The same folks who called the falling gas prices post 2008 are predicting prices to rise short term but as new capacity comes online due to increased oil prices and refineries finish summer switchovers for gas to go back under $4/gal nationwide average. $3.80-ish by the end of the year. Obviously we could have some major unforeseen catastrophe, but I'm not in full panic mode yet.
I am in panic-lite, though. Stock up on consumables. They aren't going down in price any time soon. Just found pork shoulders for 99 cents/lb and restocked the chest freezer. Surely the pandemic taught people the value of having a month or two of food supplies at the ready, right?
