A lot of them are stupid enough to not know how that affects inflation, but what’s ultimately most important to them and the ones smart enough to understand that fact is the votes they can buy from the ones who definitely are that stupid. A lot of smart Democrats are affluent enough in ways that inflation won’t affect them very much, and may actually be a benefit. The price of gas and groceries is pretty insignificant to them.

New Castle Co., Delaware: $3.99

Just over the line in SE PA is usually about $0.25 more...PA gas taxes.

Saw diesel over $5 for the first time here in Utah yesterday.

Prices have dropped a little since my last post, to around $3.75. That is, of course, still high.

Safeway was $4.09 for regular this afternoon, when I drove by this evening, it was up to $4.17

Filled up at Costco, it was $4.09.

We use Kirkland Premium in my wife's car and a fillup a week ago cost $4.25/gal. in West Plano.
It was $3.95/gal. today at a Costco in Lewisville, a 12 minute drive west.

Dropped but still high seems to be the trend.

3.89 here in mid MO as we drove to the lake last night.

Simply absurd.

Russia needs oil prices to be high to make money. We have oil, We can produce oil if we aren't run by dipshits. Produce oil, see Russian oil prices tumble, profit...

Fucking idiots running this country.

Mapped: Gas Prices Across America Reach All-Time Highs

In recent days, gas prices have skyrocketed to all-time highs.

According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the national average price of regular unleaded gas has reached $4.25 per gallon as of March 21st, 2022. This is the first time since 2008 that gas prices had exceeded the $4 per gallon mark.

The price of gas was already rising two weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, owing to the increased demand due to the lifting of COVID restrictions. But, as Visual Capitalist's Raul Amoros details below, when the war broke out, the price of regular gas jumped 41¢ during the first week. This surge in prices could add up to $2,000 in annual cost to the average American household.

While the price at the pump sits at $4.25 per gallon on average, it’s worth mentioning that prices range quite substantially depending on the state. California has the highest average price at $5.86 per gallon. On the other extreme, Kansas has an average price of $3.77 per gallon.

Gone down a few cents around here . $3.76 Reg.

Imagine how costly for the gas stations to change out their pumps to go above 10 bucks per gallon Maybe we will finally get rid of the .9

The price was holding for the better part of two weeks. Was hoping it would start inching down. Nope. Went up 4 cents since yesterday. Bastard. FJB.

Same price here. Was $4.45 last week. Now back to $4.49 for regular.

Driving from here to Mesa on a truck that gets 16.5mpg when I drive like I'm taking my grandma to a church potluck with a cockpot of chili in her lap doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. We have two warm fuzzies to take with us, and I'm debating whether the better thing to do is simply just have the relocation company move both vehicles and we fly instead.

I topped off my tank today @ $4.99!!

We saw the temporary effect from Biden releasing oil. It adds to the temporary supply, as soon as it gets sucked up by the thirsty market things equilibrize and return to current market situation. We are seeing the return to market conditions afterwards currently. The only thing that will get the price to drop is future anticipation of greater supply. Biden can't make moves to increase supply because that will piss of the far left and he's already losing the middle as we speak. Oil companies can expand production for the future, but are hesitant as they don't know what the future regulation and permitting will be. Without a clear message to the market that the spigot is open again and won't be closed capriciously with no warning.

All oil prices are dependent on future projections. Companies look at increased hurdles to business, the don't take on risky and capital intensive projects. The market sees this and anticipates lower supply and reacts accordingly.

^^^ equilibrize ...This newly coined term refers to the ABSOLUTE Fucking of the American consumer WRT Energy prices by the POTATUS Administration!

Not familiar with recent usage I was referring to economics, not any recent buzzwords. Point being, after temporary effect it will revert to current market conditions.

^^^I get it Skins, just being a wise ass here, hence the wink/sarcasm/wise ass emoticon!

Honestly, I didn't even think is was a word and assumed you fat fingered it, but then I googled it...Turns out it's an actual word, so I learned something too!
