint on the walls, vynil siding, windows made of glass, how do you think they heat the sand to make glass? Wadda ya think powers that cruze ship you get on for your next vacation, or you ballers that like to fly on an airplane to get to them sandy beaches all over the world, oil is used in EVERYTHING but we can go on and on FJB

If I had known this thread was going to take a political turn, I'd have opened with something snarky about all the Putin lovers out there.

Premium at the local Costco is CAD $1.649 / litre, or CAD $6.24 / US gallon. Based upon current exchange rates, that's about USD $4.90 / US gallon.
I'd rather pay the premium prices and drive the Cobra than not drive the Cobra. I have no doubt it will get worse before it gets better. p.s. I'm hanging on to the idea that whatever extra I pay at the pumps will be reflected in higher dividends and prices for my energy investments. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |
Hey Tommy, Are you talking about the Putin that is a Genius and Savy?

We have a rule here (No Politics). If not, I would have posted F Putin, and pray for the Ukrainians

My Ukrainian flag is flying in front of my house, the F*(k Putin flag was just ordered on Amazon, and I'm thinking that a yellow wrap around the bottom half of my Spectre Blue BDR would be the icing on the cake (albeit really not a good look for a Cobra).
Cлава Yкраїнa! Oh, and $5.45 for premium (91 octane) here in Santa Barbara, CA |
You ain’t seen nothing yet on the price of fuel. Rent crude over $130/barrel and wti was at $125/ barrel. The the geniuses in dc are to blame for what’s coming!
|
Look on the bright side, race fuel has been the same price here for the last 3 years 9.99/gal. It hasn't budged yet, and not complaining although you now have to fill out a "form" if purchasing leaded fuel. At least we can still buy it. However, I just paid 5.99/gal for diesel and that is very annoying.
|
Seriously, people with limited use toys costing upwards of 6-figures are crying about the price of gas? Just wait until you have to fill up the tanks on the yacht...

Solar panels are built by what? More solar panels? Wind power is a great idea that is even more fuel costly. Where does the power to even build them come from? The electric car fad is a joke. |
