Liberal math?

Liberal math?

Inflation makes math complicated.

btw - diesel fuel dropped to $4.99 here.

Paid $4.54 yesterday. Still hurt to see the pump show $112 after pumping only 24.5 gallons!

One station about 12 miles out of my way has it currently for $4.37.

Daughter was home over the weekend. We went for a short drive in her Blazer. Filled up the tank while we were out. Took 15.0 gallons - cost $75.00. Luckily, we already had 15 gallons to start with!

Amazon sells 100 packs of the stickers online for $8.95.

Wonder how long that will last?

Diesel is $5.09 here now. The local pump stopped at exactly $100.00 the other day when I filled up. A fluke or was it really full? The gauge reads like it's full. Odd that it stopped at exactly $100.00. Yeah, he did that!

Here in SW Missouri, diesel was $4.59 a little over a week ago. Then it went to $4.79. Thursday, I had to pay $4.99. This morning, it's at $5.19!

This is the first time in my life that I have personally seen fuel go over $5 a gallon.

Mission accomplished. Welcome to the new normal.

[a5150nut]

truck stops are higher than their auto counterparts just down the street here. Casey's (Pilot still owns the pumps just a branding scheme) diesel $5.19 while Pilot Truck stop 200 yard away cash $5.69 credit $5.75

And typically Debit cards shut off at $75 or $100 where credit cards will go higher. Has to do with the amount of risk the vendor is willing to take.

[JohnC]

Yup, back over $5 here again.

[spongebob]

$5.50 in Klamath, Oregon.. that’s $176 to fill up my truck.

I used to say I couldn’t vote for a democrat because I still had a Mother that’s living….

$5.39 here for the past week or so... I need some of those "I did that!" stickers...

I check Gas Buddy pretty much daily to get a feel for the trend. Last Tuesday, the spread was from $5.05 to 6.38 at 8:00 AM. There was only one station near by at $5.05. Around 1:00 PM the same price was still posted (same 8:00 AM posting), so I headed on over. When I got there the pump said $6.28. I looked for the next cheapest near by and it was $5.49. When I got there it was $5.99. I said "f" it and filled up. I figured if I went to the next station it would be even worse.

Right now, in a different part of the state, the spread is showing $4.99 - 6.49. I suspect the $4.99 is incorrect, but I won't be driving 10 miles to find out.

[JohnC]

A little bit of nostalgia I had forgotten about...

To update:
Central New Hampshire $6.49/gal.

[spongebob]

$5.75 now in southern oregon (Klamath) that’s $184.00 to fill me up.

Think about what you're saying... "President Kamala Harris..."

I went through the first 20 or so names on the succession list and basically, we're screwed... (President Nancy Pelosi...)

No president Nancy Pelosi, yet. That would only happen if both, the pres and vice were lost, simultaneously. "President Harris" would appoint a vice, which still leaves Nancy #2 (read that however you like). With any luck (and/or a fair election), that will only be an option until November but, alas. Harris is Biden's defense against the 25th. So, that's where we are. If there was ever a definition of FUBAR...

Yeah. Screwed.

[JohnC]

Harris is Biden's defense against the 25th.

There was a Saturday Night Live skit back when Jessie Jackson was campaigning for President. The jist was he had been elected president and a reporter was asking him if he was concerned about assassination. His response was "No, like my predecessor I have retained Dan Quayle as my vice president..."

(Apologies to Dan Quayle...)
