$4.19-4.29 regular, $5.39 diesel street in Boerne (North San Antonio) Texas... Lake was $6.25/gallon for 87 (all we have) and that was 3 weeks ago, headed up this weekend, I am sure it has jumped as well. Put 1/2 tank and spent $704 just after Spring Break to top it off.
It's funny. I am in the car business and when my oil change prices raise and other services because the price of the product increases I am instantly an a$$hole and people demand discounts. I think I am in one of the only businesses where our price is nego. I wish I could go to the grocery store or Amazon and order something but then argue to pay less for it and hold a survey over your head too.

And tell you they can’t pay now, but ‘will later.’
And here’s the 100 reasons why I can’t pay you. I think we here more horrible things then psychologists do.
If we can’t fix it for nothing , or under $100-$200 their life is ruined. They are the victim. Everyone is a victim now. If i got a dollar for every ‘you don’t understand’ i’d be a billionaire.
It’s your fault and issue that their car/truck broke. Even if you’ve never met them. Lol.
Rare to have anyone say thank you anymore too.
Has always been a tough business, but past 10-15 yrs has been brutal.
Rant over.

Proof! This is all engineered.
Biden made the following statement on gas prices during a joint press conference with Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday.
"Here’s the situation. And when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over," Biden said, seeming to justify or praise those sky-high prices Americans face at the pump.
Biden's comments come amid a stretch of record-high gas prices which the American Automobile Association says is "unprecedented."

These people have no interest in what's best for the American people. I know I'm preaching to the choir, it's just infuriating.
