A great place to take a date for a night cap "pous cafe" lit on fire at their bar with the Parisian scene in florescent paint above your head, reflected in the mirrors high over the bar. Very creative. Allegedly once a bordello.

I saw $3.18 in Memphis a few days ago, paid $3.17 at a Birmingham, AL area Buccees and paid like $3.25 yesterday south of Charlotte. (The joys of moving an aging parent 1/2 way across country into your home to care for them…)

$4.09 outside the Prefontaine last weekend.

Do conservatives even HAVE positions anymore? Whenever Trump changes his mind, they all change with him. Campaign on no new wars, then celebrate when he murders fishermen, invades Venezuela, and bombs Iran. Obama's deal with Iran was the worst thing ever? Trump's worse deal is now awesome. Inflation and high gas prices are bad? Not when they happen under Trump! The Biden crime family is making money off of the government... bad! Trump makes billions, he's just a smart businessman. DOJ accuses the SPLC of funding terror groups, obviously it's a rock solid case. The DOJ charges Trump with insurrection and stealing classified documents, obviously it's a political witch hunt.


Freedom Fuel, eh. Branding seems bigly familiar. Priced at 3.47 to start and now at about 3.57 when it's about $3 wholesale and you have taxes at a .70 gal in PA….. Company formed on June 23rd…. In DE which is smart and standard sop for most Trump ventures……uses a typical registered agent for other Trump ventures …. and Trump says communism bad and he has nothing to do with it when we all know everything he says is an admission of guilt…..this stinks and it's always been a grift …. so what is it this time?? Russian oil? Subsidized? Trump ownership? Roundabout handshakes? Cut fuel with high ethanol? All of the above? ….. Time will tell as this will all get figured out.

The cost of power from natural gas is also very high right now.

The cost of power from natural gas-fired plants in the US hit the highest level in at least 17 years, and is poised to climb even higher as demand surges from new data centers https://t.co/6aZwQ7iMUt

Strange how Wags' threads go quiet when he's not around. Are you going to update the Diablo Valley thread too?

The oil companies and associates paid about $500B to Trump campaign:

Pay for Play and war is good:

"Exxon Mobil on Friday reported that its second quarter profits doubled to $14.53 billion, boosted by record diesel production. The oil giant, based in Spring, Texas, brought in $116.02 billion in revenue, up 42%.

Chevron, based in Houston, nearly quadrupled its profits to $12.07 billion and revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion."

Don't forget the canceling of solar and wind energy projects.
Oil lobby not only wants to constrain supply so that price (and their margins) go up, but they want to eliminate all other forms of competition.

WICKED GAME, as they destroy the earth along the way.

With the current known information to me, I disagree with the cancelling of Biden's energy projects.

"WICKED GAME, as they destroy the earth along the way.

Why do you think the Really Rich Guys are putting all their marbles on space exploration?

They know earth is a used up port-a-potty and they are looking for new planets to make giant toilets out of.

Lower Distribution and Operating Costs:

Lower commercial real estate, labor, and compliance costs for station owners across the state keep retail overhead down.

Market Competition:

High-volume regional chains and plentiful station density drive aggressive pricing to attract drivers.

I paid $5.67 for Chevron Premium yesterday.

Interesting. I wonder what accounts for the price difference?

Because liberal west coast states have made it harder and harder for oil companies to survive here with reduced refinery capacity. Gas in California, and the whole coast, could be so much cheaper if government wasn't in the way.

I have always taken you to be in full support of the elites. You love the Trumps (minus Mel, she's distant and missing according to Scaramucci) in office and the elite supporting policies.
