hopefully it goes to eight or so so can people can remember last week as the good old days

Today is May 19


4.19-4.49 today. Started jumping up last night

I just filled up my lawn mower and it almost made me cry

New high, $74 to fill up the Challenger. Wasn't on E either.

Been using my Trans Am to get to work lately since i never drive it. Did that for about two weeks and then nope'd the **** on that. Damn near doubled the money i spent on gas. Back to the driveway you go, baby.

I don't think you're allowed to post here anymore until you're sporting a Camaro, hustler.

Get with the program!

That is what you get for using an ICE based vehicle. Now, go buy an EV and be a good citizen. :D

$5.15 here now. :shake:

Bought gas yesterday in the next county over and paid $4.60. Now sure how $4.60 for a gallon of ****ing gas is a bargain, but apparently it was.

#Dongerthings

Sure would be nice to have one of those cars that runs on garbage, I wanna go back to the future.

I just want to go back to three years ago.

That would work too!

Well, at least workers in the petroleum industry have stopped whining. They were crying tears of blood when the price of oil bottomed out.

$5.19 in east Mesa AZ this morning

Going to be sticking close to home for the foreseeable future

stupid SOB. There are 9.8 million workers in the petroleum industry. What do you think happens if they lose their jobs because your dipshit POTUS cancels their jobs?

****ing reerun

Someone's America

Speaking of reeruns, who was president when oil futures were negative?

Go back to fox news while the adults have a conversation.

Why don’t you guys leave presidents and political shit out of this thread instead of trying to claim cheap victories for your shit political side.

Since Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 10 cents to $4.58. According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total domestic gasoline stocks decreased by 4.8 million bbl to 220.2 million bbl last week. On the other hand, gasoline demand increased from 8.7 million b/d to 9 million b/d. Tighter supply and increased demand have pushed pump prices higher. This supply/demand dynamic, combined with volatile crude prices, will likely continue to keep upward pressure on pump prices.

At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI decreased by $2.81 to settle at $109.59. Crude prices dropped yesterday as market concerns about the likelihood of a recession increased. If a recession occurs, crude demand would likely decrease amid decreased economic activity and cause crude prices to decline. Additionally, crude prices decreased despite EIA reporting that domestic crude supply decreased by 3.4 million bbl to 420.8 million bbl. The current level is approximately 13.4 percent lower than during the second week of May 2021.

I am definitely impressed how gas prices have not slowed down the frequency in which I see RVs and pick up trucks towing either boats or fifth wheel campers. Seems like people are going out and doing what they are gonna do regardless of the prices, wonder when that sweet breaking point will be for these people. They are already saying to expect $6/gal national average by the end of summer, and the way things are headed it seems likely.

alot of my friends got electric vehicles so they can afford the gas on the weekend toys

Why? If it's part of the problem, this is the thread to discuss it also.

I paid my personal record high of $4.18 earlier today.

When is someone going to change the title of this thread from $5.00 to $6.00?

Because most people who want to talk about that stuff can’t carry on an adult conversation and it turns into the shit show that it always does. It turns into my side is great, your side is terrible. You are terrible for picking that side, you should listen to me because I’m so smart.

If it is part of the problem, and you can’t handle talking about it like what was starting to happen. Make a DC thread and throw shit in there, the lounge thread isn’t the place for it

Listening on the radio this morning it is said there is a fuel station near Tracy Ca selling diesel today at $9.99/gallon

Eastern diesel refineries are at a 30 year low on supply right now. Shortages may be on the way and then things get really bad.

Glad the weather is finally good and I can commute on the motorcycle.

"Cancels their jobs" :rolleyes:

We're supposed to feel bad for them when prices are low, but they don't give two shits about everyone else when prices are high. Take your Midol, bundle of sticks.

Them F-350's have big gas tanks to fill ouch. Worse is that big rig truckers are just going to pass the cost along to us. I think anything over $10 is the breaking point as signs aren't built to go over 9.99. Maybe they just get rid of the 9/10 cent sign.

Over the weekend I went to St. Louis. Quik Trip had regular unleaded for $4.49. Got home to KC Sunday night and local Quik Trip was $3.79. 240 miles and $.70/gallon cheaper.

Finally crossed the $4 mark in the West Bottoms.

Now at $4.09.

Yeah I would be upset with Trump as well

Over 100 oil companies going bankrupt in 2020

https://www.ogv.energy/news-item/ove...nkrupt-in-2020

That is a station that sells 100+ octane for a nearby race track.

Just the media being the media.

Political post is political. There are rules that have been gone over repeatedly that govern this topic.

$5.20/gal today. **** this administration

We're a part of an incredible transition, enjoy the ride.

Oh yeah, back when I was a young man gas pumps weren't designed to go over 99 cents a gallon!

When they first did, they started doing things like setting the price on the pump to 55 cents and then charging you double of whatever the pump showed at the end.

Everything was done by a gas attendant, so it was up to him (yeah, I think it was always a him) to double the amount shown.

Whatever. Go ahead and skip the important bit, which is that this administration threatened to cancel their entire industry even before they were elected. But go ahead and whine about whether my post was political or not.

As if that matters at all right now.

What do you think happens when gas hits $6.00/gallon in two-three months?

You think that happens in a bubble? Like it's only going to effect how much you spend on a tank of gas? Everything in our lives is going to cost multiples of what it cost a year ago.

Stupid dipshit.

Go sit on a cholla you idiot.

Sorry, forgot the important bit.

GO **** YOURSELF.:thumb:

New national average record high of $4.619.

Kansas state average $4.128

Missouri state average $4.176

It is $4.12 here today.

You chodes have an entire section to circle jerk over wrong opinions. Leave it there.

There's even a sticky thread (only one) that clearly states, "Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums" and you still can't ****ing help it.

May 30 in Columbia, MO

$4.22-$4.27

3.90 for 88 octane at a Casey's in Omaha.
87 and 91 octane keep moving upwards.
88 has been stuck at 3.90 or just under for a month at my local Casey's

Ha! **** poor people amirite?!

The record highs never end.

The national average ticked up slightly to $4.622.

It’s the new normal get used to it

Drive to job or feed kids/pay bills and not be able to drive to job, not feed kids pay bills.. :hmmm:

Just a reminder: the national average hit $4.14 in 2008. Adjusted for inflation, that's ~$5.56/gallon in 2022 dollars.

Thanks Obama

I'm sure it won't be long until we exceed that.

Probably within a couple of months if I had to guess.

Earlier this morning I saw the price at one station had risen to $5.55, and a station directly across the street was at $4.97. Assuming that the cheaper one just hadn't risen its price yet, I filled up there.

This shit is insane. :shake:

New record high national average of $4.671

Easy choice right there. As you're filling up do you look at the people filling up across the street and shake your head?

My smallish town is always behind everyone else, but noticed this morning on the way into work gas jumped from $3.99 to $4.19 overnight.

These days I shake my head anytime I see a gas station.

3.97 in JoMo.

$ 4.29 Greenville KY.

There are multiple sources with similar stories:

https://www.businessinsider.com/gas-...-charts-2022-5

Just drove past the same station. The price did indeed jump 58 cents to match the one across the street.

4321

That's one hell of a price increase!

Yeah, we were in town today (Branson West) and it went from 3.99 to 4.29 while we were there.

$4.19 on the way to work, $4.27 on the way home from work yesterday.

New record high national average of $4.715

Kansas state average $4.258

Missouri state average $4.301

Filled up for $4.03 yesterday in El Dorado. Strange to feel like that was a bargain as everywhere in Wichita seems to be $4.35 this morning.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/02/oil-...tput-opec.html

OPEC and its oil-producing allies agreed on Thursday to hike output in July and August by a larger-than-expected amount as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine wreaks havoc on global energy markets.

OPEC+ will increase production by 648,000 barrels per day in both July and August, bringing forward the end of the historic output cuts OPEC+ implemented during the throes of the pandemic.

The group has been slowly returning the nearly 10 million barrels per day it agreed to pull from the market in April 2020. In recent months, output has risen between 400,000 and 432,000 barrels per day each month.

4.29-4.49 here

Saw a report on tv someone was charging 8 in CA!!!!!

Refineries are already at full capacity. If Louisiana or Texas get hit with hurricanes they will have to shut some of those down. It can takes weeks to start back up and get back to full capacity, and that’s if there are relatively few damages. Then you have the reserves which will all be empty sooner than later, and that will push prices higher. Good time to go buy a nice bicycle or a Vespa.

$5.60.

Sincere question: If refineries are already at full capacity, when oil production is being intentionally limited by oil companies, does that mean increased oil production wouldn't help lower gas prices thanks to that bottleneck?

By Design

Lower crude prices means lower prices for refined product such as gasoline. An increase in crude production anywhere in the world is a good thing since crude is a globally-traded commodity. What really freaks people out is when the spare capacity of global crude supply gets tight and moves toward not being able to satisfy global demand.

Domestic oil production is currently at historical highs. Could be higher if we were “drill baby drill” mode. Those days are never coming back tho. Too many companies got crushed. We don’t use a lot of that domestic crude anyways. Most of our refineries are made for heavy “sour” crude (Saudi, Canada, Venezuela ect). They aren’t capable of refining light and heavy. We were at same refining rates in most recent years, but much more crude on the market.

Read this morning that for the first time in history, gas is $4 a gallon or higher in every state.

Last I saw oil production was still about 1m barrels below 2019 levels.

In case anyone was curious:

Murphy Express was 3.94 on Monday in Shawnee. Cheaper than Sam's, which they are quite often.
4.25 today. Quite a jump. Sam's is showing 4.07 on their website.
