Trump wants to return as Speaker of the House! https://nj1015.com/nearly-6-a-gallon-this-could-be-the-most-expensive-gas-in-nj/ I just read a article that had said at no time was the "National average" of gas when Trump was in office at $1.84 a gallon because of a viral email that shows a Exxon sign at that price of $1.84 a gallon & it says "Just kidding those were the prices the day Biden took office" . Well maybe they weren't that low but read the article above for todays prices . Oh that's right i'm so sorry that's because of that dam Putin & covid ... The article of course in typical Trump Hater fashion disputes that & if the guy that wrote the article was standing in front of me i'd tell him that although the "National Average" wasn't at that price that his Trump hate is apparent in his writings & gas was much closer to that than it is today . Here in the Nashville area i can remember the price being at 1 point as low as $1.79 a gallon before & during the pandemic and now it is over $4.19 in places but Joe will dwindle our strategic reserve to lower prices making every one think he truly cares when in reality he does this for the reason of mid term elections & that is his only motivation . Here is a view of what the prices were where i live in the later parts of 2019 before Joe took the reigns . Compare the 2 the upper article & the lower one which would you rather have small cars be dammed ! They sure aren't helping a dam thing now i'm thinking it's pure policy behind this screwing !! https://www.timesnews.net/living/arts-entertainment/tennessee-gas-prices-set-new-2019-high/article_d11e5ced-8ed8-534d-8899-c3c0fa8ea2c7.html The big thing that i don't truly understand is Diesel is the left over from the distillation process of making gas & it is over $5.00 a gallon when it use to be less because it was left overs but i guess the US gov't saw the rise & efficiency of Diesel motors and started raising the prices . Which is exactly as they did with getting a patent on medical cannabis years ago because they knew they would cash in when the truth of cannabis was told . I'm so glad our politicians are so transparent & honest nothing to see here folks ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Kids wanted KFC last night....I relented tho not a fan but no time to cook. And since I know 4 people going to say a Wendy's or McDonald's will cost around $35 I said let's go see. $47 for the 16 piece family meal. The sides are suffering from shrinkflation - which is getting out of control everywhere. The 2 bowls of Mac and cheese barely serve 3 people. Supermarket today just for ingredients for Chili: 8 cans store brand whole peeled tomatoes 6 different types of peppers - like 6 green bell; a handful of some others. 5 red peppers. 5 yellow onions. Garlic - I buy the already peeled in a bag its $3.99. Worth it to not peel... 2 bags of chips. Hersheys chocolate syrup. Thats it. $78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Inflation Can’t Be Censored by David Catron An increasingly disturbing feature of American politics is the routine suppression of major news stories that reflect poorly on candidates favored by the Fourth Estate. The most egregious example in recent years occurred in October of 2020 when corporate news outlets and social media platforms colluded to bury a New York Post article on Hunter Biden. Fortunately, some stories just aren’t susceptible to such censorship. Inflation is a case in point. It can’t be hidden from the voters because soaring prices shout the bad news from every grocery store shelf and gas pump in the nation. https://spectator.org/inflation-cant-be-censored/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Two weeks ago gas here $4.19 today $4.70 , and that's with 1M barrel a day from reserve. Have a 14 year old Chevy Cobalt , went to the Chevy dealer no small cars or Electric just expensive pickups and SUV . Asked the salesman what's going on don't car companies have to meet high gas mileage average ? Nope Trump did away with that gas saving nonsense, a lot more profit selling trucks and the big SUV with the chip shortage .

ALF Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Record diesel prices, tight supplies could be next blow to the US economy Leading energy economist Phil Verleger worries that the tight supply could send the average US price of diesel to $10 a gallon by the end of the summer, up from its current record average price of $5.56, according to AAA. Diesel prices that high could put the brakes on the US economy, he said. The average price of diesel has soared to between $7.27 and $8.95 a gallon across Western European countries, and it isn't much cheaper in most of Eastern Europe. Those high prices have prompted a huge surge in exports of diesel to Europe from US and Canadian refineries that would normally be supplying US truck stops and trucking companies. Exports of US diesel to Europe since the start of April are up 36% compared to the same period a year ago, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Oil refineries are making as much diesel, and similarly expensive jet fuel, as possible with the oil they have, which is driving up the price of gasoline. But there is less US and Canadian refining capacity today than there was before the pandemic, as some refineries closed permanently, and others are being converted to refine renewable fuels rather than crude oil All these factors mean that the supplies of diesel are very tight, particularly in the Northeast, where the EIA said the inventories are at a record low based on data that goes as far back as 1990. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/12/energy/record-diesel-prices/index.html So exporting diesel from US to Europe to make a higher profit and drives up price of gasoline here , way to go big oil. Maybe big oil can ask for even more oil from the strategic reserve so they can export even more at a big profit.
