Gas Price Check...

I am currently in NE FL. In the past week gas has risen .36 per gal. From 4.09 to 4.45. What I find most interesting, usually you'll see a penny or two vacation from brand to brand, but while out this am every station I passed was uniformly a 4.45.
Interesting enough the Governor has announced a 30 day state gas tax period, assuming the summer horde of touristas will be
Coming but I can't imagine families keep their travel plans with cost of fuel.
 
...Maybe if we all cut back driving our gas hogs part of our problem would be solved.

Even as we all complain about gas prices, I still see people...

...lined up at drive-thru lanes...

...sitting in their cars, with engines idling, on parking lots...

...accelerating as they approach red lights they know they'll have to stop for...

...racing to get ahead of each other in traffic.

Actions speak louder than words, and our actions don't indicate that we really care about gas prices.
 
For those who are upset over gas prices here in the USA...the photo below is from one of the motorcycling groups I belong to on Facebook. These are fuel prices per liter last week in Berchtesgaden, Germany.

There are 3.785 liters in a US gallon, and the exchange rate at the time was 1.05 Euro to 1 US dollar. So, from top to bottom, diesel fuel is $9.54 and $10.22 per US gallon, while regular, mid-grade, and premium gasoline is $9.20, $9.46, and $10.14 per US gallon.

4.69 for the cheap stuff in Western NY. $5.09 for my wife’s Audi because it requires 91 or higher octane. That Fatboys gonna get some miles this year.
 
Price where I live in Canada is 2.00 per litre Canadian funds, which translates to 5.94 per US gallon USD.
 
Just filled the Frontier after 2 weeks, $4.09.9. Went up to $4.49.9 right after I left. Nice thing, took 6.6 gal, a little over $30. Way better than the Silverado. Joe
 
GAS CHECK PRICE?

The price that I pay per gas check plummeted after I purchased a simple die that punches them-- from aluminum beverage can material-- and forms them in a single step on my single stage press.

Good thing another ~million acres of oil leases in AK got shut down today... :rolleyes:
 
Exxon $4.63/gallon in Lake Ariel PA today.

I put $50 in my 2018 VW Tiguan today. I've had the car 3 years and the most I ever put in it was $40.

Back when I got it in 2019 I could run it down till the little gas pump lit up and fill it with $30.

Today the gas pump lit up, I put in $50,and was still below 3/4 of a tank.

The car averages 30mpg commuting 42 miles a day round trip, I cant fault it.

Awful.
