sometimes politics is confusing...it seems like only yesterday folks were complaining about gas/diesel powered vehicles as being polluters. Now all of a sudden diesel/gas prices are higher and we're complaining about that.

Since the new litmus on caring about prices is if one had to pay for the fuel directly, I purchased 20 gallons on Sunday. Now that I met your silly test, are you ready to talk about how the dumass war by the dumass president has tipped us beyond an industry shifting event. And how we most likely will never return to the old price points?

Based on the approach of trying to suppress prices, Iran is letting us hang ourselves and we are doing a great job to hurt us and the global industry/economy. We don't have a way to get back to the old normal, this is now the new normal as planes, trucks, diesels all use the same middle distillates (so really, everything that moves other things).

Mark my words, trump says we will get back to $2. Never gonna happen. We likely never get back down under $4 without market manipulation for gas, and diesel is likely never going back below gas. This is only starting, Iran played trump and is playing a long game.

Edit - and one more item, if the head dumass decides to reduce fuel efficiency standards, that alone will cause prices to rise more. This will also not be seen for a while, but it will happen.

Biden's fault!



In all seriousness, Trump’s Truth Social posts so far today make it increasingly clear that he is panicking. The midterms are 6 weeks away. The war has spread to include multiple Iranian-aligned groups in Yemen and Iraq. Energy markets are going through the roof, and set to get worse with the destruction of the East-West Pipeline… Trump is panicking and desperate.

Kwik Trip raised their price this morning from $4.01 to $4.29 for all the Minneapolis campers/Cabin owners that flow through our fair city every weekend. Monday or Tuesday it will drop below $4.00until next Friday and prices will go back up.
Diesel jumped also.
