Navyeod and I took our cars for an 80 mile cruise around a local lake Friday. With Alabama gas prices nearing $4/gallon I estimate it cost me about $30. As I would rather do a hundred trips like that than one $3,000 3-day ship cruise, gas prices have not yet affected my hot rod hobby.

Most of Vegas broke $4/gal last week. But Costco and Sams are always 10-20c below broke $4 overnight (399 last night, 405 this morning) for regular 87 octane. (Both are members only here in Nevada, some states don't allow that...) The discount also disappeared - Sams/Costco are the same as their nearby competitors.

Well I have to agree with the taxes part, but as far as the Oil Giants raking in the profits I think I'll have to disagree. I blame our government, that stooge in the White House, and his paranoid Greenies in his administration pushing this global warming BS. His first day in office he killed the Keystone pipeline, Killed off the drilling on Federal land and has done nothing about the Ukraine situation. The WTI price on a gallon of crude is $118.00 a barrel as of today 3/6/2022 and going up. No, I blame the Stooge!

If I had known this thread was going to take a political turn, I'd have opened with something snarky about all the Putin lovers out there.

Yeah, most of the green crowd thinks beef and pork grow on trees. They've never seen a farm. They have a total lack of understanding of the rural areas of the country and the distances involved. And no concept of big equipment, farm or construction. Yeah, lets make a battery D-9 Cat.

Premium at the local Costco is CAD $1.649 / litre, or CAD $6.24 / US gallon. Based upon current exchange rates, that's about USD $4.90 / US gallon.
I'd rather pay the premium prices and drive the Cobra than not drive the Cobra.
I have no doubt it will get worse before it gets better.
p.s. I'm hanging on to the idea that whatever extra I pay at the pumps will be reflected in higher dividends and prices for my energy investments. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My Ukrainian flag is flying in front of my house, the F*(k Putin flag was just ordered on Amazon, and I'm thinking that a yellow wrap around the bottom half of my Spectre Blue BDR would be the icing on the cake (albeit really not a good look for a Cobra).

Oh, and $5.45 for premium (91 octane) here in Santa Barbara, CA

Look on the bright side, race fuel has been the same price here for the last 3 years 9.99/gal. It hasn't budged yet, and not complaining although you now have to fill out a "form" if purchasing leaded fuel. At least we can still buy it. However, I just paid 5.99/gal for diesel and that is very annoying.

Seriously, people with limited use toys costing upwards of 6-figures are crying about the price of gas? Just wait until you have to fill up the tanks on the yacht...

Electric cars are a joke! Where do you think power to charge them comes from?
Solar panels are built by what? More solar panels? Wind power is a great idea that is even more fuel costly. Where does the power to even build them come from? The electric car fad is a joke.
