Shocking new gas prices [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS. VIOLATORS BANNED]

[punk'n]

must be getting old. I still remember gas being .29 a gallon when I was a kid. Then in high school during the gas crisis of the late '70's, everyone was griping about it hitting $1.00 a gallon!

Or when the cars had gas rationing stickers...

Didn't hit a buck until about 1980, actually it hovered in the upper 90 cent area to a dollar until the mid-80s here. Gas was 32-35 cents a gallon in the late 60s/early 70s. I recall taking 35 cents with me and the gallon gas can on my bike to get gas for the lawn mower. Then about 1971 I got my first car.

See? Even my memory is off!

When I was at Pendleton we called it Dolly Parton. LOL The running rumor in the 80s was that there was Sub access there.

nuclear knockers is what I call em

Looks like very misplaced anger. Prices were rising long before Putin started playing.
Remember, the US was energy independent until not just so long ago. Without naming names I’m sure you can remember gas being less than$2.25 in the majority of the country. Of course not here in California but for most everywhere else life was good.

And if I may add - with the covid restrictions easing other than on aircraft, there will be more travel anyway due to those factors - lower restrictions but still mandates on aircraft. The worries and restrictions are decreasing, that means more travel - maybe not on aircraft, though.

We got the annual bill for our garbage pickup today. It went up 40 bucks a year. Fuel costs. That's not big in the grand scheme of things and our garbage pickup through a private mom and pop company is cheaper than most others would pay but still, it's a reflection on the rising cost of diesel prices.
Truck drivers - they've gone through hxxx this past year or so, the restrictions crossing borders, having to be stuck in their cab waiting for the loads to be unloaded, unable to leave their trucks and wander, and now this.............. I'm thinking about the truck drivers after again talking with one who is a friend.
The cost of getting your goods is going up.

In logistics. Can confirm. It kills me when customers just think we're price gouging. It cost you more because it costs us more.

Very true it was rising. More slowly, but it was on the rise. Crude was going up, production down.
More recent events just accelerated and increased things.

Cute larp… if you were actually serious, you would have waited 2 weeks until oil goes to 150…

When is oil going to $150 now that it's at $109? Asking your expert advice for an investor friend looking to make easy BANK on a 37% increase, figured you'd be in the knowz...

I own a small pet supply shop specializing in high end dog and cat food and in the past 2 years almost everything has had at least one price increase. But as of March EVERYTHING went up across brands, whether it had been 3 years or 3 months since they went up last. Every toy, every molded plastic carrier or litterbox is 1.5 times what it cost this time last year. Dog crates and canned food have nearly doubled. I've lowered my margin on a few things just to keep the price competitive with Chewy and other stores. I've stockpiled my customer's favorite's in case supply runs out. And people gripe about the prices every day from the time I open until the time I get in that Jeep to drive home.

I remember the Gull station down the street was $.89/gal in the early 80s. That would have been around '82. That gas station is now the center and right turn lanes of a large intersection. In high school I paid $1.16/gal which was shortly after the first Gulf War.

At least they don't hide the gas prices like grocery items. "It's still $1.99, but it's a quart, not a gallon."

Oil touched under $100 ($99.76) in intraday trading.

Oil for my house has dropped from $5.19/gallon last week to $4.54/gallon this week

Gas pump prices are slowly going down in my area as well

Peak was here in Germany on wednesday: 10.97 usd/gallon diesel.
I was looking for a cheaper gas station, i payed 138 EUR (about 153 usd) to fill the tank.

Filled up @ 6.59/gal, Premium in the wife's Acura today. Thank God the JT only needs Regular....a mere 6.19! Lol. Unreal. I thought 2008 was bad.

This chit might pull my card. Used car market is insane. My wife's 2014 MDX is worth like 10k more than it was 2 years ago. We can sell it now for 30k, pocket that, and wait 12 months for a Tesla. She can drive the JT and get wrecked on gas in this waiting period. I have a company truck and gas card for work so no worries. End game is the Tesla arrives and we no longer care about gas. The JT was always leisure so we aren't forced to drive it.
