Add $1.00 without the discount and that's where we're at.

$5.059 for 91 octane in the backwoods of SC yesterday. Had to fill the Cayenne to get home, where it shall remain parked for the rest of Biden's term.

Cheapest diesel around here is just a hair under $7 a gallon today. This will not end well.

at this point is the "9/10" really necessary? 1/10 of a cent accuracy.

Yep. Biden can’t control his bowel movements, according to most here, so how could he be manipulating world energy markets?

Exactly. This is what happens when the leader of the free world does nothing. You seem to get it now!

$4.49 a gallon now in Opelika, Alabama.
I've been driving the speed limit most of the time, but on I-85, it's like a race out there most days.
