Sunday diesel was $4.59 a gallon in Tampa. Yesterday was $5 a gallon. Haven't been out of the house today yet.

With 250+ yrs worth of oil left, you’d think we have time to let the free market figure it out. Kinda like we’ve done for the last 250+ yrs.

jtbooten 03-09-2022 06:21 AM

I’m not one to comment but the electric car comment was thrown out there yesterday. That answer is not going to happen tomorrow…. I have 3 paid for vehicles, yes I would love to go buy an expensive electric car so I can avoid $5 per gallon of gas, increase my electric bill significantly to charge it, and plan my trips and time around charging stations. Then when it gets some miles on it, maintenance cost will be high and I will not be able to work on it. Local garages won’t be able to work on it either. The trucks that haul our supplies and food 500+ miles a day going to be electric also?

I’m not against electric cars. I try to be open minded. The idea will work well in some areas and for some people. Not so good where I live.

I can’t go along with the electric either but you know where their going with all this eventually. For one they want everyone in the city for surveillance etc. IF YOU CAN IMAGINE - what would you expect to see for transportation 20 years from now? Stretch your mind a little (a lot)!!! When will it be like the si-fi movies (Maglev). 🙄

Dude exactly. Wtf. I went to Detroit last fall and was like whaaat! People drive nuts. I use to be down there frequently many years ago work related and just become a normal way of driving. It’s gotta be worse now. Sure seemed like it anyway.

Fk - I’ll hang with the Amish horse and buggies any day over that crap. So glad I live up north. 👍

i see a huge crash coming 6.00 a gallon will affect everyone one way or another

DrFeelgood 03-09-2022 08:24 AM

I was thinking that this morning. I've slowed down a bit, my daily driver is a C5 Z06, I do about 130 miles daily, and now I'm running about 70-71 in a 70 zone, still getting passed by 12mpg lifted trucks doing 80-85.

I wonder what price makes some folks slow down?

Over $3.00 effects my local economy somewhat. Near, or over $4 kicks it in their private parts then smashes their head on the ground. Not making this up. I know my area real well. Sucks. :(

Cops righting tickets will make them slow down! Cops don't want to bother with this crap anymore. I haven't seen one anywhere here on the highways since the scamdemic began.....maybe even before that when Burn Loot Murder was going crazy! The Semi's are freakin doing 70-75 around here on the highways! For me to keep up with traffic in the fast lane its a min 80mph! :eek:
Not that i'm complaining cause i love speed and have a lead foot most times LOL I think in the last month I've hit the speed limiter on my Avalanche 3-4 times getting to work :D

I'm thinking over $5.00 for 87 is going to be the psychological number where people will really just lose it ...

2+ years of Convid , all the lying politicians that we all wanna take a piece of their azz yapping ...Yeah it's closer than we think...

Yeah maybe a little more than 5. Was it in 08 or 09 I was a little over 4? It does suck right now as I don’t even drive much but when I fill the plow truck it’s well over 100 and to just fill my Traverse it’s like 70.

Again - hope all who wanted this admin is having “voters remorse”.

June/July of 08 National average for reg was just over $4 a gallon, right before the crash. Diesel around us was running right at $5 then, and my wife's AMG SLK took 93 that was also at that price. It was crazy then to, remember going to work for about 6 hours one day and coming back, went up 0.6 in that time!

About 6 years ago on the same road DrFeelGood is talking about I had a Prious pass me, used to every day. One day I thought I would catch up with him, he was running right at 105, didn't even know those things could go that fast.

The power grid isn't ready for the mass-charging of electric vehicles. Hell, look at California... the state can't even handle its power needs on a good day! Can you imagine what it will be like when a quarter of the state population moves to electric vehicles? And that's just California.

Keys to sustainable usage of electric vehicle adoption:

1. Wide-scale/massive scale adoption of nuclear power.
2. Massive upgrades to the transmission infrastructure.
3. A real, workable solution for recycling batteries to keep from depleting resources and reduce hazardous waste.

Even with the above, fossil fuels will be required for the long term. The upgrades needed will take years upon years to build into what's needed for mass-scale adoption. This is a conversation for 50-75 years from now. We are not ready now and will not be ready in our lifetimes. These idiots thinking otherwise need to get their heads out of their collective asses. And I'm a fan of electric vehicles.

People are suffering, right now, for an agenda that is a complete political sham and for things that are just not possible.

Come to Virginia Beach - they're busy here. The Virginia State Police was out in force Monday morning running a collective effort to make one part with their money while trying to get to work. All right around the main work hub for many in the city (near VB Town Center).

Democrats have and always will be a bunch of pu$$ies.
Just go outside, they`re the one scared of the sniffle virus, still wearing useless masks when they don`t have to , still driving around or walking outside with masks on... mostly paper pushers, no democrats do things like military, police , fireman, logger, any manual work unless they`ve been brainwashed by some union organizer , they drive lame a$$ cars like toyotas and minivans.
Only thing they`re good at is ruining everything for the hard working , tough people of the USA.
Spend their time trying to come up with new things that offend them, telling everyone there`s more than 2 sexes, they burn and destroy cities, cause most of the crime, live off the rest of us hard working americans and now because of them this entire country is going down the $hitter.
Liberalism is a disease and most of the problem is they`re fuc king dumb!
No smart person would get rid of Trump and replace him with this imbecile.

I was gonna dissect icdedppl’s post but nah…. I mean what do ya say…. Something that spot on is kinda difficult to say anything about. 😂.

Question is - does this invasion seem fishy or what. Something is off with it and the last several days I wondered if all this chit is being staged. Same pictures everyday and everything basically looks the same. For instance the childrens hospital that was bombed. I’m not buying it. Putin might be a total dick but…. Just snap some pics with your cell phone when they show the destruction (surroundings). Nothing makes sense. Oh yeah and then they went from an Olympic type figure skater to having a combat riffle in their hands ready to be a war hero.

btw - that children's hospital or whatever it was looked like an old abandoned bldg as many of them have.

We sure miss President Trump, (the real President of the USA) and this is how you greet a dictator:

Il Donaldo meme… – CITIZEN FREE PRESS

Notice how he pulls Putin to him during the handshake, like a Dad grabbing his punk son by the hand and getting ready to give him some ADVICE about life......

Saw that. Ol Donald knew what he was doing. Kinda surprised it wasn’t the other way around though. Had that happen only twice to me but was prepared both times. Usually it’s the little guy who tries to pull that. I call them LGS. Little guy syndrome. You know the type!


Anyway that was bad azz though. Bet Putin won’t forget it either. 😂

Honestly, I really don’t exactly
know what to think, but I have heard your suspicions echoed by people who I know have gotten these kind of things right in the past. You can bet there’s more to it that what being told in the media, at the very least.
