VOTE,VOTE,VOTE. global warming is a fantasy. only to control us by fear. it costs more money and environmental damage to produce an electric car. where will all the lithium go when you get new batteries? in the ground, just like old solar panels only 2 places in the U.S. that recycles if they reach that point. I'm tired of the U.S. suffering for the rest of the world. joe and hunter love china ask them why gas is where it is.

E 85 savings in Chicagoland is usually a wash

Every once in a while it’s a bargain but e85 prices are slow to change so if gas shoots up sometimes you get a good deal

$3.89? The Humanity! As I said here before, CA long forgot what $3.89 gas was. But good for you. Count thy blessings.

Yup oldman14ss is right about global warming and being in the computer field for over 30 years, the computer chips will be coming from mostly Taiwan, who is being sized up by China as we speak. I just think it comes down to us all wanting to choose what we want to drive, OUR CAMAROS. Today, I did get my first sticker shock as my wife has a Jeep and just fills it up with regular and I'm lucky enough to have a company vehicle who gives me a gas card(worrying about that too). Anyway, dusted off "Aurora" and filled half tank 93 and it was $4.15 I believe. I was pissed. Alls I know that a few years ago, I was seeing prices I haven't seen since the 90s.

Voting doesn’t do a damn thing! If it does? Prove it cause people have been voting for centuries and look where it’s gotten us? And if you think it’s just coincidence and that we voted wrong the whole time? You’re a special kind of stupid. Not you. In general. Voting does NOTHING. POTUS is predetermined. You think they’ll let ppl decide who is the most powerful in the country when they’ve stripped away most of our freedoms? This country is a toilet.

Cheap fuel was short lived in Ohio this weekend. Last night it shot up to $4/87. $4.49/93.

Low octane is well expected to hit $5 this week. For the small percentage of fuel we get as imports from certain areas this price hikes doesn't really seem to match up.

Much more and my car is parked unless it's Fri-Sun.

Inflated prices to further cripple the middle class. Mark my words. America shall be a third world country within 20yrs. And that is being very conservative. Eliminate middle class so there is the top 10% and poor 90%.

Exactly.
At work, we say that if the vote changed something, they would have canceled it long ago.

$8.00 gal.

The march to communism is ramping up hard. The ruling class, and the victims beneath their feet.

We can complain all we want...but when there's no term limits, people in power build kingdoms. That is why in the military they move people in command around so they cant build their own private kingdom and surround themselves with yes men. Most politicians in congress are bought, and stay bought forever to capitalistic companies that put profit over everything else. Look at the profit margins right now for all oil and gas companies. In the BILLIONS. To blame a war or inflation is bullshit, its corporate greed and if you cant see that, you need glasses. Those companies could help out with prices, but to do so would cut into their bottom line and thats a line they will never cross. To blame any sitting president for gas prices, or prices for groceries, is a joke. Its the companies and their bottom line. Whats Chris Tucker say in Rush Hour? Follow the old rich white dude and his money and youll find the guilty...so true. Prove me wrong!

I agree to a point, but why were prices so low under Trump? Companies suddenly didn’t want as much profits? I think domestic policy absolutely affects prices in a free market system. I’m no fan of Trump the person, but his record far exceeds this guy, who isn’t in charge anyway. PA has the highest gas tax in the USA and some of the worst roads. Now PennDOT is proposing putting tolls on interstates to fund road repair. Isn’t that where all the gas taxes are supposed to be going?
