Cost Of Gas

Staying warm

I can stay home , not drive and be safe . If you heat your home with fuel oil , you better have a good warm sweater or a warm spouse :cold: .
 
Pumps and dispensers were mechanical back then. Been digital since about 1980. I was in pump and tank over 13 years. Look at the displays next time you gas up,you'll see how high price can go!

Please don’t give them any ideas😱
 
The price of fuel is now affecting my lifestyle. A day of riding plus lunch is now costing me about 50 bucks. Last year that same fuel and meal costs were about half that much. So, I have now cut my regular group riding from three days/week down to two.

This morning I fought the crowd and long lines at my local Costco fuel station and filled my Buick for 30 cents less per gallon than other stations in the area. That Costco has 20 fuel pumps and there were 4-5 vehicles waiting for each pump station. And, of course, I got into the slowest moving line.....

And.....I'm starting to reassess my plan of doing an extended (4-6 week) road trip this summer. Fuel, lodging, and meal expenses are quickly putting the trip expense beyond my budget. Oh well, at least I still have my sanity...... :xzqxz: ...... Jim
 
$4.699 for 93 Octane at Exxon here in the heart of the Texas hill country today.

We don’t plan to cut down on rides but have decided to take a picnic lunch along and forego the restaurants. No high meal prices, no bad food, no tips.. we did this during the covid shut-down mess and really enjoyed it. Restaurants were closed then but convenience stores with gas pumps were all open so got gas and pit stops there… except for a couple of emergency bush stops…;)
 
To tell the truth I really don’t look at the prices as I drive by I just glance at them and shake my head..The last time I needed gasoline was last Saturday and that was to fill my son’s truck…And I just looked at the amount owed One hundred and two dollars…But sooner or later I’ll need to fill the wife’s Hoopie ‘ My Truck and the Trike $$$$$$
 
Gas so dam high the mailman working from home. He called me yesterday and read my bills to me.

Went To Costco Today And All Eight Lines Were Backed Up To The Road. Price Was $4.12 Gal.
 
Over here in Scotland it's £1.60 per litre ($2.09)....which works out at £7.26 per gallon ($9.47).....it's daylight robbery....(Swearing)

How much of that is taxes.. here in My home state of New Jersey the total tax is about $.61 a gallon…..
 
...£2.70 ($3.52) of the price per gallon is fuel tax...then they add a further 20% on top of the price for another tax....it's one of the biggest rip-offs going

I heard that you get free medical care over there is that where the tax money is going to the “FREE”medical care?…Over here the tax money goes to substandard road repairs!..

....the *free* medical care isn't too bad, although it's been sliding downhill for a few years.....the roads however are like the surface of the moon, craters everywhere...our tax money goes to the rich in tax breaks and back-handers

Hey if you can’t give your tax money to the rich who can you give it to ?’ If you give it to the homeless they can’t replenish it because they don’t pay any taxes..🤔..
