We are merely being inconvenienced compared to of some other countries who are having a real energy shortage because of our
country's actions. It can go up to $10, even higher all I care. This is what we deserve for releasing this orange racist psychopathic piece of s*** onto the world.

Since they are usually the lowest of the 5 stations nearby, I expected to see >$5 elsewhere, but I think there is a psychological block to post a more that $5 price, so everyone is at the same number.
But, very early this morning I went to a 24 hour pharmacy in the larger city 20 miles away. Near the interstates, I saw prices of $5.019 to $5.119!

Yes, that's $0.48 in one week. WTF

Or that's a 45% increase in 65 days.

My work truck is a diesel with a 32 gallon tank. if I run it down to zero that's a $175 fill up. OUCH!

That would be $170 if both tanks were empty. I had that truck the last time gas hit $5 & I remember paying $160 to fill up.

And in those days the pumps stopped at $100, so I had to run my credit card twice.

I sold it long ago & got a much more efficient V6.
