This morning the gas gauge read almost empty so I filled it at $4.05 a gallon. I thought I was getting ripped off. This evening I went out to pick up some groceries and the price was $4.49. I guess I caught a bargin. At least that's what Biden would tell me.

So it's $4.49 in deep South Texas (McAllen) what is it where you are??

Lucky You! It is $5.50 (or $5.60) at Costco in San Diego County, depending on the area. $6.00 a gallon or more on the street. That is for 87 octane.

The business folk have been all over this.
The small independents (and even franchisees) have been taxed and permitted away.
Leaving no more competition in the market. We have freedom from choice.
I can see the fire flares from 4 refineries from my 3rd floor apartment.
They discuss that there's a banked surplus to supply us for the holidays.
Shell paid somebody and bought 200,000 tons of Russian oil at $28 a barrel.
Crude has been @ $100 a barrel all year.
The crisis is all staged by Corps greed.

The record earnings in the first months of this year are leading to big dividends and share buybacks for investors.

Yet, i***ts STILL blame the wrong people for this!

If I make 5% profit on $2.49/gal that's ok but if I make 5% profit on $5.49/gal that's gouging? Record profits measured by the dollar amount! just try to think for yourself willya.

The left is antagonistic to energy unless it is subsidised as wind or solar. The high energy prices are the result, this summer electricity will be way up and next winter the heating will be expensive too.
