Hovering right around $5/gallon in Nebraska for non-ethanol 87. a bit cheaper for E15/87.

I am offsetting the higher prices by driving slower. I did 6.6 MPG better at 68 MPH yesterday in my pickup on a several hundred mile trip. Pretty big difference and only arrived about 30 minutes later than I would have at my normal 78 MPH.

My truck yesterday was the same. Not quite as much improvement but way better at 68 vs even 73. Looks like I'll be in the slow lane awhile.

Lowest price I saw driving across KS was $4.49 for low octane. Went up fast from there.

Is everyone ready to sell their gas cars and buy electric now? How’s your ESG scores? Have we solved climate change yet? When will the solar and wind replace the 61% of fossil fuel-generated electricity in the US? Doesn’t it feel good to DO good? How’s everyone’s food bill? Ready for rolling blackouts?

Thats bullshit. Ogden is only about 45 minutes from me.

In case this hasnt been posted yet…. Last I saw diesel was $6.99 in my neck of the woods.

4.99 for the cheap stuff in central Michigan. $90 to fill up my wife’s car yesterday. Going to have to start turning my kids diapers inside out.

You made the point right there. The admin seeks to EXPORT less oil. Meaning keeping more oil here. Biden administration actually approved more drilling permits on the first 100 days than Trump did all 4 treats of his tenure.

I don’t understand how people tie fuel prices to the man behind the desk in the Oval Office….

It has been said before in this thread but it is worth repeating, these prices are a result of Covid. Demand dropped so low many refineries and wells were shut down. Not that everyone is back to our “normal lives” demand is back up, and through the roof, so the oil companies are making us pay for their losses in 2020-21. No different than the auto industry right now, or housing market. Blame it on the President, whoever it is in office, whatever party he represents, but in reality Big Business is sticking it to us.

If you really want this to change, STAY HOME. Cancel your weekly camping excursions, use less fuel. But do what you have to, to make a living, but think twice about that next trip. Drive demand down.

Can you explain this to me then if this has nothing to do with who is the sitting president!

A week after Russian hackers held America’s east coast oil supply hostage, Biden granted approval of the Russian pipeline. After taking office, Biden shut down America’s Keystone XL pipeline that would have brought gas from Canada into the heart of America.

Filled the diesel up yesterday @5.49$ in Helena. Rafting may be a bit more expensive this yr...

Damn that is close. Diesel is over a dollar more than gas here.

Fall of '08 I bought a '04 crew cab dodge ram that had 40k miles, loaded with a Hemi, for $10k.
Think we might be headed for cheap truck again if this keeps up.

Know a kid that bought a brand new Tacoma for 35,000.00. I could use that kind of pricing again.

Only vehicle I never lost money on. Sold it in '14 with 99k miles for $10,500.
I'm no economic genius, but the average person can't with stand this much longer.

Another kid I know bought a Tacoma in 2019 for 20,000.00 has put about 20,000 miles on it and has it listed with interest for 30,000.00 right now. I told my mom the other day that if you need one piece of information to know things dont make sense, its that used vehicles are an asset right now.

Something will have to give, either wages increase or pricing comes down. That is my theory but people on the west coast have been saying that for 40 years and it hasnt really happened there.
