After months of not filling the diesel, I relented, having to use it. Its $5.30 for diesel and $4.15ish for gas.  20 gallons in the truck was $110   :disgust:

Gas here is $4.11 in my neighborhood, but a few miles up the road it's $4.20.  Can't figure out why it varies so widely from area to area.  Diesel is running about $5.20.  I got a good laugh after finding out that 87 octane avgas is $5.80 a gallon at my usual hangout airport, while my brother in Kalifornia is bitching about $6.50 gas out there!

We pay by the litre up here......buuuuuut, ir works out to $6.71 US per US gallon!!!

.....that's on the wet coast where we are visiting.......considerably cheaper back home....

We were under $4 for a long time, then started creeping/galloping last week. We're @ $4.50 at the moment, but it may go up a nickle today.

Needless to say, my Ram is on static display in the driveway.... :eusa_wall:

I lied.  It went up to $4.29 this afternoon (insert negative comments about government here).... :disgust:

Went up to $4.43 since yesterday for regular.  30 cents in a day.  Want to kill an economy, this is how it happens.

I was wrong. We went from $4.499 in the morning to $4.699 by 5:00 pm yesterday.

The band I just signed on to rehearses in a mountain town called Florissant, about an hour up hill.

I feel somewhat doomed....

You are still paying $2 a gallon less than what I have to pay!!

But we'er Murica! land of cheap gas.  This keeps up, the world is going to be getting hungrier besides having to walk more.  So what is this, a global war on fat people?

Up to $4.59 last night.  I'm really happy now I don't have to drive back and forth to work anymore.

Those morons in DC don't have to fill their own tanks, so they aren't too worried about us peons. But it would be funny to see what would happen if the food for one of their fancy dinner parties didn't show up because the truck driver delivering it couldn't afford to fill up...

I just looked on gas buddy, its $4.48 this morning and saw a story over the weekend WY should brace for $6 gas later this summer.

I saw a story from a state based news site Cowboy state daily, I call cowboy statist daily, quoting a petroleum wholesaler in Chyenne that $6 gas is a certainty. this summer.

Things keep going like they are and the morons in DC will have to go to the dinner parties in a hardened bunker chauffeured in APCs, formal wear will be body armor.

Up the equivalent of 33 cents overnight here....😒

Oil is only $120 a barrel, so there has to be some sinister plot somewhere to keep the prices so artificially high.....

Gas actually dropped this week, down to $4.49 in most places.  Premium, for those people dumb enough to have cars that need it, is $5.03.

I'm thrilled that our country's head moron enjoyed his beach vacation because I've had to cancel all of mine.

We stayed at $4.58 for now. 

I have been told I am just dumb, and don't "get" what is going on because oil companies set gas price, and should be taxed more so they produce on their dry leases so the price will come down because they are intentionally not producing at an all time record high oil price. 

I can imagine how they see the secret meeting of the oil companies star chamber going like this. 
"Well OK, we made enough money, lets not produce anymore, we don't need any more billions"
"Yeah, and lets go ahead and pay for a bunch more leases we won't use too"
