Yes its been higher than this.
The most I’ve paid recently was $3.77 a couple days ago. Gas was more than $4.00 in the summer of 2008, though. Adjusted for inflation that would feel like $6 a gallon to your wallet today…
I'm assuming your TDS means something different than mine?
I read this morning that we will likely see $5 plus in Mississippi over the summer which is insane.
I was going to say 2010 but 08 sounds right. I use 89 but driving through a remote part of WV seems like it was a little under/over 5 bucks. Was close to sucking fumes on a 22ish gallon tank and hit triple digits first and only time. That I do remember.
Paid 4.65 in Brookhaven during the previous administration. It was right after inflation took off like a rocket, June/July 2022. It 3.96 here now, 'down' 2 pennies since yesterday.
Never in my 40+ years of driving. The last natural disaster to cause anything close to this was Katrina.
The point is why did you feel the need to bring Trump into this? Not a single post in the thread was criticizing him (unless it was someone I have blocked, which is possible).
Unless Hormuz is opened without restrictions in the next 6 months or so it won't be. We are going to see gas prices, adjusted for inflation, that we have never seen before. Unlike in The 70s we won't see shortages, except possibly in California.
My mother used to fuss at me for not going to Costco like she did to save ten cents a gallon or whatever. She couldn't grasp that because she was retired she could just pull up to the pump on some random Tuesday. But for me to go it would be a weekend and there would be 100 cheepskates waiting forever to get gas. It wasn't worth it to me.
Global commodity subject to changes in supply and demand anywhere and everywhere.
There used to be a few gas stations near the rental drop off at MCO in Orlando that were the most expensive gas I've ever seen.
Ck is correct. Oil is a publicly traded commodity and is subject to global Supply demand so no matter how much oil or gas or diesel we have here in the United States it’s traded as a global commodity. It also doesn’t help for us that there’s a good many tankers heading this way into the Gulf from other countries to come buy oil and gas and diesel from the United States. Some people are celebrating this like it’s some kind of win but all it’s going to do is put pressure on prices here because of a drop in Supply.
Whats really crazy is the late 90s is known for historically low gas prices.
