Eastern Middle GA. $3.97 for 87 octanes and we have 2 Massive GA Tank Farms with slide bars all showing FULL.

We also have 2 illegally elected (LSD) Senators also.

This $3.97 represents a $1.85 (114.59%) increase in price since Biden & the LSD's stole the election and went UBER Environmental Tree Hugger.

Note: SSA checks only increased 5.9%.

A retired Liberal person would have to be a short a lot of Fries in their Happy Meal to vote for BIDEN again?

#2 Cause they're evil. Drop the state taxes so the poor, who's status they always inject, can afford to work. Buses got to use fuel too.

#3 NN2N1 the amount deducted from my Social Security went up more than the amount Social Security did. I am now getting less than before the Social Security increase.

#4 Oil (wti) is almost $125/bar as of now.

If the price stays this high, it tanks the economy by late summer.

#5 As I think B has mentioned, Joe Bidet is caught in the monkey trap. He's fiercely grasping the green walnut even though his hand is stuck in the bottle. He will not give up his green base even when his approval ranting drops into the teens.

#6 The Saudis won't come to Biden's puppeteers' rescue. Now they are going begging to Iran and Venezuela. At least they will understand each other, in a low-life to low-life way.

That 800,000 bpd capacity of the cancelled Keystone 2 pipeline sure would be handy right about now.

#7 Highest taxes, highest crime rates, highest poverty rates...

Gee, it is almost like the demoncrats only exist to suck the wealth out of an area to enrich themselves.

#8 A person I know used to say of playing The Sims: "Crank the taxes and cut the police and watch the spectacle."

#9 ^-- I think you mean Sim City but good point. It's almost like it's a law of nature or something.

#10 What I love is that the liberals in California didn't seem to realize that Electric vehicles don't buy gas but do use the roads. So tesla's are everywhere, tax revenue dropped, and road repairs lacked funding, and now they are looking into some kind of tax per mile driven without any discussion of removing the gas taxes to balance things. no wonder everyone with any sense is leaving.

#11 Look at the bright side:

A gallon of bottled water will soon cost less than a gallon of gasoline.

Social Justice Grievance Solved!

#13 Cali plans to prove you can have infinitely high taxes, no infrastructure and the best quality of life on the planet. It will be a grim, ugly failure, but at least they have a plan.

#14 "Purchasing oil from Venezuela is a State Department op to give aid to Maduro's opponents and overthrow the government so the US can install it puppets!"

He can't. That was the price he paid for Bernie dropping out of the primaries.

#16 As I recall, only a few US refineries can handle the heavy Venezuelan oil. Are they still online? If not, it's no quick fix.

It's still quite nice here...if you can afford it. The only way it will ever be affordable for all the people who want to live here is to turn it into a Third World shit hole and Newsom is doing his damndest to do just that.

#19 $7/gal gas might drive more converts away from the Jackass Party to something more sane.
